Summary
NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY This project supports research that contributes new knowledge for scaling down future electronic devices. As the technologies inside smartphones and sensors become more compact and complex, managing the flow of electricity in devices becomes increasingly difficult. One of the most important basic materials in these devices is the dielectric, which is a thin insulating layer that helps control electrical signals. Creating uniform and defect-free dielectrics using conventional processing methods, especially materials that are only a few atoms thick, remains a major challen
