Polariton devices: the future of optoelectronics

Objective

This project is aimed at training of a new generation of researchers to develop the advanced solid-state light sources based on microcavities. Microcavity- and polariton-devices are a rapidly-expanding research and technology area of major potential impact to both international and European-based science and industry. Thus potential exists to capitalise on this skill base by adding value to current national efforts through collaboration, and to recruit, inspire and enable a cadre of young research scientist s for careers in this technology.
The mobility of the Chair-holder will allow to combine the efforts of two European networks and to create a Center of Excellence in polariton physics highly attractive for the young researchers. No such a centre exists in the world at present. Its creation in Roma will definitely help competitiveness of Europe in the important area of modern Opto-electronics.
The Chair holder is going to lead a theoretical research on
1) Theory of Bose condensation of exciton-polaritons and polariton lasing,
2) Spinoptronics,
3) Photoinduced superfluidity of neutral and charged quasiparticles and train 3 PhD students funded by the Host in these three areas.
He is also going to teach the undergraduate course "Modern semiconductor optics" and the post-graduate course "Polariton devices" for the students of physics and engineering faculties of the University of Rome II and project students from "Clermont2" and "NanoQuanta" networks.
