About

The Electronics Science and Technology Division (ESTD) conducts programs of basic science and applied research and development. A technically diverse staff of experimental, theoretical, and computational physicists, surface and materials scientists, chemists, and electrical, electronic, chemical and mechanical engineers reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the Division’s research. 
 

ESTD's well-equipped laboratories and unique fabrication facilities provide the research tools needed to move rapidly from a flash of inspiration to real-world demonstration. In-house efforts include research and development in quantum information science and technology; nanoelectronics; surface and interface sciences; electronics material growth, characterization, and processing; theoretical and computational electronics and electromagnetics; power electronics; microwave, millimeter-wave, and submillimeter-wave solid-state and vacuum electronics technologies; optoelectronics; photovoltaics; radiation effects.
