Strategic Partnership for Research in Nanotechnology

This final report discusses researchers working at The University of Texas at Austin whose work has been possible through the Strategic Partnership in Nanotechnology SPRING grant. These researchers have either received support directly from awarded flinds or used equipment purchased through this grant. The research can be broken into two research areas Nanotechnology for Energy Needs and Nanoelectronics. Highlights of both projects are outlines below. The SPRING award also made a large number of instrument purchases possible. Much of this equipment is housed in the SPRINGKECK clean room facility which is an open facility serving the University of Texas at Austin.
