Semiconductor Growth, Characterization and Modeling for Advanced, Infrared Imaging Application

Due: May 1, 2025

$75,000

Description

Historically, HgCdTe has been the material of choice for infrared (IR) imaging applications because this compound semiconductor possesses a narrow band-gap, which can be varied with alloy composition. Therefore, the HgCdTe material system may be used to fabricate a wide variety of IR photodetectors with respect to IR spectral response. Future military systems require IR sensors that leap ahead current technology. It is anticipated that future sensors will extend current sensitivity and resolution as well as incorporate additional...

Grantor Contact InformationLeo Anthony Almeida, Phone: 703.704.3243.Grantor Emailleo.a.almeida.civ@army.milOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
