MTSD - Materials and Topologies for Sensors and Devices
Materials and Topologies for Sensors and Devices (MTSD) Capabilities are focused on supporting the strategic direction of the SD center. The unit is structured into 4 research groups:
Spectroscopic solutions for quantum photonics Team
the research area starts from the still-developing know-how of the team about using confocal
Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy in materials science, providing information
about composition, electronic properties, and mechanical defects.
Gas Sensor Team
The main 5-year goal of the team is to become, for the scientific community and companies, one
of the leading research groups for gas sensor R&D, through the development and testing of
materials, sensors and devices for the characterization of gaseous atmosphere parameters.
Characterisation Team
Steady a research team able to Develop analytical methodology Research; Set up research on
new semiconductor materials (SiC – Ge on Si ); Perform analytical support service (internal and
external).
The main research line are: Analytical methodology development: SiC and Ge on Si;
– materials for Energy
Superconducting Team
The research activities of the team are focused on the development of superconducting devices,
ranging from superconducting qubits and superconducting parametric amplifiers to
Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) and cryogenic particle detectors.
