Advanced Nanoelectronics & Nanostructures Group
Goals
Our research group specializes in both the synthesis and electronic device integration of novel low-dimensional electronic and quantum materials.
Our primary focus is on bottom-up synthesized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), where we achieve atomic precision in their design, molecule by molecule, with flexibility in design, and seamlessly integrate them into nanoelectronic devices, particularly nanoscale field-effect transistors (FETs).
Our ultimate goal is to achieve ultra-efficient high-performance logic technologies by addressing the limitations faced by silicon scaling.
Issues Involved or Addressed
- How can we improve the efficiency and scalability of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) synthesis methods?
