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 […]
