OverviewAI-generated summary

Dharmraj Kotekar‐Patil investigates the behavior of electrons in novel semiconductor materials, focusing on their application in electronic devices. His recent work explores the performance enhancements of ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors based on aluminum gallium nitride/gallium nitride (AlGaN/GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structures. This research involves nanohole patterning of the barrier surface to improve responsivity and experimental evaluation of different nanohole array geometries.

Kotekar‐Patil also studies quantum dots and atomically thin semiconductors, including molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) and tellurium flakes. His research examines phenomena such as excited state spectroscopy, spin splitting, phase-coherent transport, and classical to quantum diffusive transport in these advanced materials. His work contributes to the understanding of electron transport mechanisms in two-dimensional and nanostructured materials, with potential implications for future electronic and optoelectronic devices. He has published 34 papers, accumulating over 1,050 citations, and holds an h-index of 10. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Hugh Churchill and Mourad Benamara.
