Such behavior is more difficult to achieve with positive (p-type) carriers, than with negative (n-type) carriers, and her work has been very important in developing the field of transparent electronics, a major technology based partially on basic research done by Prof. Tate and her collaborators at OSU.<\/p>\n<p>For more details on the award, see the College of Science story about the awards ceremony:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/impact.oregonstate.edu\/2015\/09\/celebrating-staff-and-faculty-excellence\/<\/p>\n<p>For more details on Prof. Tate&#8217;s research see her lab site:<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/www.physics.oregonstate.edu\/~tate\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Monday Prof. Janet Tate received the F.A.
