 Our group is interested in the electron transport properties of nanoscale materials. We fabricate nanoscale electronic devices consisting of individual nanomaterials as well as their ensembles. We then investigate fundamental electronic properties of these devices at various temperatures (down to mK), source drain voltages, gate voltages, and magnetic fields. At low temperature, the properties of the nanomaterials are governed by quantum mechanics and we tune different parameters to probe novel phenomena. We then apply our understanding to develop better transistors, sensors, solar cells etc. Our research is currently funded with a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER grant, two NSF EPDT grants, and a DOE grant (subcontracted from Hunter college of CUNY). Opportunities: We are always looking for outstanding, ambitious and hardworking graduate students. Please contact Dr. Khondaker If you are interested. News: July 2008: Paul's paper on carbon nanotube single electron transistor is published in Applied Physics Letter. To read the paper click here May 2008: Several achievements of our group is highlighted in the first edition of Nano News letter. Read here April 2008: Our proposal on a novel organic photovoltaic device is funded by National Science Foundation.
April
2008: Paul Stokes is selected as one of the participants from USA to attend
Meetings of Nobel Laureates in Linadu, Germany (www.lindau-nobel.de
). He will be listening to Nobel prize winners lectures, have dinners with
them etc for seven days. This is going to be very exciting for Paul.
Congrats Paul April 2008: Paul received best poster award at 2008 UCF research week for his poster entitled, "Local-Gated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors Assembled by AC Dielectrophoresis" Congrats Paul.
March 2008: Paul's paper on local gated DEP assembled FET is accepted and published in Nanotechnology. Congratulation to Paul. March 2008: Our group made five presentations in APS March meeting in New Orleans. For details please click here February 2008: Rachel (high school student) placed second in Seminole county science fair for her work on carbon nanotube IR sensor. She is also accepted in UF for her college. Congrats Rachel.
