IRG-4 has used molecular beam epitaxy to grow functional semimetal/semiconductor nanocomposites with control over nanoscale morphology. These nanostructures include highly ordered ErSb nanowire arrays within a GaSb matrix. The unique structural, thermal and electrical properties give these materials great potential in applications such as thermoelectrics and THz technology.
