Ali Javey named 2015 MRS Outstanding Young Investigator for contributions in integrating nanomaterials

摘要

Ali Javey, associate professor at the University of California-Berkeley, has been named a 2015 Materials Research Society (MRS) Outstanding Young Investigator. Javey was cited "for innovative contributions in integrating nanomaterials into device applications." He will be presented with the award at the 2015 MRS Spring Meeting in San Francisco. Javey developed a novel contact printing strategy for depositing highly uniform, well-aligned, clean monolayer films of semiconductor nanowires with controlled density. His approach represents an implementation of the "bottom-up" paradigm that is general to the material, substrate, and dimensionality of structures. He used this approach to assemble three-dimensional nanoelec-tronic structures consisting of up to 10 vertically stacked layers of functional nanowire transistors, and novel multifunctional structures consisting of logic gates and nonvolatile memory in distinct, addressable layers. This work has opened up a unique area of nanoscience.
