Overview
The Rogers group focuses on
studies involving surfaces, interfaces, and films of technically important
materials. We determine the relationship
between how a material was processed and its material properties and
performance in a targeted application.
We create materials using several processing techniques, including
chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, and combustion
synthesis. We use surface sensitive
analysis techniques, such as x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Auger
electron spectroscopy to characterize our materials. Our most recent work has been in the area of
oxide-based ceramic phosphors for solid-state lighting and displays. Our newest project involves creating calcium
phosphate coatings on polymer scaffolds to mimic the chemistry and morphology
of bone.
