BAR-ILAN INSTITUTE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY & ADVANCED MATERIALS | 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

61 Prof. Aryeh Frimer Department of Chemistry Member of BINA, Nano-Materials Center Research Areas • The synthesis of strained olefins and their photosensitized reactions with singlet and triplet oxygen. • The organic chemistry of active oxygen species within organic media, liposomal lipid bilayers, and biomembranes. • The preparation of high temperature thermo-oxidatively stable aerospace polymers. • The preparation, characterization and neutralization of green reduced sensitivity high energy compounds. Abstract The main interest of my group is the study and design novel optoelectronic\ electronic quantum devices and materials. We combine modeling, device design and fabrication, various characterization techniques and synthesis of novel materials and structures. Ultimately, we wish to identify and harness novel quantum-mechanical physical phenomena into real-world technology.

Abstract Electronic properties of low dimensional systems Electrons in solids behave as quantum waves which may interact and interfere. The quantum electronic nature, which becomes important in reduced dimensionality and low temperatures, has a significant influence on properties such as electric conductivity, magneto-transport and density of states.
