The University of Vermont & State Agricultural College, doing business as the University of Vermont (UVM), received a $199,980 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to investigate the potential of a ferroelectric semiconductor material, alpha-In2Se3, for fabricating acoustoelectric circulators. The project aims to: 1) develop techniques for working with this new material, 2) improve its electron mobility through heterostructure fabrication, and 3) survey acoustoelectric device structures utilizing In2Se3 to identify optimal designs and address experimental challenges. This research seeks to leverage the material's ability to efficiently convert electrical to mechanical energy, and vice versa, to enable wireless devices that can transmit and receive signals simultaneously, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing wireless congestion. The work will also highlight the applications of semiconductors to local students and integrate with UVM's efforts to build a strong workforce for the national semiconductor industry.
