Scottish Universities Physics Alliance Condensed-matter & materials physics superconductors, cryo-STM, semiconductors, quantum matter, topological insulators, magnetics, spintronics, spin-ice, TEM, SEM, correlated electrons, ferroelectrics, quantum info. CMMP PHOTONICS light-matter interaction, quantum photonics ENERGY/PHOTONICS photovoltaics, solid-state lighting, fuel cells PaLS soft condensed-matter ~ 50 academics, ~ 40 post-docs, ~ 100 PhD students ~ £25M new funding 2009 – 2011 (EPSRC, Royal Society) ~ 300 publications

Scottish Universities Physics Alliance CMMP overview StA & Edi: atomic resolution spectroscopy –Correlated electrons: heavy fermion state, quantum criticality, topological insulators etc.... –‘Visualizing novel electronic matter’ –Soft-condensed matter HWU: solid-state at single quantum level –quantum information science, mesoscopic physics, solid-state quantum optics Gla/Str: Characterization + novel materials –SuperSTEM, MagTEM, SEM based techniques, –magnetic ions/spintronics in wide-band-gap hosts, ferroelectrics and nanoparticles, solid-state lighting, photovoltaics CM - DTC

Scottish Universities Physics Alliance CMMP Strategy Sub-theme 1: Quantum matter & technologies Grand challenges: 1. Understanding & “taming” solid-state quantum decoherence quantum decoherence 2. Achieving scalability 2. Achieving scalability –Strategy 1: coherence in correlated electron systems Topological protection and non-equilibrium states (Mackenzie et al, St. Andrews & Huxley, Edinburgh) Novel ground states in thin-film artificial materials (Lee, St. A) ~ £10M funding over the next 5 years –Strategy 2: coherence in solid-state “atomic-like” systems Quantum optics with single spins in quantum dots (Gerardot, HWU) Integrated quantum optical circuits (Hadfield, HWU) ~ £4M funding over the next 5 years

Scottish Universities Physics Alliance CMMP Strategy Sub-theme 2: Novel materials physics and characterization tools Grand 1. rapid & reliable defect identification Grand 1. rapid & reliable defect identification Challenges: 2. improved spatial & temporal resolution 3. 3D reconstruction of atomic/nano structures 3. 3D reconstruction of atomic/nano structures Strategy 1 (Strathclyde): Produce step-change in electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and electron channelling contrast (ECCI). Integrate / apply advances to III-nitride films. Strategy 2 (Glasgow): Further develop and apply world-leading electron microscopy tools for static & dynamic high-res imaging. Apply to thin-films fabricated in-house establish international leadership in Functional and Ferroic Materials.
