MSc(USTC), PhD (ANU)
Fellow, Research School of Physics & Engineering

Lan Fu is a Fellow in the Department of Electronic Materials Engineering, ANU Research School of Physics and Engineering.

Research interests

Her research interests are mainly focussed on compound semiconductor materials and optoelectronic/photovoltaic devices, including:

  • epitaxial growth (MOCVD), processing and characterisation of low dimensional III-V semiconductor structures such as quantum wells, quantum dots, nanowires
  • design, fabrication and characterisation of low-dimensional III-V semiconductor structure based optoelectronic/photovoltaic devices, such as lasers, photodetectors, and solar cells
  • application of various postgrowth material processing techniques (such as ion implantation) for modification and integration of optoelectronic devices
  • nanofabrication and characterisation for nanowire based optoelectronic/photovoltaic devices
