Laboratories
We believe that there is no substitute for hands on experience, and that projects need to be focussed on modern equipment, latest techniques (experimental and modelling) and novel materials and devices. With this philosophy we have designed the following experiments (for more details click on experiment ):
Laboratory 1
This lab will explore the use of the photoluminescence technique to investigate properties of surfaces, alloy semiconductors, quantum wells and quantum mechanical tunnelling phenomena.
Laboratory 2
This laboratory involves the use of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which is widely used to image objects on the nanoscale.
Laboratory 3
The lab will help students to get familiar with low-cost solution-based material deposition techniques, practical electrical measurements on flexible polymer transistors, as well as theoretical analysis of the device performance data.
Laboratory 4
This two days laboratory is designed to familiarize the student with the use of Density Functional Theory software Materials Studio(TM).
Laboratory 5
A commercial softaware will be used to familiarize the student with concepts related to novel transistor devices
Laboratory 6
In this project students will focus on micro-structured THz quantum cascade lasers (QCLs).
