Project 4:
The student will be in charge of growing Sn-based semiconductor aerogels via sol-gel chemistry. The gels will be super critically dried and then its electronic properties will be measured using techniques such as UV/Vis, transmission electron microscopy, and conduction measurements.
The student will be in charge of the growth and characterization of the semiconductor gels. The student is expected to work 20h/week for two semesters.
The results of the projects will be presented in conferences such as Electronic Materials Conference, the March Meeting of the American Physical Society, and the annual meeting of the Materials Research Society. We also expect the student to submit at least one journal publication per semester.
