Nanophononic Metamaterials for Thermoelectrics

Heat is carried in solid materials predominantly by atomic vibrational waves called phonons. Theory, simulations and experiments have shown that heat transport

Earth Energy Budget

The goal of this project is to extend and improve the measurements of the key climate record of the long-term balance between Earth absorption of solar energy

GaN Nanowire Metrology and Applications

We synthesize semiconductor nanostructures to serve both as test structures for measurement techniques and as building blocks for novel metrology tools and

Calibration of Space Weather Observational Instruments at NIST

Satellite and rocket instruments for solar ultraviolet and extreme-ultraviolet observation are calibrated using synchrotron radiation at SURF III.
