Electronic Materials research encompasses a variety of materials, including semiconductors, magnetic materials, and optical materials. They can be both inorganic and organic. The most common applications for electronic materials are computer chips, optical devices such as LEDs and diode lasers, sensors, and materials designed to take advantage of unique quantum properties. At UF, we’re examining novel methods of creating and doping semiconductors and growing interesting new materials with unique magnetic and electrical properties for future devices. We’re even investigating ways of making organic photovoltaic devices that may promise inexpensive energy harvesting.
