Summary on Grant Application Form
I propose a research programme aimed at understanding the nature of the N-induced electronic states in InGaAsN-based heterostructures by using complementary magneto-optical and magneto-transport techniques. In order to develop this research, the applicant proposes to set-up a laboratory for optical and transport experiments (low-temperature photoluminescence, electroluminescence, photocurrent and sensitive electrical measurements) in high magnetic field, B (B up to 16 T). This may open up a wide range of possibilities for a comprehensive understanding of the electrical and optical properties of this new class of materials.This project will focus on fundamental physics, but will be relevant for device applications, including the fabrication of long-wavelength optoelectronic devices, such as photodetectors and light-emitting diodes. Also, although this research proposal is focussed on dilute nitrides, the further development of optical facilities in the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Nottingham represents a further opportunity to develop new lines of research, which will complement existing strength in transport measurements.
