Kyla Rutherford
Student (Honours), RMIT
Kyla was an Honours student at RMIT University worked with CI Jared Cole to understand transport properties in two-dimensional electron gases, a key part of the research at FLEET. Semiconductor superlattices allow the modification of the electronic band structure of a 2D electron gas through periodic patterning, which is a potential method for realising topological effects. Kyla’s project investigated a way of computationally modelling superlattices within 2D electron gases to understand the role of the superlattice parameters, disorder and other device parameters. This work was within FLEET Research theme 1, Topological materials.
