Theses

Wouter Peeters

Epitaxy of hexagonal SiGe heterostructures
PhD defense: 25 feb 2025, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven
Promoter: prof. dr. Erik Bakkers
Co-promoter: dr. Marcel A. Verheijen

Silicon-germanium (SiGe) is the backbone of modern electronics—but in its usual cubic form, it cannot emit light efficiently. Wouter Peeters’ PhD research shows how growing SiGe in a rare hexagonal structure unlocks light emission, paving the way for silicon-based lasers. His work demonstrates key steps toward integrating energy-efficient light sources directly onto computer chips, with exciting prospects for faster data communication and advanced sensing.

Mathijs Mientjes

Growth and characterization of Pb1−xSnxTe nanocrystals for topological quantum devices
PhD defense: 22 may 2025, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven
Promoter: prof. dr. Erik Bakkers
Co-promoter: dr. Marcel A. Verheijen

Topological materials could provide the stable building blocks needed for future quantum computers. In his PhD research, Mathijs Mientjes studied how to grow and control nanostructures of PbSnTe, a promising topological crystalline insulator. He demonstrated new growth methods, observed quantum effects that signal topological behavior, and developed models to better understand crystal formation. His findings bring us closer to quantum devices where qubits are naturally protected from disturbances
