معرفی
Professor Manus Hayne is a leading figure in semiconductor physics at Lancaster University's Department of Physics, with a focus on low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures (quantum wells, wires, and dots) and their applications in novel electronic and photonic devices. He collaborates extensively with UK and European institutions, including KU Leuven and University of Exeter.
- Developed ULTRARAM™, a patented compound semiconductor memory combining DRAM speed with flash non-volatility
- Explored GaSb quantum rings for telecom-wavelength single-photon LEDs and VCSELs
Career Path:
- University of Southampton (BSc)
- University of Exeter (PhD, Postdoc)
- Research in Paris and KU Leuven (10 years, high magnetic field studies)
- Joined Lancaster University Physics Department in 2006
Research Trends from 15+ years of publications show expertise in:
- Quantum dot/wire/ring physics
- High-magnetic-field semiconductor studies
- III-V compound semiconductor devices
- Optoelectronic and memory device development
- Advanced nanofabrication techniques
- Photoelectrochemical applications
Supervision: Currently advising 6 postgraduate students including Gizem Acar, Kacper Burczyk, and George Seager. Projects focus on III-V memory devices and eye-safe VCSELs.
Labs & Collaborations: Active in Quantum Technology Centre and Energy Lancaster, with industry partnerships through spinout Quinas and participation in International Semiconductor Researchers Forum.
