The research activities of our group (Optical Spectroscopy of Nanostructured Materials laboratory) focus on the electronic  properties of nanostructured semiconductor materials either spontaneously formed or artificially created.
To this end, we employ optical spectroscopy techniques based on photoluminescence (PL) and its variants (PL excitation, PL under magnetic field and other external perturbations), Raman scattering, and second order photon-correlation techniques. Post-growth hydrogen irradiation is also employed as a powerful tool to fine tune the material electronic properties.
