Research Areas
The focus of Prof. Joe Greene’s research has been the development of an atomic-level understanding of adatom/surface interactions during the dynamic process of vapor-phase crystal growth in order to controllably manipulate nanochemistry, nanostructure, and, hence, physical properties. His work has involved nanoscience and film growth by all forms of sputter deposition, solid and gas-source MBE, UHV-CVD, MO-CVD, and ALE.
Honors:
Joe has published more than 500 papers and review articles, 28 book chapters, and co-edited 4 books in the general areas of crystal growth, thin-film physics, and surface science. In particular, he has used hyperthermal condensing species and UV photochemistry for probing as well as stimulating surface reactions that do not proceed thermally. Joe has presented over 450 invited talks and 75 Plenary Lectures at international meetings.
