Our division develops and investigates materials for novel electronics with the main focus on silicon carbide, III-nitrides and graphene.

Our research focuses on the development of novel semiconductor materials for high-frequency and power electronics.

Hydrogen produced from water is a promising renewable energy source 鈥� especially if the hydrogen is produced using sunlight. Now LiU researchers show that a combination of new materials improves the efficiency of the chemical reaction several times.

By introducing defects into the perfect surface of graphene on silicon carbide, researchers at LiU have increased the capacity of the material to store electrical charge. The finding stimulates ideas on how this ultrathin material might be used.

Low-frequency light reveals internal structures and properties in all conceivable materials. A research team at LiU has built a one-of-a-kind spectrometer that analyses samples with electromagnetic waves in the terahertz range.

We are strengthening our role in the development of solid-state quantum systems, such as optical active spin quantum bits, quantum memories and registers.

The sublimation materials unit focuses on exploring silicon carbide semiconductors, graphene, other low-dimensional materials, and their energy and environmental applications.

LiU alumnus and doctoral student Ivan Martinovic swapped Swedish winter for a warmer climate and headed for Silicon Valley.  He represents the LEAD company Polar Light Technologies in Berkeley SkyDeck鈥檚 sought-after accelerator programme.

One prospective source of renewable energy is hydrogen gas produced from water with the aid of sunlight. LiU researchers have developed a material that exhibits promising properties to capture solar energy and split water for hydrogen gas production.

In 2022 the research program approved its first ever PhD and Postdoc projects. Out of the 18 approved projects from LiU, nine came from IFM.
