Birck Center End of the Year Updates
by Shakouri, Ali 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

Dear Colleagues, As we are starting end of the year holidays, this is a good opportunity to review some of the recent exciting developments and think about opportunities in the new year (we will be starting a new decade!). A summary of Birck activities were presented at the BNC Faculty (or Staff) Meeting in November (see below the agenda as well as the link to the viewgraphs). We have been fortunate to add a wide range of state-of-the-art tools in 2019 with great support of EVPRP/Colleges, faculty who submitted internal and external grants and outstanding work of all staff (building, engineering, scientists, business and administrative). New installations will continue in 2020 and I hope we will keep the momentum and maintain Birck as one of the top nano centers in US. Faculty should check the list of new tools to see if their research could benefit from latest capabilities. As a shared facility, increased usage will lower the rates for everybody. Sunil has continued the engineering excellence initiative that Dana and Dimitri had started. Recent developments include electronics log for select tools and process quality monitoring. Engineering staff are working hard to improve the training wait time. The average is ~5 business days. Zhihong has also been working with staff scientists on the training. The wait time for new electron microscopy tools (Themis TEM, Helios FIB and Apreo SEM) has been reduced significantly with the help of two student researchers. Please let us know if there are still bottlenecks or if you see opportunities for improvement. We had some issues with cross-contamination of tools, please encourage your students to be mindful of the impact on other users. If there are any doubts, engineering staff should be consulted. We noticed that a surprising large number of students don’t use the tools within 2 months after their training. After an extended period of time, there are more chances for mistakes and this will affect the tool up time. Zhihong has been working to enhance Birck’s research profile by taking the lead on major center activities (nano electronics and secure electronics -in collaboration with Joerg, Peter, Carol and others). We have also met with several associate deans for research and 30+ faculty to identify the areas of growth and the potential need for Birck Annex (see additional details below -input from all faculty and researchers is requested). We had several workshops and conferences to help increase Birck visibility internally and externally. These includes international symposium on quantum science and technology, spintronics and quantum imaging workshops (in collaboration with Yong’s Quantum Center). We also had SMART industry consortium, NextFlex and Purdue 2050, Conference of the Future, which helped us to imagine long term impact of our research and also work closely with College of Liberal Arts (CLA), Regenstrief Center and Krannert Business Analytics. Jaime is working with Neil Dilley, Tracy Hudson and others to revamp our website and the displays/ posters in Atrium and around the cleanroom. We receive >2,500 visitors a year including some of the distinguished Purdue guests. Please help Jaime and Neil to showcase your latest research accomplishments. Future events include storytelling shark tank competition (Mar 26 -led by Neil Dilley in collaboration with Brian Lamb school of communication), nano days (Apr 15-17 -led by Jaime and Ron Reger), Birck Research Symposium (Apr 29 -led by Zhihong, see additional details in January), and Grand Parents Univ. (June 25-26 -led by Ron). We will also continue Fab Forums (led by Justin Wirth), Faculty seminars (led by Peter Bermel/Zhihong) and Friday Coffee Hours (led by NSAC). I hope you participate in these events and encourage your students to contribute as well. Active participation and ownership of faculty, staff and students is essential to enhance the truly unique and vibrant community at Birck. There are exciting opportunities to partner with Discovery Park District (DPD). We are working with Dave Broecker, Chief Innovation Officer at PRF, to help create a smart district as a Learning Living Laboratory. The goal is to bring some high tech companies to have presence in the Convergence Building and DPD. Birck is also leading Purdue’s effort as a part of $38.9M Lilly Endowment project, Wabash Heartland Innovation Network (WHIN). Our students are taking latest internet of things (IoT) sensors in digital ag and in next generation manufacturing to the ten counties surrounding Purdue. We hope to expand external users, but there are ample opportunities for faculty to be engaged by having industry collaborators close to your lab. The last viewgraph from BNC faculty meeting presentation has been updated with the latest requests for equipment replacement. If you know of other urgent needs, please contact Sunil, Zhihong or me before January 10th. I look forward to hear your suggestions and comments. Don’t hesitate to set up a time to meet one-to-one to go over the material below or discuss about any ideas (just send me an email and cc-Jaime). I hope you have great holidays and best wishes for the New Year. Cheers, Ali ********************* BNC Faculty Meeting November 2019 The link to the presentation material can be found at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lwi2teo74nfwkd2/BNC_Faculty%20November%202019prin… * New Staff * Leadership initiative (monthly strategic meetings) * Update from Associate Director for Operations * equipment installation schedule, new equipment, engineering excellence (electronic logs, process quality monitoring, training wait time), new rates, staff seminars, cross-contamination, facility evacuations * Update from Associate Director for Research * planning for Birck Annex, electron microscopy new capabilities and user training, Birck research symposium April 29, * Communications and Outreach * atrium display, workshops/conferences (Purdue 2050, spintronics, quantum imaging, NextFlex), nanodays Apr.15-17, shark tank storytelling competition Mar.26, faculty seminar series * Financial Update (Recharge income/subsidies, top users, grants) * Equipment replacement/ upgrade inputs ********************* Birck Annex I would like to acknowledge Birck Annex Advisory Committee: Janes/Jacob (ECE), Reifenberger/Hung (Phys), Claridge (Chem), Jayant (BME), Xu (ME), Hosen (Forestry) and Dima Zemlyanov who have provided extremely helpful feedback.

REMINDER: BNC Faculty Seminar, TODAY Thurs., 11/21 @ 12noon in BRK 2001. Presenter: Wenzhuo Wu Dear all, The next BNC Faculty Seminar is today Thursday, 11/21 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001 Presenter: Ravi and Eleanor Talwar Rising Star Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering, Wenzhuo Wu. Wenzhuo Wu<https://engineering.purdue.edu/IE/people/ptProfile?resource_id=126298>, Ravi and Eleanor Talwar Rising Star Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering will present an overview of his work on Hybrid nanomanufacturing of hierarchical wearables for smart user interface for the first half then the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Hybrid nanomanufacturing of hierarchical wearables for smart user interface Abstract: The seamless and adaptive interactions between functional devices and their environment (e.g., the human body) are critical for advancing emerging technologies, e.g., wearable devices, consumer electronics, and human-machine interface. The state-of-the-art technologies, however, require a complex integration of heterogeneous components to interface the environmental, mechanical stimulus, which is ubiquitous and abundant in the above applications. These limitations have severely hampered the advancement and broader utilization of related technologies. Moreover, all existing technologies require a power source, which complicates the system design and limits operation schemes. In this talk, I will discuss our recent progress in developing self-powered human-integrated nanodevices through the hybrid nanomanufacturing of multifunctional materials into heterostructured nanodevices. This new class of wearable devices are conformable to human skins and can sustainably perform self-powered, non-invasive functions, e.g., physiological monitoring and gesture recognition, by harvesting the operation power from the human body. Such an operation scheme is fundamentally hinged on the polarization induced current term in Maxwell’s displacement current. This research is expected to have a positive impact and immediate relevance to many societally pervasive areas, e.g., biomedical monitoring, consumer electronics, and robotics.

Thermoelectric Energy Conversion: Nov. 21 - 10 AM in PGSC
by Turner, Jaime J 15 Nov '19

15 Nov '19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thermoelectric Energy Conversion: Science and Engineering Challenges and Opportunities Arun Majumdar Stanford University Thursday, November 21, 2019 10:00 am • Purdue Graduate Student Center (PGSC) Followed by a fireside chat with Ali Shakouri Abstract: The last 20 years have witnessed intense research focus on the science and engineering of solid-state thermoelectric materials, with the goal of achieving high ZT (~ 2-3) over a large temperature range and thus enabling commercial technology for waste heat recovery and cooling. While the scientific research has to led many fundamental insights about how to engineer the behavior of electrons and phonons, the promise of high ZT and widely-used commercial technology remains largely unfulfilled.For waste heat recovery, this is partly because the performance targets have been raised due to competition from increasingly lower cost of solar and wind electricity. However, with the phasing out of today’s refrigerants due to the Kigali amendment of the Montreal Protocol, cooling offers an enormous opportunity if high ZT materials can be developed for room temperature operation, and system-level costs can be reduced and performance increased. The increase of ZT at room temperature requires new mechanisms and science to engineer the electronic and phononic structure and transport. This talk will provide a viewpoint of these new scientific opportunities and challenges in the context of practical performance and cost metrics. It will also offer new approaches to manipulate entropy change in liquid media for the purpose of energy conversion. Bio: Dr. Arun Majumdar is the Jay Precourt Provostial Chair Professor at Stanford, and a faculty member in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. He is co-director of the Precourt Institute for Energy, which integrates and coordinates research and education activities across all seven Schools and the Hoover Institution. Dr. Majumdar's current research focuses on electrochemical and thermochemical redox reactions that are fundamental to a sustainable energy future, multidimensional nanoscale imaging and microscopy, and a new effort to re-engineer the electricity grid using data science, including deep learning techniques. He was the founding director of ARPA-E before which he was the Almy & Agnes Maynard Chair Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering at UC–Berkeley. Dr. Majumdar is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Presenter is Amy Marconnet ***Please note time change, presentation will start at 12:30pm**** Dear all, The next BNC Faculty Seminar will be this Thursday, 11/14 @ 12:30pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Amy Marconnet. ***Please note time change, presentation will start at 12:30pm**** Amy Marconnet<https://engineering.purdue.edu/MTEC>, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering will present an overview of her work on nanoengineering materials for thermal transport for the first half then the remainder will be open for questions and high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. Nanoengineering Materials for Thermal Transport Abstract: Nanostructuring materials allows independent control of multiple materials properties. High conductivity materials such as carbon nanotube forests are useful as thermal interface materials (TIMs) for dissipating power in electronic devices, while low conductivity materials like nanoporous silicon for thermal barrier coatings and enhanced thermoelectric performance. Beyond thermal transport, storage of thermal energy is critical for effective heat removal for applications involving highly-transient heat fluxes, and during material processing. Often to achieve the desired functionality, multiples materials are combined together to form heterogeneous composites. For example, in lithium ion batteries, the particulate active materials (with micro- and nano-scale features) are sandwiched between metal electrodes and polymer-based separators with microscale thicknesses to form macroscale battery cells. This seminar will discuss methods to understand and control thermal transport and development of accurate and reliable experimental and analytical techniques for thermal characterization across multiple length scales. Further, I will highlight the integration of material synthesis with thermal property measurements and physics-based analysis to provide new avenues for improved materials and device performance.
