Randall Headrick is a physicist at the University of Vermont whose work focuses on in-situ and real-time X-ray scattering studies of thin film growth, including oxide epitaxial growth, organic semiconductor films, and ion-beam nanopatterning.[1]
Research
Headrick's research uses coherent and time-resolved X-ray scattering techniques to probe the nanoscale dynamics of thin film growth processes. His publications include studies of local step-flow dynamics in thin film growth with desorption, plasma-enhanced thin film growth, self-organized ion beam nanopatterning of silicon, and charge transfer enhancement in organic semiconductor thin films such as TIPS-pentacene.[2] According to Semantic Scholar, his body of work totals 156 papers with 3,235 citations and an h-index of 27.[3]
His research has been supported by the National Science Foundation through a series of awards totaling $4,042,301 across ten grants. These include "In-situ X-ray Scattering Studies of Oxide Epitaxial Growth Kinetics and Dynamics" ($735,397, awarded January 16, 2024), "PFI-RP: Scalable Fabrication of Flexible Electronics and Solar Cells with Improved Environmental Stability" ($691,906, awarded July 9, 2019), "In-situ and Operando Studies of Metastable and Transient States of Organic Semiconductor Thin Films" ($487,123, awarded June 16, 2017), "Real-time X-ray Scattering Studies of Oxide Epitaxial Growth" ($480,000, awarded August 4, 2015), and "Real-Time Studies of Solution-Processed Organic Semiconductor Thin Films" ($371,921, awarded May 28, 2013), all held at the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College.[4]
