Robert J. Nemanich received his bachelor's and master's degrees in physics at Northern Illinois University before continuing on to obtain his doctorate at the University of Chicago in 1977. He joined North Carolina University’s faculty and remained there for nearly 20 years before joining Arizona State University as a professor for the Department of Physics in 2006. Academics aside, Professor Nemanich is also heavily involved the fields of research including: diamond and other wide bandgap semiconductors, nanostructures, semiconductor surface processing, heteroepitaxy on Si, silicide formation, Raman scattering and surface science.
Modern electronic devices will be based on complex nanometer scale materials structures, and biological and chemical sensors will employ multifunctional nanostructures that integrate molecular, biological and electronic materials. It is only recently that techniques have been developed to image the dynamics of nanometer scale structures and to determine their properties. Our group has applied advanced microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to characterize the growth and properties of thin film interfaces and nanostructures. We have led the developent of photo electron emission microscopy (PEEM) with tunable UV light from a free electron laser. Our students have explored the dynamics and interactions of nanostructures as they grow or evolve. Scanning probe systems have also been used as a basis for imaging polar materials including ferroelectric materials and wurtzite structured semiconducting materials such as GaN. These techniques offer the possibility to develop nanopatterning approaches that can drive self assembly of molecular, biological and electronic nanostructures.
The NanoScience Lab (NSL) at Arizona State University involves an interdisciplinary group of researchers dedicated to the study of semiconductor surfaces, interfaces, and processing, with a focus towards electronic and optoelectronic applications. Students from physics, electrical engineering, and materials science work together under the direction of Dr. Robert J. Nemanich
