The Nanotechnology Section (Code 6876) performs both basic and applied research in areas that have potential impact on electronics technology for the Navy, Marine Corps, and other components of the Department of Defense. Areas of research include MBE growth and characterization of antimonide-based compound semiconductors for low-power high-electron mobility transistors, p-channel field-effect transistors, heterojunction bipolar transistors, hetero-barrier varactors, and mm-wave diodes; carbon nanotubes for chemical detection; graphene for electronics; surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy from nanowires for chemical sensing; UHV surface science; surface infrared spectroscopy; quantum-chemical modeling of chemical warfare agents and simulants; and gold nanocluster chemiresistor sensors.
