Schofield Research Group - Atomic Frontiers in Quantum Nanoscience

Exploring the atomic frontier in semiconductors and 2D materials. Pioneering quantum innovations through advanced nanoscale experiments and simulation.

Our research group is at the forefront of quantum nanotechnology. We specialise in the detailed investigation of atomic and nanoscale structures within semiconductors and two-dimensional materials. We utilise a range of cutting-edge surface analytical techniques in real and reciprocal space, coupled with simulation methods. Our aim is to unravel the complex behaviors and properties of these materials. This approach not only aids in understanding fundamental aspects of condensed matter physics but also paves the way for groundbreaking advancements in classical and quantum information processing. Through this work, we are defining new frontiers in the field of quantum nanotechnology, driving innovation at the edge of atomic-scale science.
