Mian Zahid Hussain at ICS Winter School 2019
Recently, third year CDT postgraduate researcher Mian Zahid Hussain secured a grant from Italian Chemical Society (ICS) to participate in a winter school on Catalysis which took place at Bardonecchia, Italy from 7-11 January 2019. The focus of the winter school was to provide a detailed picture of the current scientific challenges to the catalysis […]
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 […]
New Publication: Realising an ultra-wideband backward-wave metamaterial waveguide
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 […]
