Title: Thermal Spectroscopy of Ultra-Wide and Wide Bandgap Semiconductors
Location: Army Research Lab – Adelphi Laboratory Center – Adelphi, MD
Description: New ultra-wide and wide bandgap (U/WBG) semiconductor materials are important to making advances in power and RF electronics. This project applies laser spectroscopy techniques, including time-domain thermoreflectance and frequency-domain thermoreflectance, to understanding the thermal boundary conductance and thermal conductivity in these new materials. This understanding is used to provide feedback to team members so they can grow better materials and design improved devices including RF electronics and high-power platforms.
Requirements: Comfortable working with lasers; nanoscale thermal transport; TDTR; FDTR Experience with software for data analysis and plotting.
Level: Graduate
Required Major(s): Physics, Optics, Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
