Semiconductors
Energy demand is rising, and the transition to a clean energy economy will not be successful if we require that populations reduce their consumption. Semiconductors are the building blocks of energy transmission, in the grid and in the devices consumers use. Advances in the development of this key class of materials can improve efficiencies, drive down costs and the impacts of production and significantly reduce energy inputs and demands.
RASEI Researchers explore a wide range of different aspects of semiconductors, including advanced theory on structure and electron transport, cutting-edge structural characterization, and innovative synthesis of new semiconductor materials for a range of applications.
