295. | Northwestern InSb Research Revisited Electron Materials Technology News - April 1, 1996 Unfortunately the previous story about Northwestern university's QWIPs was incorrect. While the Center is working on QWIPs, the work discussed involved simple InSb p-n junction devices. ... [read more] |
296. | Some Like it Hot Chemistry and Industry - February 19, 1996 Big brother may soon have a new way of watching you, thanks to researchers at Northwestern University. They've used advanced film deposition techniques to make heat-sensitive detectors so sensitive that they can provide detailed images of the human body from several miles away. ... [read more] |
297. | Cameras That Go Infrared in the Night New Scientist - February 17, 1996 Infrared detectors made from materials already used in lasers promise to provide the best infrared cameras and night-vision devices yet. These quantum well infrared photodetectors, or QWIPS are made from alternating layers of semiconductor materials, arranged atom by atom into layers just 10 molecules thick, says Manijeh Razeghi. ...

298. | Growth of Ge-Dopes AlGaN Compound Semiconductor - January 31, 1996 Photoluminescence data for Al[x]Ga[1-x]N samples with x < 0.2 displayed sharp band edge emission and a bread deep-level emission near 2.4 eV. Ge doping eliminated the deep level emission features observed in un-dopes AlGaN samples suggesting that this deep level emission may be related to Ga vacancies that could be filled by Ge donor impurities ...

299. | Razeghi, Faber Reconized for Achievement Observer - November 6, 1995 Two faculty members at the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science -- Manijeh Razeghi and Katherine Faber -- have been cited by the Society of Women Engineers for outstanding achievements. ... [read more] |
300. | Aluminum-Free Diode Lasers Last Longer Laser Focus World - November 1, 1995 Ongoing test suggest both rugged operation and long life for InGaAsP based aluminum-free diode lasers fabricated by researchers at Northwestern University. Elimination of aluminum removes an easily oxidized specie that spreads performance-degrading defects through the structure by forming light-absorbing dark lines. ... [read more] |
