Summary on Grant Application Form |

We seek funds for a named postdoctoral research worker to perform much needed microstructural characterisation of a specified setof III-V functional device structures, to underpin a range of on-going EPSRC and European research, programmes at Nottingham. Thedominant theme is the application of microanalytical assessment techniques to investigate the critical Materials issues within spintronicheterostructures based on the (Ga,Mn)N, (Ga,Mn)As and (Ga,Mn)P dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMS) as a function of growth anddevice processing. This will lead to the development of novel Mn 8-doped and acceptor co-doped DMS alloys for room temperatureferromagnetic devices, with interface integrity, alloy uniformity, and contacts to p-type doped layers being the focus of attention. Theapproach is to combine our expertise in the areas of epitaxial growth, device processing and materials characterisation to resolve thelimiting problems for the future development of this technology. This approach will be similarly applied to the development of Ga(N,As)photonic and (AI,Ga)N/GaN electronic device structures.
