The Microphysics Laboratory (MPL) serves as a focal point for developing semiconductor materials growth by molecular beam epitaxy. MPL, in collaboration with the UIC Interface Physics Group, conducts basic and applied research for technological advances in the area of semiconductor materials and devices. The joint effort with the interface group creates a seamless, synergistic cooperative work environment for our students, research fellows and faculty members to study and identify a problem and find specific solutions.
The Microphysics Lab is very serious in establishing research programs with institutions outside of UIC. MPL is dedicated to serve the scientific community, and in particular provide quality research and development to the various government agencies and laboratories. The MPL's external collaborators include a wide variety of universities, corporations and military laboratories.
