Semiconductor nanomaterials
The synthesis of new nanoscale materials with unique physical properties can enable revolutionary advances in science and technology. The Lee group are leaders in the design, synthesis, characterization, and hierarchical assembly of nanoscale materials. In addition, the Lieber group are leaders in characterizing fundamental structural and physical properties of these materials, and also fabricating and characterizing novel device structures and arrays of devices that are used in studies at the interface with biology and medicine. Research areas being pursued include the following:
-
Nanomaterials synthesis. We are pursuing studies of the growth and characterization of nanomaterials with an emphasis on the design and synthesis of nanowires with novel morphologies and complex modulation of dopant and/or composition in order to realize building blocks with novel electronic/photonic properties and/or morphologies that enable new opportunities in the life sciences.
-
Nanomaterials properties. Illuminating fundamental structural and physical properties of newly synthesized nanomaterials is central to both further synthetic advances and ‘applications’ of the nanostructures in other areas. In this regard, the Lieber group carries out state-of-the-art electron microscopy work to characterize atomic-level and up structure and composition, as well as measurements at the single nanostructure level to reveal electrical and optical properties.
-
Assembly of nanostructures. Controlled assembly of nanoscale wires and other nanomaterials is central to realizing our bottom-up paradigm of nanodevice arrays through functional systems, and as such we have maintained strong effort in developing both sophisticated and practical methods for hierarchical organization of nanomaterials. These studies are often motivated by and demonstrated with the development of novel tools and technologies that can open up opportunities at the interface with other areas of science.

Semiconductor nanostructures
Nanoscience or nanotechnology is currently quite familiar, in its terminology and even in its concept, to people. It is being closely connected and applied to many other different research areas. Much of interest on nanoscience or nanotechnology has arisen from exploring new phenomena and overcoming current technological limitations in electronic devices caused by their structural features with nanometer-scale sized components and materials inside. Besides, unique properties of nanomaterials have recently opened interdisciplinary research fields. Nanomaterials are being started to be used as key components for many devices. A versatile chemical and physical property of semiconducting nanostructures depending on their dimensionality, size, and surface area makes the nanomaterials be greatly potential building blocks for electronic, photonic, and sensing device fabrications.
Especially, there has been considerable interest in ZnO and GaN since this wide band gap material has been used in conventional planar structures to fabricate UV-blue LEDs and lasers, as well as a range of other high-performance electronic devices. ZnO and GaN nanostructures include quantum dot, nanowire, and complex shapes with dimensionality of from zero to three. In this section, Research areas being pursued includ the following:
