The Electronic Materials Branch applies diverse experimental and theoretical capabilities to a broad program of basic and applied research on solid-state materials that have potential device or systems applications of interest to the Navy. Investigations of fundamental mechanisms for crystal growth are coupled with research on the physics and chemistry of fundamental processes controlling the electronic and optical properties of semiconductors, nanomaterials and interfaces. This materials research is coupled closely to electronic/electro-optic device and sensor development performed both in the Electronic Materials Branch and in other branches within the Electronics Science and Technology Division. The Electronic Materials Branch is composed of two sections: Nanotechnology and Semiconductor Physics.
Active areas of research include:
- Carbon-based nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene
- Wide-band-gap semiconductors such as SiC and GaN
- MBE growth and applications of the InAs/GaSb/AlSb semiconductor family
- Quantum information based on coherent excitations in semiconductor quantum dots
- Growth and directed assembly of nanomaterials such as nanowires and nanoclusters
- Theory of semiconductor nanostructures
- Surface science
