I’m familiar with the Iranian work and I completely disagree. I’ve reviewed some of their work it is fair at best. I’m not suggesting established groups are the only way to go, but they tend to keep an archive of the work that has impact and cite it. That is just the jumping off point. The NTU group is a large reason for the international growth of PF devices so they are linked into most of the international groups as they have trained many students that go out and start groups such as the one in Pakistan and I know some students from Iran trained with NTU. One of the newer groups at Kansas State has a NTU alum leading the group. The spread of technology tends to come from a few groups in the beginning and spread as the students graduate and move on to their own activities. New comers certainly pop up such as the UNLV group but they also tend to focus on different applications.
