DESCRIPTION:[][]\n\nCubic boron arsenide (c-BAs) is an indirect bandgap (1.
 82 eV) semiconductor\, it has a similar band structure as silicon\, but it
 s thermal conductivity is 10 times higher and its carrier mobility is thre
 e times larger at room temperature. This suitable bandgap\, simultaneous h
 igh thermal conductivity and high carrier mobility have made c-BAs a promi
 sing material for next generation electronics\, especially after recent ex
 perimental verifications of these excellent thermal and electronic propert
 ies. However\, many challenges still remain in order for c-BAs to realize 
 its many promises. Besides the challenge of synthesis of uniform large siz
 e c-BAs crystals\, techniques that can rapidly characterize and screen hig
 h quality c-BAs are still lacking. In this talk\, I will first give a brie
 f introduction to the history and basic properties of c-BAs\, I will then 
 explain its next-only-to-diamond high thermal conductivity. After that\, I
  will show optical techniques that have been developed to measure thermal 
 conductivity and carrier mobility. Finally I will show photoluminescence a
 nd Raman spectra of c-BAs\, and discuss the challenges of using them to id
 entify and characterize high quality c-BAs.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Gordon Bur
