RESEARCH INTERESTS

One of our group's core competencies is the synthesis of high-quality Si nanowires (SiNWs) in amounts approaching tens of milligrams per batch by the supercritical fluid-liquid-solid (SFLS) growth method. I am currently endeavoring to dope SiNWs with phosphorus (n-type doping) in the context of our SFLS method. The hope is that n-type doping will enhance the charge carrier mobility in the SiNWs, which would be advantageous for applications such as field effect transistors and other Si semiconductor devices.
