Research by Dr. Daniel Santavicca 

 

 		   
We study solid state systems with one or more dimensions on the nanometer scale. These systems provide a testbed for the study of physics in lower dimensions and can display behavior that is strikingly different from macroscopic systems. We are also interested in developing new electronic and optoelectronic devices that exploit the unique properties of nanoscale systems. Students interested in participating in this research should contact Dr. Santavicca.
