Kinetics of electron-phonon scattering in silicon resolved by Rydberg transitions of donors
Nils Dessmann, Aidan G. McConnell, Sergey G. Pavlov +6
Rydberg states of atoms in vacuum are now well recognized as a resource for quantum technologies. Donors in semiconductors also display analogous states, which have been proposed f…
Rapid high-temperature initialisation and readout of spins in silicon with 10 THz photons
Aidan G. McConnell, Nils Dessmann, Wojciech Adamczyk +6
Each cycle of a quantum computation requires a quantum state initialisation. For semiconductor-based quantum platforms, initialisation is typically performed via slow microwave pro…
Strong electron-electron interactions in a dilute weakly-localized metal near a metal-to-insulator transition
Nicolò D'Anna, Jamie Bragg, Aidan G. McConnell +12
Because it is easily switched from insulator to metal either via chemical doping or electrical gating, silicon is at the core of modern information technology and remains a candida…
Element-specific, non-destructive profiling of layered heterostructures
Nicolò D'Anna, Jamie Bragg, Elizabeth Skoropata +16
Fabrication of semiconductor heterostructures is now so precise that metrology has become a key challenge for progress in science and applications. It is now relatively straightfor…
