Semiconductor optoelectronics - SPV

SHORT DESCRIPTION 

It is a laboratory where research and teaching activities are carried out (degree in Physics, master's degree in Physics, PhD in Physics) aimed in particular at three-year and master's degree students and doctoral students. Surface spectroscopy and optical absorption measurements are carried out in the visible and NIR range. 

In the laboratory there are: QTH and Xenon lamps, a monochromator, a lock-in amplifier, a computer, data acquisition cards, optical and electronic components (filters, pre-amplifiers etc..). 

RESEARCH THEMES  

• Study of optical properties of solids, optical spectra, surface photo voltage spectra 
• Surface recombination phenomena and interfaces in III-N semiconductors, and quantum structures 
• Surface spectroscopy of perovskites thin films 

INSTRUMENTATION 

• Xe and QTH lamps, and the relative ballasts 
• SPEX 500M monochromator 
• Stanford Research System Lock-in Amplifier 

TEACHING AND TRAINING

The SPV laboratory offers its resources to support: 

• Development of degree thesis (L in physics, LM in Physics, MANO curriculum) 
• Development of research projects for PhD students and postdoctoral students
