Research Areas of Focus
Microscopic modelling of transport, optical, electronic, and structural properties of disordered semiconductors for medical imaging detectors. Particular topics include:
-
atomic structure of compound and amorphous semiconductors
-
defects and impurities in crystals and interaction between them
-
electronic and vibrational states in disordered solids
-
density functional theory and empirical force-field potentials
-
semiconductor surfaces: structure and energetics
-
electronic transport in disordered low-mobility semiconductors: hopping, multiple trapping, diffusion, incl. high-field effects, such as impact ionization
-
charge carriers: generation, recombination, lifetime, and trapping
-
optical properties of low-dimensional nanostructures: quantum wells and quantum dots
