We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Acquisition of a Scanning Probe Microscope and a Liquid Helium Cryostat For Micro-Nano Scale Thermal Science Research and Education At the University of Texas At Austin @ University of Texas At Austin
The proposal was submitted in response to the FY2002 Chemical and Transport Systems equipment solicitation, described in NSF Announcement. NSF 01-93. The PIs propose to acquire two pieces of equipment that will establish a significant experimental capability in micro/nanoscale transport phenomena at the University of Texas at Austin. Research activities enabled by this equipment include thermal property measurements of nanostructures and in low conductivity dielectric films, investigation of heat dissipation mechanisms in carbon nanotubes, and near-field laser manufacturing and nanoscale fluorescence imaging. Application of these nanostructures, including carbon nanotubes and semiconductor nanowires, in the areas o nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, and thermoelectric cooling has great technological potoential. The equipment will also be utilized in new graduate courses at U.T.-Austin. Funding is from the Thermal Transport and Thermal Processing of the Chemical and Transport Systems Division.

Ner: Room-Temperature Single-Electron Transistors With Metallic Colloidal Nanoparticles @ University of Texas At Austin
This objective of this research is to develop a highly exploratory
non-lithographic approach to fabricate room-temperature single-electron
transistors based on chemically synthesized metallic nanoparticles of
controllable sizes and shapes. The approach is based on controlled
manipulation and assembly of colloidal nanoparticles assisted by a
nonuniform electric field. The proposed approach is unique in that the
nanoparticles are used to form not only the central conducting islands
which allow room-temperature operation, but also metallic interconnects to
connect the central islands to conventional structures without the need of
high-resolution lithography. The approach also allows for the fabrication
of suspended single-electron transistor structure, which may address the
problem of random background charges.
Broader Impacts: The proposed work could lead to true breakthroughs in the
fabrication technology of practical single-electron devices, which are
identified in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors as
possible alternatives to metal-oxide-semiconductors field-effect
transistors, which will soon run into fundamental physical scaling limits,
for future memory and logic applications. The project will also provide the
students with excellent research and educational opportunities in
nanoscience and nanotechnology. The highly interdisciplinary nature of the
research will result in broad training of students. The research project is
well suited for undergraduate students at all levels to participate.
Particular effort will be made to involve minority students.
