Welcome!
We are a new research "group" belonging to the greater Nanoscience Group in the Department of Physics, University of Bath. Please do not hesistate in contacting me if you are interested in joining, or interested in any way, in any part of our work.

What we do:
We do physics experiments using silicon, exploiting its special properties and technological advantages and in so doing, find out more about its properties and what you can do with it both in terms of new physics experiments and applications. While maintaining a focus on transport in silicon, we will also seek to apply silicon physics and technology to other fields, near or far. We are also interested in a number of things completely unrelated to silicon - more details will be added in due course.

Who we are:
Principal Investigator: Dr Kei Takashina
PhD Student (Yr.2): Mr David Tregurtha
MPhys Project Student: Mr Thomas Wigington
Bsc (Physics) Project Student: Mr Richard Still
Bsc (Natural Sciences) Project Student: Mr Alex Grounds

Main collaborators:
Nanodevices Research Group (Group Leader: Dr. Akira Fujiwara),
NTT Basic Research Laboratories, NTT Corporation (Japan)
Prof. Yoshiro Hirayama, Mr Yoshitaka Niida,
