Extreme Light Trapping, a new nanomaterials technique bends light, pushing the limit of thin-film absorption in solar and water-splitting applications. Light trapping describes the process of confining light to a given space, usually with the intent of converting it to other forms of energy.
The Lurie Nanofabrication Facility (LNF) at the University of Michigan is a state-of- the-art shared facility with 13,500 sq. ft of clean room space and provides advanced micro- and nano-fabrication equipment and expertise to internal and external researchers. The Lurie Nanofabrication Facility supports and enables cutting edge research, from semiconductor materials and devices, electronic circuits, solid-state lighting, energy, biotechnology, medical devices and unconventional materials and processing technologies.
