Cyril Salang’s research generally aims to use molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique to realize Group III-V semiconductor heterostructures for various optoelectronic applications. She collaborates with the Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory of the National Institute of Physics to study the properties of semiconductors using X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence, and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Her students will investigate the epitaxial growth of Ge-based and InGaAs-based buffer structures. She is also working with her student in using a computational method to explain the terahertz emission mechanism in semiconductor heterostructures.

To diversify her research, Cyril Salang is exploring two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with her students and new collaborators. Her project aims to construct a photodetector using graphene and molybdenum disulfide obtained using an efficient mechanical exfoliation technique, and to characterize the photoresponse of the device. Moreover, her research team delves into the physics in the lattice vibrations of these 2D layers as shown in the Raman spectra.

During her master in physics at the University of the Philippines, Cyril Salang investigated the surfaces and interfaces of extremely lattice-mismatched GaAs/GaSb. For her PhD in physics, she approached the MBE issues in GaAs/GaSb by employing a growth interruption technique, realized strong terahertz emitters based on p-InAs/GaSb thin films, and studied the properties of these terahertz emitters using THz-TDS.

My ORCID
As a child I dreamed that someday I would waft in space as an astronaut or study blackholes as an astrophysicist. Now after more than a decade, I find myself in the lab studying solid-state and semiconductor crystals grown under ultra-high vacuum. This is a different kind of vacuum space, but the physics is a delight to me. I am interested in condensed matter physics. My research is about solid-state epitaxy, semiconductor characterization, and terahertz applications. In the very near future, I hope, I would finally receive my Ph.D. degree.

I studied molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) under the auspices of Doc Arnel A. Salvador. This is how I am ``related" to the ``father of MBE":
