Subject: Colloquium: Wed 12/10/2016 "Developing semiconductor nanowires for future optoelectronics" Hannah Joyce (Cambridge)

Our colloquium next week will be given by Dr Hannah Joyce who leads the Electronic and Photonic Nanomaterials group at the Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. As usual, there will be tea/coffee after the colloquium.

Title: Developing semiconductor nanowires for future optoelectronics
Speaker: Dr Hannah Joyce, Electronic and Photonic Nanomaterials, Dept. Engineering, University of Cambridge
Time/Date: 3pm Wednesday 12th October 2016
Venue: John Anderson JA3.14

Abstract:
Semiconductor nanowires exhibit outstanding potential as nano-building blocks for the next generation of electronic devices, ranging from solar cells to nanoscale lasers. A variety of innovative fabrication techniques can be employed to "grow" these nanowires with tight control over the nanowire geometry and crystallographic properties. Electrical characterisation of these tiny nanowires can be achieved with high accuracy and high throughput without requiring any electrical contacts, using a contact-free technique known as terahertz conductivity spectroscopy. This talk will discuss how detailed nanowire growth studies together with terahertz conductivity spectroscopy are guiding the development of novel nanowire-based devices.
