Dr. Marco Califano

The focus of my research is on computational modelling of semiconductor nanostructures. The main project I'm involved in at the moment concerns the theory and design of p-SiGe THz quantum cascade lasers.

Dr. Zoran Ikonic

Dr. Leon Lever

Craig Evans

My research focuses on the carrier and thermal dynamics inside quantum cascade laser structures, in the near- to the far-infrared (THz) wavelength range.

Students

Alexander Valavanis

n-type Silicon/ Silicon Germanium Quantum Cascade Lasers.

Excellent results have been obtained from Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) made from III-V semiconductors. A QCL in the Si/SiGe material system presents many advantages including a cost reduction and the possibility of an optical system on a single chip.

Clive Vallance

Research intrests focuse upon inter-band quantum dot lasers for high speed communication links. In collaboration with Filtronic plc and Sheffield University, I work on the design and simulation of quantum dot lasers with specific reference to their dynamic properties.

Pairot Moontragoon

My research focuse is on the electronic properties of SiGeSn alloys using first principles
