Texas State's Materials Science, Engineering, and Commercialization Program (MSEC) program has a truly unique capability for creation and characterization of advanced and artificially structured materials: a nine-chamber molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) machine; a dual 8-inch prototype production MBE system; a prototype-production metal organic chemical vapor deposition system; organic film deposition; and a graphene chemical vapor deposition system. Research areas include thermoelectric and photovoltaic materials, next-generation microelectronic materials, epitaxial oxides, power electronics and novel semiconducting, and ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials.
