University of Delaware’s Dr. Ian Appelbaum is looking to “spin” his research on the magnetic properties of electrons to get more electronic enhancements from semiconductors. Appelbaum’s research is now funded in part with a nearly half-million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Defense Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research. Since the Fall of 2004, he has headed a research team at the University of Delaware. The spintronics phsyicist conceived, developed, and experimentally demonstrated a mechanism for hot electron injection luminescence.
