Welcome to Prof. Leseman's group.
The primary focus of Professor Leseman's research group is to understand the physics of nano/micro-materials. Our approach to this understanding is primarily through design of novel experiments followed by modelling. Project topics include studies in the adhesion of of micro/nanodevices, length scale effects in thin films, nanothickness material synthesis and alteration of the electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties.
Projects in progress include:
Projects in progress include:
- Prevention of stiction failure in NEMS/MEMS
- Improved etching of Si using XeF2
- In-situ investigations of Au films less than 100nm in thickness
- Low temperature synthesis of graphite on patterned surfaces
