The aim of this activity is the synthesis and characterization of Si and Ge nanostructures, mainly quantum dots, immersed in dielectric Si-based thin film matrixes (e.g. Si oxides and nitrides).
The use of transparent conductive oxides (TCO) is one of the most critical issues in several fields: photovoltaics, transparent electronics, smart windows, touch screens.
The demand for low voltage, low power, high performance and increased functionalities has issued severe challenges for the integration progress of nanoelectronic devices so new disruptive architectures with 3D schemes have been proposed.
It is well assessed that AlN-based (inorganic) flexible pressure sensors represent a highly competitive alternative to polymers-based piezoelectric devices, since, in spite of their relatively lower piezoelectric coefficients, they offer a number of advantages: inorganic piezo-materials do not ne
Two-dimensional (2D) crystals beyond graphene are a new frontier in materials science that is currently having a tremendous impact on the nanotechnology of advanced materials.
The activity concerns the synthesis, fabrication and characterization of materials and solar cells based on innovative structures and advanced processes.
The theoretical activity of the unit of Agrate Brianza is mainly focused on the simulation of material and devices that can meet the needs of present and the forthcoming nano-electronic industry which may be based also on quantum processes
