Danial Shafizadeh, Department of physics, chemistry and biology (IFM), defends his doctoral thesis "Colour centres in silicon carbide for quantum technologies". Opponent is Professor Vladimir Dyakonov, University of Würzburg. 

Our division develops and investigates materials for novel electronics with the main focus on silicon carbide, III-nitrides and graphene.

By introducing defects into the perfect surface of graphene on silicon carbide, researchers at LiU have increased the capacity of the material to store electrical charge. The finding stimulates ideas on how this ultrathin material might be used.

Vanya Darakchieva and Per Persson, both at IFM, Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology, each receive 15 million from SSF for the expansion of research infrastructure at LiU.

Our research focuses on the development of novel semiconductor materials for high-frequency and power electronics.

Low-frequency light reveals internal structures and properties in all conceivable materials. A research team at LiU has built a one-of-a-kind spectrometer that analyses samples with electromagnetic waves in the terahertz range.

Research into white LEDs made from silicon carbide is gaining fresh impetus. It was the Technical University of Denmark who acquired funding for the initiative that they are running in collaboration with LiU researcher Mikael Syväjärvi and others.

We are strengthening our role in the development of solid-state quantum systems, such as optical active spin quantum bits, quantum memories and registers.

The sublimation materials unit focuses on exploring silicon carbide semiconductors, graphene, other low-dimensional materials, and their energy and environmental applications.

LiU alumnus and doctoral student Ivan Martinovic swapped Swedish winter for a warmer climate and headed for Silicon Valley.  He represents the LEAD company Polar Light Technologies in Berkeley SkyDeck’s sought-after accelerator programme.
