QUANTUM MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGIES

We develop materials and device solutions for semiconductor electronics, photonics, spin-based systems and quantum technologies, addressing the properties and interfaces that determine their function.

Materials, devices and spin systems

Our expertise connects semiconductor microelectronics and optoelectronics, light-emitting devices, organic and 2D field-effect transistors, magnetoelectronic memory systems and quantum information technologies. We study how composition, interfaces and architecture determine electrical, optical and spin-related behaviour.

Characterisation and modelling

Experimental characterisation and numerical modelling guide material and device development, including low-temperature operation, control and integration. We apply these capabilities to client-defined challenges and collaborative technology programmes. The projects below illustrate this approach at their respective research and development stages.
