The main objective of the project is the integration of III-IV Nitride materials into a variety of devices and systems. In order to efficiently develop the necessary know how to realize such devices, the project structure consists of four tasks with clearly defined objectives, each headed by a staff scientist. In addition to postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, we are always interested in recruiting bright and motivated undergraduate students for active involvement in our research project. |

The Photovoltaic and Nanostructures project provides an interdisciplinary approach to R&D problems in photovoltaic materials and devices. Our project investigates a wide range of fundamental and applied materials problems to improve cell efficiency, increase power/weight ratios, and decrease the cost of high efficiency solar cells. Under development are sophisticated new III-V quantum-scale semiconductor materials and solar designs with projected efficiencies in excess of 40%, and new photovoltaic energy concepts that will enhance planetary and deep space exploration. |

Dr. Steven Pei - Project Leader |
|
|
|
|
|
The Optoelectronics Project currently focuses on developing novel mid-infrared (IR) sources and detectors with Ga(In)Sb/InAs/Al(In)Sb heterostructure materials. The primary thrust is to explore their potential in trace gas detection, remote chemical sensing, IR countermeasures, and IR imaging for commercial, space and defense applications. |
