"What signal-to-noise problem could a room temperature MASER solve in your industry?" - Professor Alford MBE FREng at the World Economic Forum 2016
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
