Key words for expertise:
Optical and structural properties of quantum heterostructures and nanostructures, III-V semiconductor thin films, quantum wells, III-V self-assembled quantum dots, II-VI core/shell nanocrystals, nanowires, phase separation in semiconductors, time-resolved optical spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging and spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, near field scanning optical microscopy, and atomic force microscopy
 
Vision for participation in the QI center: 
We are interested in using our experience in optical studies of MBE-grown self-assembled quantum dots to fabricate and study single photon sources.
