Researchers from the University of Minnesota successfully create thin film of unique semimetal for the first time. For the first time, a team from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has synthesized a thin film of a unique topological semimetal material that has the potential to generate more c
A research team has synthesized a thin film of a novel topological semimetal material, which promises increased computing power and storage with lower energy use. Their unique manufacturing process is industry-compatible, and their close study of the material revealed significant insights into its unprecedented properties.
One such candidate for these new and improved computer chips is a class of quantum materials called topological semimetals. The electrons in these materials behave in different ways, giving the materials unique properties that typical insulators and metals used in electronic devices do not have.
Researchers have been working on topological materials for years, but the University of Minnesota team is the first to use a patented, industry-compatible sputtering process to create this semimetal in a thin film format. Because their process is industry-compatible, Wang said, the technology can be more easily adopted and used for manufacturing real-world devices.
“One of the main contributions of this work from a physics point of view is that we were able to study some of this material’s most fundamental properties,” said Tony Low, a senior author of the paper and the Paul Palmberg Associate Professor in the University of Minnesota Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
