Beijing, 20th October 2023 (BISTU)--- Upon invitation of MOE Key Laboratory of Photo Electronic Measurement and Testing Technology and Instrument, Prof. Karl Eberl, a globally renowned expert in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), visited BISTU Jiuxianqiao Campus for academic exchange and exploring cooperation in academic research and talent cultivation.  

In “Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) Growth and Applications”, Prof. Karl Eberl explored growing process, heterostructures, altered zone, etc. of GaAs/AlGaAs/GaInAs molecular beam with an introduction to formation of quantum dot of self-assembly and its academic potential in the field of quantum dot diode. Heated discussions were conducted among audiences on methods of perpendicular aligning of molecular beam epitaxy in materials of quantum dot lasers, key parameters for growing III-V type materials, high-effectiveness and high-purity synthesis of heterostructures, etc.  

Accompanied by Prof. Zhu Lianqing, Prof. Karl Eberl visited Jiuxianqiao Lab and communicated with students. Following the introduction to the lab in research orientation, research fields, and current progress, he produced positive comments on the contributions of the Lab’s achievements to the development of fundamental research and frontier research. Prof. Karl Eberl also shared his research experiences with young backbone researchers of the Lab and provided guidance with some specific experiment procedures, which benefited students a lot.  

The seminar was attended by Director Zhu Lianqing of MOE Key Laboratory of Photo Electronic Measurement and Testing Technology and Instrument, Dean Dong Mingli of BISTU School of Instrumentation Science and Opto-electronics Engineering, and over a hundred young faculties and postgraduate students. The academic exchange offered a valuable opportunity for faculties and students, broadened their global horizon, motivated their innovative awareness, and enhanced global cooperation. It will spur the interest of students in MBE and promote technological innovation of MBE in the Lab.
