Abstract: We introduce infinite families of perfect nonlinear Dembowski-Ostrom multinomials over $F_{p^{2k}}$ where $p$ is any odd prime. We prove that for $k$ odd and $p\ne3$ these PN functions define new commutative semifields (in part by studying the nuclei of these semifields). This implies that these functions are CCZ-inequivalent to all previously known PN mappings.
