'Nanocrystal Conductivity: Paving the Road for Electron.'
Silicon semiconductor electronics dominate the world around us. From cell phones to computers, modern day devices depend upon this material. Silicon’s immense utility stems from its properties as an electrically controllable semiconductor. However, the processes required to create semiconductor devices from silicon are expensive, as well as time and energy-intensive. A promising alternative to silicon is nanocrystal thin film technology, which involves low cost and solution-processable semiconductor materials. In this talk, we focus on Cherie Kagan’s work in creating and controlling nanocrystal thin films to optimize their properties in high-performance devices of the future.
