The goal is to put everything but the external static magnetic field onto the chip, including provisions for data storage, averaging, and communication. The project is interdisciplinary among Electrical and Computer Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Chemical Engineering. Organometallic Vapor Phase Epitaxy Of II-VI Semiconductors Cadmium telluride is a semiconductor used as a lens for lasers and, when deposited as mercury cadmium telluride, as an infrared detector. Cadmium zinc telluride is used as a substrate for liquid phase epitaxy of mercury cadmium telluride. The thrust of the work is to quantify the growth rate, and to improve both crystalline quality and electronic properties.
Rigid disks require that the magnetic sensor fly within tens of nanometers of the disks.
The altitude of flying must be quantified and the disk protected from intermittent contact with the head. We are investigating the effect of thermal and electric potential gradients on the motions of bubbles and particles, respectively. Both theoretical and experimental investigations are the basis of this research. Who's Who in the Dept.
