Quantum Device Modelling
Theory of Electron, Phonon and Spin Transport in Nanoscale Quantum Devices
Quantum Engineering of Advanced Materials and DevicesWe engineer the electrical, vibrational, magnetic and optical properties of molecular quantum devices for energy conversion, energy storage, computing and sensing applications.
Overview of Research Topics
Nanoscale material modelling and discovery i.e. Electronic, vibrational and magnetic structures; Quantum, phonon and spin transport; Environmental effects on transport e.g. biological interaction, chemical stimulus, electrochemical gating, photo effect, temperature gradient, electric and magnetic field effect
Molecular electronics i.e. Quantum and phonon interference; Energy harvesting e.g. Thermoelectricity and Piezoelectricity; Biological sensing; Transistors; Spintronic; Optoelectronics; Molecular electronic building blocks i.e. switches, transistors and rectifiers
One and two dimensional materials i.e. Single molecules and clusters; Self assembled monolayers; Van-der Waals heterostructures; 2D materials; Graphene nanojunctions; Carbon nanotubes; Molecular graphene nanoribbons
