Quantum Dot Self-Assembly via Langmuir Decomposition

我们将开发一种新的能力，以大规模模式在表面上精确定位量子结构，解决纳米技术中的一个关键问题。我们预计将产生管理关键光刻技术的专利，这些技术将支撑下一代设备的制造，我们预计将在这一领域产生分拆公司。将新的量子结构集成到光电子学中的能力将影响从通信和照明到环境传感和医疗保健的日常生活。该项目将为材料物理和纳米技术领域的博士后研究员和研究生提供关键的专业知识和高水平的培训。

We will develop a new capability to precisely position quantum structures on surfaces in large-scale patterns, solving a key problem in nanotechnology. We expect to generate patents governing key lithographic technology which will underpin the fabrication of the next generation of devices and we anticipate the generation of spin-off companies in this area. The ability to integrate new quantum structures into optoelectronics will impact everyday life from communications and lighting to environmental sensing and medical care. The project will generate key expertise and high level training for post-doctoral fellows and post-graduate students in materials physics and nanotechnology.
