Douglas Keszler

[1] He is also the director of the Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry,[2] and a member of the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI) leadership team.

They specifically focused on phosphor Zn1-3x/2GaxS:Mn and strontium sulfide codoped with copper and potassium powders which was observed to have identical emission properties as thin films.

In 2001, he demonstrated a hydrothermal dehydration technique of precipitates which avoids formation of amorphous products that are created through the conventional drying process of heating.

[7] Keszler’s research group focuses on the synthesis and study of inorganic molecules and materials related to next-generation electronic and energy devices.

Their discovery and development on water-based chemistries for high-quality films demonstrates the leading results in the field of ultra small-scale dense nanopatterning and tunneling electronic devices.

Keszler's group discovered that indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is a material-of choice for the replacement of hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H) that is currently used in switching TFTs.
