IAMDN researchers have dynamic programs in areas that will impact future electronics, photonics and sensors. Organic electronics promise low-cost, large area applications varying from flexible display technology to light harvesting. One Rutgers team is studying basic mechanisms of charge transport and has obtained the highest mobility (speed) organics in the world, setting a new milestone in this burgeoning technology. In nanoelectronics, we have a nationally leading team focused on the growth, characterization and computational modeling of next generation transistor materials. A device-oriented set of projects with broad applications in sensors, power electronics/energy efficiency and telecommunications involve wide bandgap semiconductors, especially ZnO and SiC. Entirely new approaches are underway in the creation of innovative emergent oxide materials with potential applications that combine optics, magnetics and piezoelectricity. Rutgers facilities for this demanding research are currently considered “best in the world”, and anchor extraordinary materials innovation. A new and exciting set of projects involve implementations of quantum computing, a futuristic approach to computation that may revolutionize information processing. Other projects include micro/nano-photonics for high-speed optical communication, MEMS, sensor for bio-mechanical applications and other nanostructured materials. Our experimental teams are supported by an excellent arsenal of surface and bulk synthesis and characterization tools within the Rutgers Laboratory for Surface Modification, the Microelectronics Research Laboratory and the Center for Ceramics Research, and interact closely with very strong computational teams, including those in the world leading Center for Materials Theory.
