Mavrikakis, R. J. Hamers, T. F. Kuech, P. Gopalan, P. G. Evans (DMR #0520527)Organic molecular layers can provide useful ways to interface oxide materials with organic and biological materials. The Mavrikakis, Hamers, Kuech, Gopalan, and Evans group at the University of Wisconsin MRSEC have collaborated to develop a new way to modify the surface properties of planar ZnO surfaces and of ZnO nanowires. Organic alkenes will graft to ZnO when illuminated with ultraviolet light,....

G. Evans, R. J. Hamers, T. R. Kuech, P. Gopalan (DMR #0520527)Evans, Hamers, Kuech, and Gopalan have found that the transport of electrons between ZnO and organic electronic materials can be observed directly using device-like structures that electronically sense the charge transferred to the inorganic semiconductor. The team has developed a new technique in which thin film transistors are used to analyze scientifically and technologically relevant organic/inorganic semiconductor....
