Congratulations to our XM² alumnus Sathya Sai Seetharaman who has recently published a paper in Physical Review B on ‘Realising an ultra-wideband backward-wave metamaterial waveguide’. The authors demonstrate, through experiment and numerical modeling, that the operational bandwidth of a CSRR metamaterial waveguide can be improved by restricting cross-polarization effects in the constituent meta-atoms. Sathya is […]

New Publication: Metamaterial-enhanced infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy
Congratulations to XM² PGR Cheng Shi (4th year) whose paper Metamaterial-enhanced infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy has been accepted by Nanoscale and is due to be published next month. Abstract below. Abstract The use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) allows solid or liquid samples to be characterised directly without specific […]
New Publication: Tunable Volatility of Ge2Sb2Te5 in Integrated Photonics
Congratulations to third year CDT PGR Emanuele Gemo , co-author of a paper, Tunable Volatility of Ge2Sb2Te5 in Integrated Photonics, which was recently published in the prestigious journal Advanced Functional Materials. His co-authors include his supervisors Dr Anna Baldycheva and Prof C David Wright. This work was led by researchers from the labs of Prof Harish Bhaskaran […]
New Publication: A Luneburg lens for spin waves
Congratulations to XM² PGR Natalie Whitehead for her publication on “A Luneburg lens for spin waves“: https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5049470 (Applied Physics Letters 113). In this article, the researchers report on the theory of a Luneburg lens for forward-volume magnetostatic spin waves and verify its operation via micromagnetic modelling. The lens converts a plane wave to a point […]
New Publication: Microwave edge modes on a metasurface with glide symmetry
Very many congratulations to 3rd year CDT PGR Julia De Pineda Gutierrez for her latest publication on Microwave edge modes on a metasurface with glide symmetry, published in the November edition of Physical Review B. Julia is supervised by Prof A P Hibbins and Prof J R Sambles (FRS). She is currently also representing the […]
New Publication: A Broadband Stripline Technique for Characterizing Relative Permittivity and Permeability
Congratulations to the XM² PGRs Cameron Gallagher and Conor McKeever for their publication on “A Broadband Stripline Technique for Characterizing Relative Permittivity and Permeability” in IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques: 10.1109/TMTT.2018.2851563 Abstract: We present a stripline design and calibration method allowing the extraction of relative permittivity of single dielectric samples in the 200-MHz-50-GHz range. […]
New Publication: From colloidal CdSe quantum dots to microscale optically anisotropic supercrystals through bottom-up self-assembly
Congratulations to XM² PGR Ben Hogan (4th year) who is co-author on an article that outlines the analysis of quantum dot self-assembly into ordered superstructures, along with the evolution of their morphological and optical properties. The work has just been published as accepted manuscript in the Journal of Materials Chemistry C: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2018/tc/c8tc04780d Abstract The development […]
New Publication: Investigation of the coupling between tunable split-ring resonator
Congratulations to XM² PGR Milo Baraclough (3rd year) who published his first paper ‘Investigation of the coupling between tunable split-ring resonators‘ in Physical Review B. This paper examines how the coupling between a passive and an active Split ring resonator changes as the active ring is tuned through the frequency of the passive ring: https://bit.ly/2JeXYbC. […]
“Seven brief lessons on Physics” – a translation into Urdu
XM2 PGR Zahid Hussain (3rd year) has committed a substantial amount of energy and time towards the translation of Carlo Rovelli’s book “Seven Brief Lessons on Physics” into Urdu, the national language of Pakistan.
