Lead story
Julie A. Smyder and Todd D. Krauss Coming attractions for semiconductor quantum dots
Applications of colloidal semiconductor quantum dots have recently begun to move from the laboratory into the commercial sector. Smyder and Krauss discuss quantum dots,
their applications, and some of the challenges on the horizon.
Reviews
Dieter Bimberg and Udo W. Pohl Quantum dots: promises and accomplishments
QDs inserted in quantum wells have led to semiconductor lasers that can operate at wavelengths that were previously impossible, or at least difficult to reach, for a given semiconductor family. In this review Bimberg and Pohl discuss recent progress in the field of quantum dot devices.
Tsuyoshi Sekitani and Takao Someya Human-friendly organic integrated circuits
Many electronic systems such as flat panel displays, optical detectors, and sensor arrays would benefit greatly from mechanical flexibility. Sekitani and Someya describe foldable and conformable integrated circuits based on organic thin-film transistors (TFTs) with very high mechanical stability.
Matthew T. Hardy, Daniel F. Feezell, Steven P. DenBaars, and Shuji Nakamura Group III-nitride lasers: a materials perspective
Hardy and colleagues review III-nitride based laser diodes, focusing on the materials challenges in each phase of device development. Advances in crystal growth and p-type doping are discussed, and state of the art device results are highlighted.
Danick Briand, Alexandru Oprea, Jйrфme Courbat, and Nicolae Bвrsan Making environmental sensors on plastic foil
With the emergence of the printed electronics industry, the development
of sensing technologies on non conventional substrates such as plastic
foils is on-going. Briand et al. review the work performed and the trends in
the development of environmental sensors on plastic and flexible foils.
M. D. Angione, R. Pilolli, S. Cotrone, M. Magliulo, A. Mallardi, G. Palazzo, L. Sabbatini, D. Fine, A. Dodabalapur, N. Cioffi, and L. Torsi.Carbon based materials for electronic bio-sensing
Bio-sensing represents one of the most attractive applications of carbon
material based electronic devices. Angione and colleagues review recent
advances in the realization of field-effect transistor (FET) based sensors
that comprise a bio-receptor within the FET channel.
