New Publication: “Gate tunable graphene-integrated metasurface modulator for mid-infrared beam steering”
Fourth year PGR Cheng Shi has authored “Gate tunable graphene-integrated metasurface modulator for mid-infrared beam steering”, with his supervisors Isaac Luxmoore and Geoff Nash. Modulators are a key component for communication, imaging, and so on, allowing the function of device can be controlled actively. However the research on modulators in infrared regime remain challenging as […]
Impact of pump wavelength on terahertz emission of a cavity-enhanced spintronic trilayer
Congratulations to third year CDT PGR Rosamund Herapath for her recent publication of Impact of pump wavelength on terahertz emission of a cavity-enhanced spintronic trilayer in Applied Physics Letters. In this paper, the authors enhance the THz generation of a novel, thin-film THz emitter by adding a set of dielectric overlayers. In doing so, […]
New Publication: Diffraction by a truncated planar array of dipoles: A Wiener–Hopf approach
Having recently passed his viva and recently joined University of Pennsylvania in a posdoctoral role, PGR Miguel Camacho Aguilar, who graduates this summer, has just published a paper on Diffraction by a truncated planar array of dipoles: A Wiener–Hopf approach in the Special Issue on Canonical Scattering of the journal Wave Motion. Abstract We present […]
New Publication: Origins of All-Optical Generation of Plasmons in Graphene
Congratulations to fourth year CDT PGR Craig Tollerton who has recently published an article on Origins of All-Optical Generation of Plasmons in Graphene in Scientific Reports journal. Abstract below. Abstract Graphene, despite its centrosymmetric structure, is predicted to have a substantial second order nonlinearity, arising from non-local effects. However, there is disagreement between several published […]

New Publication: Laser-writable high-k dielectric for van der Waals nanoelectronics
Congratulations to second year XM² postgraduate researcher Konstantinos-Andreas Anastasiou, whose article Laser-writable high-k dielectric for van der Waals nanoelectronics has been published in Science Advances. State of the art van der Waals heterostructures rely on the use of hexagonal boron nitride as a gate dielectric, a tunnel barrier or a high-quality substrate material. The material […]
New Publication: Multi-layer graphene as a selective detector for future lung cancer biosensing platforms
Congratulations to XM² PGR Ben Hogan (4th year) who has co-authored a recently published paper on ‘Multi-layer graphene as a selective detector for future lung cancer biosensing platforms’ in the journal Nanoscale. Lung cancer is one of the most common and aggressive cancers, with mortality rates of about 1.4 million per year, worldwide. The lack […]
