Nanotechnology Now Our NanoNews Digest Sponsors Home > Press > Magnetism drives metals to insulators in new experiment: Study provides new tools to probe novel spintronic devices An illustration of two domains (blue and orange) divided by a domain wall (white area) in a material. The magnetic order is designated with organized arrows (electron spins) while the colors represent two different domains (but the same magnetic order). In the material pictured here, the domain walls are conductive and...

Housing and Development Newsletter According to ISCS, DenBaars “has made seminal contributions to the science of nitride materials, and is recognized as an international authority on the growth and structure of nitride semiconductors by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). He has performed pioneering work on polar, non-polar and semi-polar Gallium nitride (GaN) materials and devices.” A professor of materials who holds the university’s Mitsubishi Chemical Chair, DenBaars joine...
