Optical & Electronic Devices

We investigate materials for optical and electronic devices, for applications in communication, sensing, healthcare and energy, using our state-of-the-art facilities. We work closely with the London Centre for Nanotechnology and the Centre for Processable Electronics.

Our research explores:

• Room temperature MASERs based on both organic molecules and defect centres in diamond and silicon carbide
• Quantum information processing devices based on the strong coupling of spin-ensembles to microwave modes.
• Development of a Quantum Internet
• Exploiting molecular semiconductors and magnets
• 2D devices for wearable technologies
• Materials for photovoltaics and light-emitting diodes
• Investigating chiral organic semiconductors
• Investigating nanowire devices
• Microwave and terahertz devices for communication and sensing
