There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary:
Michael Moseley has been named the winner of the Best Student Oral Presentation Award for the 2009 North American Molecular Beam Epitaxy Conference. He will receive this award at the 2010 North American MBE Conference, to be held in Breckenridge, Colo. September 26-29. His advisor is Alan Doolittle.
ECE Ph.D. student Michael Moseley has been named the winner of the Best Student Oral Presentation Award for the 2009 North American Molecular Beam Epitaxy Conference. He will receive this award at the 2010 North American MBE Conference, to be held in Breckenridge, Colo. September 26-29. His advisor is Alan Doolittle, an associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech.
Mr. Moseley's presentation was entitled "Deeply degenerate p-GaN grown by metal-modulated epitaxy." His work involves a method of growing GaN with hole concentrations as high as 7.9e19 cm-3 or equivalently approximately 40 times higher than the previously perceived limit. This advance makes practical tunnel junctions to be used in advanced solar cells and could possibly improve the performance of light emitters such as LEDs and lasers.
Two more of Dr. Doolittle's ECE Ph.D. students, Jordan Greenlee and Laws Calley, have also been chosen for the 2010 Best Student Abstract Award, which will be presented at the same conference at the end of this month.
