Organic semiconductors have sparked significant interest due to their inherent properties as flexible, solution processible, and chemically tunable electronic materials. In the last 10 years, the improvements in charge carrier mobility in small molecule

W centers are trigonal defects generated by self-ion implantation in silicon that exhibit photoluminescence at 1.218\textmu m. We have shown previously that they can be used in waveguide-integrated all-silicon light-emitting diode sources. Here we optimize

Existing sensors for gaseous species often degrade their performance because of the loss of the measurement accuracy in the presence of interferences. Thus, new sensing approaches are required with improved sensor selectivity. We are developing a new

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and two-dimensional (2D) materials are widely studied as complements to Si complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. Field-effect transistors (FETs) made with 2D materials often exhibit mobilities

Plasmonic tip-sample junctions, at which the incident and scattered optical fields are localized and optimally enhanced, are often exploited to achieve ultrasensitive and highly spatially localized tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS). Recent work has

The current practice of manually tuning quantum dots (QDs) for qubit operation is a relatively time- consuming procedure that is inherently impractical for scaling up and applications. In this work, we report on the \it in situ} implementation of a
Nanoscale metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs) with only one defect at the interface can potentially become a single electron turnstile linking frequency and electronic charge to realize the elusive quantized current source. Charge

The three-dimensional architectures for field effect transistors (FETs) with vertical stacking of Gate-all-Around Nanowires provide a pathway to increased device density and superior electrical performance. However, the transition from research into

We report on the growth of isotopically enriched 28Si epitaxial films with precisely controlled enrichment levels, ranging from natural abundance ratio of 92.2% all the way to 99.99987 % (0.832 × 10-6 mol/mol 29Si). Isotopically enriched 28Si is regarded
Low density charge mobility from below bandgap, two-photon photoexcitation of bulk Silicon (Si) is interrogated using time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS). Total charge mobility is measured as a function of excitation frequency and fluence (charge

In this work, we report on an ultrafast direct measurement on the transient ferroelectric polarization switching in hafnium zirconium oxide with a crossbar metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure. A record low sub-nanosecond characteristic switching time of
Paper is a biphasic bio-composite material. The complexity of paper from a material science point of view is increased when it is manufactured for or used as a substrate in security printing products. However, most tests to evaluate such printing and

Across solid state quantum information, material deficiencies limit performance through enhanced relaxation, charge defect motion, or isotopic spin noise. While classical measurements of device performance provide cursory guidance, specific qualifying
