Current research
My main interest is the integration of novel nanomaterials and devices with silicon electronics processing with particular emphasis on the semiconducting and dielectric properties of oxides, chalcogenides, and carbides. Our recent breakthroughs in these areas include 100nm GeSbTe phase change memory and monolayers metal dichacogenides by (non-aqueous) electrodeposition, SIC resistive memory with a record 9 orders of magnitude on/off ratio, and selective growth by chemical vapour deposition of thermo-elecric materials Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3.
Pushing the boundarie of e-beam lithography to create functional structures underpins much of my additional research, resulting in magneto-electronic and plasmonic devices with sub 10nm features and ultrafast or smart modulation of optical and dielectric properties of ITO, AZO, and VO2 by optical, electrical, and thermal methods.
