Funded Activity Summary
Punching holes in GaAs: a novel route to making artificial graphene and topological insulators. In the past seven years there has been an explosion of interest in materials such as graphene and topological insulators due to their unique electronic properties, culminating in the award of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. However these materials face significant challenges that limit how we can manipulate them and use them in industry. This project will overcome these challenges by developing artificial graphene and topological insulators made using existing nanofabrication techniques on conventional semiconductors already used by industry. This will make it possible to study the unique electronic properties of these materials with unprecedented control, with the ultimate aim of using artificially designed electronic materials in industry.Funded Activity Details
