The Stanford Atomic Layer Deposition and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy research project is explore the large parameter space of nanostructures (size, shape, material, organization) using the combined tools of Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). The team plans to do this by observing and tailoring the natural ALD growth process and by fabricating nanostructures on the scale of 10 nanometers directly using the STM tip and ALD chemistry. Information gained from this project about the optical and electronic properties of nanostructures will be used to inform their use in solar energy conversion and charge storage.
