The Novel Materials research group at the University of Tulsa is under the department of Physics and Engineering Physics.

The group is currently involved in the deposition and characterization of photovoltaic thin films, carbon nanotubes, synthesis & reduction of nano size metal oxides and mathematical modeling for the most efficient solar cell applications.

Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is used for deposition of thin films whereas PECVD and Hot wire CVD (HWCVD) are used for the deposition of Carbon Nanotubes. The mathematical modeling is done using AMPS 1-D software.

RESEARCH FACILITIES
  • PECVD Reactor for Carbon NanoTubes
  • VPECVD Reactor for Thin Films Growth
  • Hotwire CVD for NanoTubes

NIST 'Nanotubes on a Chip' Aims To Lead Power Measurements
A novel chip-scale instrument made from carbon nanotubes may simplify absolute measurements of laser power. Developers of the unit at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) say it may prove especially useful for measuring light signals transmitted by optical fibers in telecom networks.

Two-Dimensional Nanostructures

Two-Dimensional Nanostructures
After the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene," even more research and development efforts have been focused on two-dimensional nanostructures. Illustrating the importance of this area in future applications, Two-Dimensional Nanostructures covers the fabrication methods and properties of these materials.
