Principal Investigator
 |
Professor Yoke Khin Yap
Professor Yap has been focused on the synthesis, characterization
and application of various novel materials including thin films,
nanotubes, and new nanostructures of carbon, boron nitrides (B-N),
carbon nitrides (C-N), and boron-carbon nitrides (B-C-N); single
crystals and nanowires of wide band-gap semiconductors (AlN, GaN,
ZnO); and new nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals (CLBO, GdYCOB, KAB).
He has published more than 100 articles, including review papers,
peer reviewed papers, conference papers, book and encyclopedia chapters,
and encyclopedia CD-ROM.
