本周四，7月28日上午应芦红教授邀请，美国University of Delaware的Joshua Zide教授在科学楼902做报告，时间是9:30-10:30。欢迎您参加！
摘要：
Advances in electronic materials (specifically, semiconductors andnanocomposites) enable new device technologies and improve the properties of existing technologies. In this talk,Dr. JoshuaZidewill present efforts withinhisgroup on the growth of new materials by molecular beamepitaxyand the resulting advances in solar cells,thermoelectrics, and optoelectronics. Specifically,hewill discuss two material systems: (1)nanocompositesconsisting of metallic nanoparticles (such as ErAs andTbAs) within III-V semiconductors (such as InGaAs andGaAs), and (2) dilutebismuthidesemiconductors in which bismuth is incorporated into III-V materials to reduce thebandgapsignificantly, with unique band alignments that cannot be easily achieved in other materials. In these new materials, electronic, thermal, and optical properties can be quite different from those of conventional materials, with significant promise for applications in a variety of (opto)electronicdevices.
个人简介：
Dr. Joshua Zide is an Associate Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Delaware. He received his BS with Distinction in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University and completed his Ph.D. in Materials at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
