The Cardiff Astronomy Instrumentation Group (AIG) is one of the world leaders in Kinetic Inductance Detector (KID) development. These superconducting detectors are the most promising technology for the next generation of millimeter – THz wave detectors.
We investigate the magnetic spin dynamics of bulk systems as quantum effects start to become relevant at low temperature. We do this by looking at spin relaxation using a variety of experimental probes.
We investigate the quantum properties of devices made from superconducting diamond. Diamond has obvious industrial uses because of its inherent hardness, but we are interested in exploiting its properties when it is doped with Boron.
EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training, The Scottish Doctoral Training Centre for Condensed Matter Physics Doctoral Training Centres • About Doctoral Training Centres • Related Centres The Scottish Doctoral Training Centre for Condensed Matter Physics 10+ PhD places available - starting September 2012 Condensed Matter Physics Overview Dynamic tri-university Doctoral Training Centre.
The study of mesoscopic semiconductor devices, where electrons are confined into submicron-sized dots and wires, has been extremely fruitful over the past 25 years.
Superfluid 3He is one of the most exciting and rich condensed matter systems we know. Over the past thirty years its intellectual impact has been felt in areas as diverse as unconventional superconductivity, cosmology and turbulence.
Centre for Doctoral Training in Delivering Quantum Technologies Centre for Doctoral Training in Delivering Quantum Technologies A new PhD programme in quantum technology A Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) is a new way to do a PhD - a 4-year programme comprising specialised training and research leading to a PhD in a cohort of around 12 students each year.
A PhD studentship is available in the Quantum Devices group to measure, control and read out electron spin qubits defined in carbon nanotube quantum dots.
