NanoBio seminar: Excitonic devices based on 2D semiconductor heterostructures—Sept. 2

Andras Kis, Associate Professor, EPFL
Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures 

In this talk, Kis will demonstrate how, by using MoS2/WSe2 van der Waals heterostructures, we can realize excitonic transistors with switching action, confinement and control over diffusion length at room temperature in a reconfigurable potential landscape.

New Semilab SE-2000 Spectroscopic Ellipsometer at MIT.nano

To expand thin-film measurement capabilities available to its researchers, MIT.nano has acquired a Semilab SE-2000 Spectroscopic Ellipsometer. The instrument has been installed and qualified in the third-floor cleanroom in Building 12, and is now available for training and use.

Welcome new users!

We are able to get new users into the lab, but COVID-19 precautions have made some trainings more challenging or lowered the throughput. Thus, we’re in the middle of changing our orientations and make trainings more scalable.

Fab.nano Happy-Complaint Hour

MIT.nano is looking to explore new feedback mechanisms for Fab.nano, both in bldg. 12 and 39. Every Wednesday evening (6-7pm), MIT.nano staff will host a 1-hour combination of “small comment session” and “social” hour.

HMDS oven installation continues

The bulkhead work on the new HMDS oven has been completed, and next week the installation will be completed before starting up the system.
