Title: NIST Research on Chemical Functionalization and Manipulation of Nano Materials
Summary:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting research on chemical functionalization and manipulation of nanomaterials to advance state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques and understand their applications in future technologies. The project focuses on controlling and tuning the electrical and optical properties of low-dimensional materials, including 2D materials and perovskites, through chemical surface modification methods.
Key points:
1. NIST is investigating methods to control, tune, and alter the electrical and optical properties of nanomaterials through chemical surface modification.
2. The research aims to understand the relationship between the structure and performance of nanoelectronic systems, which is crucial for developing advanced nanoelectronic devices.
3. The project focuses on developing surface functionalization and spectroscopic characterization approaches to accelerate the development and characterization of advanced nanoelectronic devices.
4. Systematic characterization of solution-processed thin-film quantum materials is necessary to understand their quantum, electrical, and optical properties and develop the relationship between microstructure and device properties.
The research has potential applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, quantum sensing, and quantum computing.
