Research Summary
Dr. Parsons’ research focuses on fundamental aspects of fabrication and function of advanced electronically active materials. Particular areas of interest include:
- Atomic Layer Deposition, for highly confromal fabrication of inorganic insulators and metals with atomic-scale control of growth and interface formation
- Molecular Electronics, to better understand charge motion and electrical contacts to molecular ensembles and single molecules
- Nanotube Structures, including synthesis, assembly, electrical characterization, and reactions involving carbon nanotubes
- Low Temperature Processing, including supercritical-solvent and plasma processes to enable novel electronic devices on plastic substrates
- Bio-Mimetic Molecular Photovoltaics, using porphyrin materials to help enable low cost high performance energy generation
