Biochemical conversion of biomass to fuels has become increasingly important as climate and energy security issues challenge our nation’s dependence on conventional energy sources. Sandia’s biochemical conversion program team works closely with industrial, university, and research lab partners to develop the foundation for the next generation of biochemical conversion technologies – including advanced biomass pretreatment, [...]
2010 Quantitative and Depth-Resolved Investigation of Deep-Level Defects in InGaN/GaN Heterostructures December 24, 2010 Journal of Electronic Materials recently published the article “Quantitative and Depth-Resolved Investigation of Deep-Level Defects in InGaN/GaN Heterostructures” authored by EFRC scientists Andy Armstrong, Mary Crawford, and Daniel Koleske. Deep-Level Optical Spectroscopy (DLOS) was used to obtain depth-resolved defect energy levels [...]
2011 Announcing Dr. Michael E. Coltrin as New Director of the SSLS EFRC December 1, 2011 We are extremely pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Michael E. Coltrin as the new Director of Sandia’s Solid-State Lighting Science (SSLS) Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC). Mike has had a long and distinguished career advancing the science [...]
Introduction The Solid-State Lighting Science Energy Frontier Research Center includes more than 30 participants who are conducting long-range, fundamental research on the science that underlies solid-state lighting. Although most of the research is conducted at Sandia National Laboratories, the EFRC includes important collaborations with our external partners at the University of New Mexico, Northwestern University, Los [...]
The Combustion Research Facility (CRF) is an internationally recognized center of excellence for combustion science and technology whose operations are supported by the DOE Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES). The CRF is home to about 100 scientists, engineers, and technologists who conduct basic and applied research aimed at improving our nation’s [...]
