Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Perry C. Grant's research focuses on the development and characterization of semiconductor materials, particularly Germanium-Tin (GeSn) alloys, for optoelectronic applications. His work investigates the growth of high-quality GeSn materials, including strain relaxation and composition gradient engineering, to enable low-defect alloy growth. Grant has published on Si-based GeSn photodetectors for mid-infrared imaging and Si-based GeSn lasers operating at specific wavelength ranges and temperatures. His publications also explore device performance, such as high-performance GeSn photodiodes for shortwave infrared imaging and group-IV quantum well lasers on silicon. Additionally, Grant has contributed to understanding fundamental semiconductor physics, including the utility of Shockley-Read-Hall analysis for extracting defect properties from minority carrier lifetime data and recombination rate analysis in mid-wave infrared superlattices. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 16, with 70 total publications and 1,210 citations. He has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Wei Du, Steven Akwabli, Sylvester Amoah, and Justin Rudie.
