Research Interests

UG Research - Provided research opportunity for ~ 80 UG (UTA, Princeton U., Prairie View A&M, etc.) Molecular Beam Epitaxy Growth and Characterization of Engineered Semiconductor Structures at nano-Layers Scale, Semiconductor Heterostructure Lasers, Quantum Confined Stark Effect Light Modulators, Infrared Detectors and Detector Arrays Solar Cells, High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMT), Heterostructure Bipolar Junction Transistors Various structures have been grown in our MBE Laboratory and fabricated in our GaAs fabrication lab. Process technologies were developed and utilized for the fabrication of heterostructure devices and optoelectronic integration, including: mask design and fabrication, photo-lithography, mesa etching, metallization, lift-off, rapid thermal annealing and wire bonding. Devices were characterized at our facilities (except where noted below). Emphasize was on development of devices rich in concept, at the same time not too demanding to fabricate, so as to fit the mission of University research and training. Dr. Alavi has conducted research in Molecular Beam Epitaxy, IR and visible spectroscopy and 2-d Imaging, Semiconductors Superstructures, superlattices, and Quantum Well materials and device (design, growth, fabrication, and testing), including Lasers, detectors, electroasorption modulators and Spatial Light Modulators, QWIP device arrays, and 2-d VCSEL arrays. He is sole, or first or co-author of over 95 refereed scientific articles, 2 book chapters and 1 textbook. He is the recipient of 2 UTA College of Engineering awards: Halliburton Excellence in Research Award, and Lockheed-Martin Excellence in Teaching Award. He is the coauthor of 3 patents: one on Multiple Quantum Lasers, one on Multiple Quantum Electroabsorption Modulators, and one on Multliple Quantum Dot detectors.
