The MRSEC is managed by an executive committee consisting
of Profs. J.J. dePablo (director),
M. G. Lagally (IRG 1),
R. Blick (IRG 1),
R. Hamers (IRG 2),
T. Kuech (IRG 2),
N. Abbott (IRG 3),
P. Bertics (IRG 3),
and W. Crone (education and outreach). The research is carried
out by interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs) on a rolling horizon basis
and smaller seed groups on a limited-term (2 - 3 year) basis.
IRG 1 focuses on the science and technology of
semiconductor nanomembranes so thin that the thinness determines the structure and topography, and creates
distinct electronic, mechanical, chemical and optical properties.
IRG 2
works toward developing the ability to design, fabricate, and characterize
interfaces between inorganic materials and organic molecular structures
in such a way as to have complete control over their structural and
electronic properties.
IRG 3 focuses on the design, synthesis,
and processing of three-dimensional substrates with controlled topography on the
1 - 100nm scale and their use as interfaces to biology.
Completed Projects
Interdisciplinary Education Group
efforts impact the wider scientific community and the public.
Research Facilities
supported by the MRSEC are available for use by the national
materials science community.
