2016 08 * Group members receive UROP Awards
Congratulations to Dean Collett, Eric Snyder, and Zijian Wang, who won UROP Awards!
Students from various disciplines around the University of Utah campus write research proposals to compete for the funded research program. UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program) provides assistantships up to $1,200 for each awardee. More information: http://our.utah.edu/for-students/urop/
2016 08 * REU Poster Presentation
Austin Koch, an REU (Rese
arch Experience for Undergraduates) participant, gave a poster presentation on August 5 at the Chemistry Atrium in Henry Eyring Building. His work focused on the nanoscale compositional analysis of topological insulators and 3D Dirac semimetals.
The samples were provided by Prof. Taylor Sparks (MSE) and Prof. Vikram Deshpande (Physics). The high-resolution STEM/EDX measurements were performed in the Utah Nanofab. Thank for the great help from the TEM experts (Dr. Jeffery Aguiar, Dr. Brian Devener) and Yoon’s Research Group members (Eric Snyder, Alvaro Bonilla, Dean Collett, Zijian, Wang).
Abstract: Topological insulators are a new class of materials in which the surface has a high conductivity similar to graphene, while the interior bulk has an insulating property. In order to realize the high performance optoelectronic devices, homogeneous materials are required. In this work, we investigated the surface and interior bulk properties of two materials (Cd3As2 Dirac semimetal and BiSbTeSe2 topological insulator) to determine local structural, compositional or fabrication-based anomalies.
2016 07 * One Fine Day at the U
We welcome a high-school intern, Sarah Shipp from the Waterford School. Sarah measures the variation of photocurrent of silicon solar cells that are mounted at 30° and 60° with respect to the ground. Read more
