David Adler Lectureship Award in the Field of Materials Physics Talk: Sorting through messy semiconductors with first principles calculations

Invited

Abstract

Using first principles molecular dynamics and electronic structure calculations, we investigate fundamental properties of complex semiconductors and their relevance to the design of electronic and quantum information devices. In particular, we discuss assemblies of semiconducting nanoparticles used in colloidal solar cells and electronic devices, and defective semiconductors as promising hosts for spin qubits.
