-
Investigates fundamental mechanisms of thin-film growth using various
thermal and plasma deposition methods; develops instrumentation to
investigate growth processes in situ and in real time in hostile
environments.
-
Emphasizes role of defects and impurities in growth, characterization
of local atomic mechanisms involved in kinetics of growth, and
theoretical studies of the growth process.
-
Designs and develops novel film structures and combinations of
materials at the nanoscale; growth processes for semiconductors at the
nanoscale; magnetic thin films, carbon nanotubes, and multi-layer
films on polymers.
