Mr Luke Fleet
Research Interests
Luke Fleet joined the Quantum Nanoelectronics group as a PhD student in April 2009. He received his MPhys in Physics at the University of York in 2008. As an undergraduate, his MPhys project An experiment of the Purcell effect in a wedge cavity was published in the European Journal of Physics special feature on nanotechnology. He presented his research as part of an Italian/UK Network, supported by the British Council, at the LENS European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy.His present research interest is the fabrication of an efficient spin voltage/current generation in a ferromagnet/semiconductor lateral spin-valve. He is currently funded by the EPSRC and the JST as part of a joint UK-Japan co-operative program, in collaboration with Tohoku University. Under the supervision of Dr Hirohata and Prof O'Grady, he will fabricate a lateral spin transistor based on the knowledge on semiconductor and metal spintronics in Tohoku University and the University of York, respectively.
