Nanotechnology Research - Universities

NCMN is concerned with atomic manipulation, properties affected by nanoscale dimensions, self-assembly, ordered nanoarrays, quantum dots and wires, nano-electronics, quantum computing, nanomechanics, nano-optics, molecular design, nanoelectromechanical systems, and nanobiological function and life sciences.

The Center for Electro-Optics and Functionalized Surfaces (CEFS) is a unique comprehensive research center whose faculty, Postdocs, graduate, and undergraduate students work on problems related to light/matter interactions, as well as the functionalization of surfaces for a range of applications

The group carries out state of art research in the field of nanotechnology using lasers. They aim to develop novel techniques using lasers for various applications including surface cleaning, nanoimprinting, nano-manufacturing, building photonic devices, nano-Raman and Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microscopy.

Mission: To progress nanoscale opto-electronic components as the physical foundation of the unfolding information society.

The nanostructures research group of C. Jeffrey Brinker developing the synthesis, processing and integration of porous, composite and complex nanostructured materials, including mesoporous silica nanoparticles and protocells for targeted drug delivery and nanomedicine.

CHTM's mission is one of research and education at the boundaries of two disciplines. The first, optoelectonics, unites optics and electronics, and is found in CHTM's emphasis on semiconductor laser sources, optical modulators, detectors and optical fibers. The second, microelectronics, applies semiconductor technology to the fabrication of electronic and optoelectronic devices for information and control applications.

A University of New Mexico materials research center focused on micro- and nanoscale materials, including self-assembly of nanoscale materials, nanostructured electrochemical ceramics, catalysis and sensor technologies, developed in close collaboration with Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories.

This exciting program bridges the distinct properties of the nanoscale to microsystem functionality. The integrated academic and research activities highlight our capabilities and unique breadth in materials synthesis and self-assembly, nanolithography, interrogative platforms, and functional micro/macrosystems.
