Among ultrawide bandgap semiconductors, beta-Ga2O3 is particularly promising for high power and frequency applications. For devices, n-type concentrations above 10^19 cm^-3 are required. Ge is a promising alternative n-type dopant with an…

Quantum confined Au nanoclusters exhibit molecule-like properties, including atomic precision and discrete energy levels. The electrical conductivity of Au nanocluster films can vary by several orders of magnitude, and is determined by the…

Spin-charge interconversion (SCI) phenomena have attracted a growing interest in the field of spintronics as means to detect spin currents or manipulate the magnetization of ferromagnets. The key ingredients to exploit these assets are a…

Strained coherent heteroepitaxy of III-V semiconductor films such as In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As/GaAs has potential for electronic and optoelectronic applications such as high density logic, quantum computing architectures, laser diodes, and other…

Bi alloying is predicted to transform GaAs from a semiconductor to a topological insulator or semi-metal. To date, studies of the GaAs$_{1-x}$Bi$_x$ alloy band structure have been limited, and the origins of Bi-induced enhancement of the…

We report an experimental study of quench condensed ($2K\le T \le 15K$) disordered ultrathin films of {\rm Bi} where localisation effects and superconductivity compete. Experiments are done with different substrates and/or different…

The electrical conductance of molecular beam epitaxial Bi on BaF2(111) was measured as a function of both film thickness (4-540 nm) and temperature (5-300 K). Unlike bulk Bi as a prototype semimetal, the Bi thin films up to 90 nm are found…

Interconnect materials with ultralow dielectric constant, and good thermal and mechanical properties are crucial for the further miniaturization of electronic devices. Recently, it has been demonstrated that ultrathin amorphous boron…

Ni-doped Cd1-xMnxS (x=0.4) thin films were prepared via a cost-effective chemical bath deposition (CBD) method to investigate their suitability for optoelectronic applications. Incorporation of a secondary transition metal such as Ni is…

We report on results of nonequilibrium transport measurements made on thin films of germanium-telluride (Ge_xTe) at cryogenic temperatures. Owing to a rather large deviation from stoichiometry (app. 10% of Ge vacancies), these films exhibit…

Thermoelectric (TE) materials achieve localised conversion between thermal and electric energies, and the conversion efficiency is determined by a figure of merit zT. Up to date, two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) related TE materials hold…

Electronic and transport properties of CuGaTe$_2$, a hole-doped ternary copper based chalcopyrite type semiconductor, are studied using calculations within the Density Functional Theory and solving the Boltzmann transport equation within…

Large-area thin films of topological Dirac semimetal Na$_3$Bi are grown on amorphous SiO$_2$:Si substrates to realise a field-effect transistor with the doped Si acting as back gate. As-grown films show charge carrier mobilities exceeding…

The steady state photoconductivity as a function of temperature and light intensity was measured on plasma deposited highly crystalline undoped hydrogenated microcrystalline silicon films possessing different thicknesses and…

Superconducting resonators used in millimeter-submillimeter astronomy would greatly benefit from deposited dielectrics with a small dielectric loss. We deposited hydrogenated amorphous silicon films using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor…

Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) structures containing 74Ge nanocrystals (NC-Ge) imbedded inside the SiO_2 layer were studied for their capacitance characterization. Ge atoms were introduced by implantation of 74Ge+ ions with energy of 150…

Experimental and theoretical studies of spectral properties of chalcogenide Ge-S and As-Ge-S glasses and fibers are performed. A broad infrared (IR) luminescence band which covers the 1.2-2.3~$\mu$m range with a lifetime about 6~$\mu$s is…

Metal mixed polymers are a cheap and effective way to produce flexible metals and superconductors. As part of an on-going effort to learn how to tune the properties of these systems with ion implantation, we present a study of the…

Silicon nanocrystals (Si NCs) have shown great promise for electroluminescent and photoluminescent applications. In order to optimize the properties of Si NC devices, however, electronic transport in Si NCs films needs to be thoroughly…
