Description of the project: Semiconductor piezoelectric nanowires (NWs) (GaN and ZnO among others) have improved piezoelectric properties compared to thin films and bulk materials, due to their greater flexibility and sensitivity to lower forces. An intrinsic improvement in piezoelectric coefficients has also been identified by recent theoretical and experimental studies [1, 2]. These NWs can […] >>

                           MSc subject SiC microelectrode arrays for ex-vivo characterization     Thesis background : Nervous system damage and disorders come in a variety of forms and rarely heal over time. Millions of individuals  worldwide suffer from physical disabilities that are a direct result of damage to their central nervous system (CNS);  thousands more have lost […] >>
