Kathleen Tyrie Smith’s PhD research with the Jena-Xing group has focused on understanding and improving metal contact processes and interfaces on oxide semiconductors. Her article – demonstrating both low resistance (< 0.1 Ω-mm) non-alloyed ohmic contacts and weak Fermi level pinning on high-surface energy (010) surfaces of β-Ga2O3 – has been selected as an Editor’s Pick by the Journal of Applied Physics.
