MBE: Quantum nanostructures for optoelectronics


The group is a well consolidated and internationally recognized team. It has pioneered several breakthrough developments in the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of semiconductors and related techniques. Being active along the last 25 years in the field of optoelectronics, our laboratories are equipped with state of the art characterization and nano-fabrication facilities and are continuously updated with research tools to be able to keep at the forefront of the rapid evolution of optoelectronics and laser technology. Research lines are well positioned in the main topics defined at Horizone Europe and Spanish research plans. The group is active in transferring its results to society as evidenced by the recent participation of group members as founding partners in the creation of 2 spin-offs: Future Voltaics S.L. (2020) and G2Zero S.L. (2022). Both companies have obtained funding in the demanding NEOTEC program of the CDTI.
