About the project
The project was divided into three work packages:
1. WP1 will focus on a Single-Photon Source. Andrej Kuznetsov and Augustinas Galeckas are in charge of this work package. Marianne Etzelmüller Bathen did her PhD within WP1.
2. WP2 will focus on Doping asymmetry and defects in oxide semiconductors. Clas Persson is the work package leader, and Ymir Kalmann Frodason did his PhD within WP2.
3. WP3 will focus on Dependence of defect properties on nanostructure (crystal) size. This work package is led by Lasse Vines, and two postdocs worked within the work package spesifically - Geraldo Cristian Vasquez and Robert Karsthof.
In addition to the personell working spesifically within a given work package FUNDAMeNT also employs several post doctoral fellows that work broadly across all the work packages. These postdocs are Kalliopi Bazioti, Olekandr Malyi and Konstantina Iordanidou. Thomas Aarholt also participates to this activity in a researcher capacity.
Objectives
The overall objectives of the FUNDAMeNT project:
- Design and control of electrical properties of oxide semiconductors based on fundamental insight in ruling defects/complexes
- Manipulate and explot point defects in SiC for spintronics
- Identify defects in nanocrystals and determine their electrical properties as a function of nanocrystal size
- Developing new methodologies to monitor and identify defects
Further, one strategic aim of FUNDAMeNT is to improve the track record of
all the involved staff, and consolidate the group as an internationally leading group in advanced semiconductors and defect physics.
