Appelbaum Wins NSF Career Award for Silicon Spintronics Research

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Ian Appelbaum, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Delaware, has received a Faculty Early Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the university announced yesterday. The five-year, $400,000 award will support Appelbaum's research and companion education project on silicon spintronics. The emerging field of spintronics focuses on harnessing the magnet- University of Delaware spintronics researcher Ian Appelbaum (Photo by Jon Cox) like spin property of electrons to produce faster, more efficient electronics ranging from...Read full article

    Glossary
    electronics
    That branch of science involved in the study and utilization of the motion, emissions and behaviors of currents of electrical energy flowing through gases, vacuums, semiconductors and conductors, not to be confused with electrics, which deals primarily with the conduction of large currents of electricity through metals.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
    spin
    Acronym for self-aligned polysilicon interconnect N-channel. A metal-gate process that uses aluminum for the metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) gate electrode as well as for signal and power supply connectors.
