At CRISP, we are harnessing the unique properties of transition metal oxides to develop cutting-edge oxide devices. Our breakthrough enables the expansion and compression of an electron gas through applied electric fields, effectively modulating the speed of electrons. This innovative approach could enhance the performance of high-speed transistors. Our research includes transport measurements on vacancy-rich SrTiO3, demonstrating how oxygen vacancies serve as a reservoir of mobile electrons, impacting electron mobility and device efficiency.

S D VG Creating new devices using oxide materials The unique properties of transition metal oxides allow electrons to be manipulated in new ways. At CRISP, we have created an oxide device that enables a gas of electrons to be expanded or compressed with an applied electric field. The expansion or compression of the gas modulates the speed of moving electrons. The change in the speed of the electrons could be utilized in high speed transistors.
