Funded Activity Summary

Nanofabrication of Organic (Plastic) Semiconductor and Superconductor Devices. Organic crystals and thin-films are the first known materials to display all four regimes of electrical conduction - insulator, semiconductor, metal and superconductor. Additional properties such as self-assembly, biocompatibility, molecular level control over properties and flexibility give them exceptional prospects for future industrial applications. We will fabricate organic transistors and conduct detailed investigations of their electrical and magnetic properties to develop a fundamental understanding of these new materials. Most significantly, we will make the first use of an atomic force microscope-based oxidation lithography technique to fabricate nanoscale quantum devices that exploit the full range of conduction in a single material.
