MPL is very proud of its members of the technical staff. The members of the technical staff includes professors, research staff, guest researchers and other technical members. MPL is one of the key laboratory under the physics department at the university of Illinois at Chicago. This lab attracts many undergraduate and graduate students from around the world and also from other UIC undergraduate programs. The graduate and udergraduate students at MPL completes the MPL's members of the technical staff.

        The Microphysics Laboratory (MPL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago has pioneered device technology based on the semiconductor mercury cadmium telluride (MCT). Indeed, it has maintained the leadership role in this field for the past eighteen years. The significance of these achievements, which are in part due to several ground breaking inventions, is easily seen by looking at the global importance of MCT technology. On a global investment scale, MCT is the third most important semiconductor, ranking after only silicon and gallium arsenide. MCT is the most widely used material for the fabrication of infrared detector arrays. These arrays have a variety of applications in many fields, which include medicine, astronomy, satellite-based weather forecasting, exploration of natural resources, and night vision applications for civilian and military purposes.

Our staff are engaged in state-of-the-art research in semiconducting materials. We acquired two major programs from the Army Research Laboratory

• A Cooperative Technology Alliance program - ARL
• A Multiple University Research Initiative - ARO
