Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The Heriot-Watt MBE group is currently the only group in the UK growing II-VI semiconductors. These include materials such as MgS, which is produced in only one other laboratory, and MnS and CrS, which are currently made nowhere else. MgS in particular is a material with an interesting set of properties which mean that it has attracted interest from several other research groups.We can produce enough material to satisfy our current needs, but have no capacity to supply other groups or develop collaborations. This proposal aims to remedy that by replacing a growth chamber on the MBE system that is obsolete by a new one and upgrading some of the equipment on the system. At the same time, it will be convenient to make minor repairs to the sample transport mechanism. The result of these improvements will be that Heriot Watt will have two fully functioning growth chambers capable of producing more material and a wider range of structures than is currently possible.
