The group's work is largely experimental and focusses on electronic materials for a range of applications including photovoltaics, batteries, optoelectronics, power electronics, and modulation of terahertz radiation. We are interested in the materials science of defects in the bulk of crystalline materials and in controlling the properties of surfaces as the nanoscale. Materials of current interest include silicon, germanium, silicon carbide, and 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (particularly MoS2).
Dr Nick Grant won a prize as one of the Top 10 Submissions at SiliconPV 2025, for his contribution entitled "A Non-Destructive Method to Measure the Bulk Lifetime in High Quality Silicon Wafers". Well…
