Gavin Richard Bell

I work in epitaxy, surface science and nanomaterials. I use photoemission (XPS, ARPES, synchrotron radiation), X-ray and electron diffraction, electron and scanning probe microscopy, and density functional theory to study the structure and properties of thin films and nanostructures. Current projects include: thin film half-metallic ferromagnetic materials, semiconductor/ferromagnet hybrid systems, and 2D materials (graphene, h-BN) on scalable metal foil substrates.
