Research:
Please click here for a 3-page article that
explains what we are after.
The research is
ongoing here to analyze III-V nanowires (InSb, InAs, etc.) from a materials,
physics, and electrical engineering perspective.
We want to
provide the community with a broad and deep analysis of these materials in
nanowire geometry.
I work with a great team of physicists, chemists, material engineers,
electrical engineers and more who collaborate to accomplish this task.
Keywords: InSb
Nanowire Field-Effect Transistor, InAs, Quantum capacitance limit, 1-D transport,
room temperature, ballistic transport, single sub-band, III-V nanowire growth,
passivation, top down, nanoscale device research.

Theory
There are
two things in theory: concept and mathematics. It is difficult to focus on both at the
same time and learn anything. The
brain doesn’t work that way.
I hope you explore my take on these subjects from a conceptual point of
view. From there, the math is the
only hurdle. I do not show
derivations… be careful. I
link to the derivations and hope you can derive them. HOWEVER, I highly encourage that before
you do any derivations, you consider the concept, think a lot about it, and
ask questions outside the box. A
top-down person will see things more clearly than a bottom-up person.

Travel Pictures:
I have been
extremely fortunate to have travelled to 20+ countries including throughout the
US. Here are some of the pictures
posted and more will be added.
Thank you for taking a looking and letting me know what you think!
