This project seeks to implement a state-of-the-art photoluminescence capability to extend the PIs semiconductor characterization capabilities and to provide an important tool in undergraduate education; it will be used in undergraduate laboratory projects for a special materials science course. The PI has established a research program in exploring materials issues of semiconductor thin film growth focused on microstructural, morphological, and compositional evolution in III-V semiconductor alloys. This project will allow correlation of microstructural, morphological, and compositional phenomena to optoelectronic properties. %%% This is a research enhancement grant made under the Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) program. The POWRE grant will maintain and raise her visi-bility in the very competitive and male-dominated field of semiconductor and microelectronic re-search by branching her research into the realm of optical characterization and device applica-tions. The research is expected to contribute basic materials science knowledge at a fundamental level of special relevance to the behavior of electronic/photonic materials, and to assist with the integration of research and education. The project is co-supported by the Division of Materials Research, and the MPS OMA(Office of Multidisciplinary Activities). ***

该项目旨在实现最先进的光致发光能力，以扩展PI半导体表征能力，并在本科教育中提供一个重要工具；它将用于一门特殊材料科学课程的本科实验室项目。该研究所在探索半导体薄膜生长的材料问题方面建立了一个研究计划，重点是III-V半导体合金的微观结构、形态和成分演变。该项目将使微观结构、形态和组成现象与光电特性相关联。%这是根据妇女在研究和教育中的职业机会(POWRE)计划提供的研究增强补助金。通过将她的研究分支到光学表征和器件应用领域，POWRE赠款将保持并提高她在竞争激烈且男性主导的半导体和微电子研究领域的能见度。预计这项研究将在与电子/光子材料的行为特别相关的基础水平上贡献基本的材料科学知识，并有助于研究和教育的整合。该项目由材料研究司和MPS OMA(多学科活动办公室)共同支持。***
