Congratulations to fourth-year PGR Dean Patient, whose paper ‘Toward efficient and tailorable mid-infrared emitters utilizing multilayer graphene’ was recently published in Applied Physics Letters. Dean summarises the paper’s findings: In this work, we experimentally fabricate devices consisting of multi-layer graphene with an incorporated back-reflector. The resultant devices have a roughly 4-fold increase in emission compared […]

New Publication: Tailoring the spectral properties of layered chiral mid-infrared metamaterials
Congratulations to final year PGR Hannah Barnard, whose paper ‘Tailoring the spectral properties of layered chiral mid-infrared metamaterials‘ was published in Applied Physics Letters last month. Hannah explains the significance of the paper’s findings: Metamaterials, an important class of man-made material in which metals are patterned into periodic, subwavelength structures, can be designed for a […]
New Publication: Calcium-stannous oxide solid solutions for solar devices
Congratulations to final year PGR Ned Taylor, who is lead author of ‘Calcium-stannous oxide solid solutions for solar devices’, published in Applied Physics Letters last week. Ned gives a short summary of his work: In this work, the potential of calcium-doped stannous oxide is explored for its potential as an active layer in an all-oxide solar […]
New Publication: Controlling acoustic waves using magneto-elastic Fano resonances
First year PGR Oliver Latcham has just co-authored his first paper, ‘Controlling acoustic waves using magneto-elastic Fano resonances’, published last week in Applied Physics Letters. This is an impressive achievement at the start of his degree. His PhD project is ‘Excitation of spin waves in magnetic elements using surface acoustic waves’, supervised by Volodymyr Kruglyak, Geoff […]
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, […]
