Research
The Lattice Lab specializes in synthesizing III-V semiconductors and engineering their optical and structural properties. In particular, we seek to improve the performance of (opto)electronic devices like lasers, photodetectors, solar cells, and light emitting diodes spanning mid-infrared to visible wavelengths. Applications for our materials and devices range from data communications and sensing to integrated photonics and quantum information processing.
Our lofty ambition is to integrate dissimilar materials and grow anything on anything with a particular interest in nonconventional growth techniques, highly mismatched alloys, and selective area growth.
Facilities
We primarily use molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow III-V semiconductors for (opto)electronic devices at the Tufts Epitaxial Core Facility.
We fabricate templates pre-growth and devices post-growth at the Center for Nanoscale Systems and Fab.nano.
Group Openings
We have openings at all levels for highly motivated undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdocs! Prospective researchers with an interest in joining the group are encouraged to reach out to Prof. Corey White directly.
