John Scott

Dr. John Scott is a Researcher in the Department of Physics at The University of Sydney, based in A28 of the Physics Building. His work focuses on nanotechnology, quantum physics, and advanced materials science, with particular emphasis on nanostructure fabrication, quantum defect engineering, and ion beam applications. His research bridges fundamental physics with applied technologies, including biomedical nanoelectrodes and quantum sensors.

Key areas of exploration include nanofabrication techniques (e.g., focused ion beam processing), surface modification under plasma conditions, and the development of quantum systems using defects in materials like hexagonal boron nitride and diamond. Recent projects address challenges in high-aspect-ratio nanostructure creation, suppression of surface roughening during ion bombardment, and coherent optical control of solid-state spins.

Publications from 2022 onward highlight advancements in 3D nanotomography via fluorescence spectroscopy, defect compensation in semiconductors, and the coupling of spin defects to plasmonic resonators. His work has contributed to optics, quantum information science, and biomedical device engineering.
