The 19th Hubert M. James Lecture Frank Wilczek, 2004 Nobel Laureate Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics Massachusetts Institute of Technology Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 4:30pm Quantum Beauty Does the world embody beautiful concepts? Mystics and philosophers long imagined that it should, and scientists gathered hints that it does, but it is really only in the twentieth century, with the development of quantum theory, that the answer emerged as a triumphant "Yes!" I'll...

Dr. Yanyan Cao Seminar
Title: Solution Processes to CZTS Thin Film Solar Cells Abstract:Solution processing has the potential to significantly reduce the production cost for thin film photovoltaic cells. Several solution-based methods to fabricate Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4(CZTSSe) thin films are presented. In one approach highlighted in this talk, binary and ternary chalcogenidenanoparticles were synthesized and used as precursors to form CZTSSethin films. The composition of the CZTSSefilms can be easily controlled by...

Joint Physics and Birck Nanotechnology Center Seminar - Professor Chih-Kang Shih
Ultra-thin epitaxial metallic films on semiconductors – A playground for exploration of novel quantum phenomena at nanoscale When an electronic system is confined in one or more dimensions to a length scale comparable to the de Broglie length, quantum confinement occurs. Such confinements have played central role in artificially engineered electronic systems such as quantum wells, wires, dots and related structures. For semiconductors, quantum confinements occur at a length scale...

Dr. Debdeep Jena Seminar
Abstract: Polarization fields are a consequence of broken symmetry in III-Nitride semiconductor heterostructures, and have remarkable consequences in the physics and device design. In the first part of the presentation, I will show how we have exploited the built-in spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization in III-Nitrides to make electronic and optical devices faster, smaller, and better. In the second part of the presentation, I will talk about another consequence of...
