On March 24, 2012, Triangle MRSEC Fellows and Investigators participated in the MLS NanoDays and reached hundreds of children and adults by presenting Triangle MRSEC relevant experiments. Enabled by native Spanish speakers in the Triangle MRSEC, some experiments were presented in Spanish.
The Triangle MRSEC enjoys a vibrant ongoing partnership with German researchers supported through an International Graduate Research and Training Grant (IGRTG) from the DFG.
Dynamic electrostatic lithography is invented to dynamically generate various patterns on large-area and curved polymer surfaces under the control of electrical voltages.
On-chip optical modulation is one of the most important functionalities for integrated silicon photonic circuits. We demonstrate that sputter-deposited polycrystalline metallic thin films are promising materials for realizing ultra-low power modulators. Wafer-scale deposition of highly oriented metallic films allows CMOS-compatible, monolithic integration of active photonic elements on large scales.
On March 22, 2012, CRISP, in collaboration with Yale's Science Pathways, hosted a public lecture in support of the 2012 NanoDays national outreach campaign. IRG2 leader Jan Schroers gave a talk entitled, Strong as Steel, but Pliable as Plastic: Metals Conquering the Nanoworld. Hands-on demonstrations for students were provided by CRISP researchers.
An interdisciplinary team from the Colorado School of Mines and scientists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, mentored approximately 30 students in cutting edge renewable energy projects.
Nanoionic composites have the potential to dramatically enhance the ionic conductivity of solid state electrolytes that are critical to numerous devices including fuel cells, electrochromic windows, and thin film batteries.
