Curry's group works on advanced electronic materials with emphasis on quantum technology applications. Research directions: (1) Single-ion implantation and detection — using P-NAME (Manchester's unique instrument for ion implantation at 20 nm accuracy) to deterministically place single rare-earth ions (Er3+, Pr3+) in photonic substrates for quantum memory and sensing; (2) Er:Si and Er:SiO2 photonics — developing silicon-compatible Er-doped waveguides and cavities emitting at 1.5 µm for quantum network interfaces; (3) Colloidal quantum dots for sensing — photon-number-resolved detection using InAs QDs; (4) Ion beam technologies — SIMS and focused ion beam for quantum material characterization and fabrication. Access to P-NAME facility is unique in UK.
