Luke Antwis

Dr Luke Antwis is a Researcher in the Ion Beam Processing group at the University of Surrey. His work spans advanced ion beam techniques for quantum computing, nuclear physics, and photovoltaic applications. He supervises postgraduate researchers and contributes to the development of ion beam technologies at the Surrey Ion Beam Centre.

• BSc (Hons), PhD in Physics
• Member of the Institute of Physics (MInstP)
• Member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (MIET)

His research focuses on isotopically pure silicon layers for quantum computers, muonic x-ray spectroscopy for nuclear charge radii measurements, and ion beam optimization for photovoltaic materials. Technical challenges addressed include ultra-low energy implantation contamination, vacuum system design, and semiconductor heterojunction characterization.

The article trends highlight his interdisciplinary work bridging nuclear physics (muonic spectroscopy) and semiconductor engineering (black silicon emitters). He emphasizes precision in ion beam targeting and vacuum integrity solutions for analytical equipment.

Dr Antwis supervises postgraduate researchers like J. Bird (decelerated ion beams) and M. Ludlow (single ion implantation capabilities). He is affiliated with the Surrey Ion Beam Centre, advancing ion beam analysis and processing for academic and industrial applications.
