Applied Physics Letters publishes short experimental and theoretical papers related to applications of physics phenomena in all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology. The article, “Nanoscale compositional analysis of wurtzite BAlN thin film using atom probe tomography,” was published December 7, 2020 and Mazumder’s student, Jith Sarker, is the first author.

The paper reports on a nanoscale compositional analysis that will be important in the development of emerging ultra-wide band gap material, BAlN with a high B content and larger thickness. It has the potential for use in future high-power electronics and optical applications.

Mazumder joined the department in 2017 and her research focuses on solving complex material science related problems using advanced microscopy. She received her PhD in physics and material science at the University of Rouen, France in 2010.
