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 […]
Ned Taylor passes his viva!
Congratulations to CDT student Ned Taylor, who has just finished his PhD. His thesis was titled ‘Ab Initio Exploration of Interface Structures and Their Properties’. Ned published five papers during his time as part of the CDT and presented at national and international conferences. He was also involved with the Metabuddies scheme- an outreach scheme led […]
Harry Penketh submits his thesis!
Congratulation to PGR Harry Penketh, who recently submitted his thesis titled ‘“Control of white light emission for illumination and imaging”. Harry discusses his project in more detail, and offers his advice for students at the start of their PhD journey: “I have submitted my thesis, although perhaps submitted to my thesis would be a more […]
David Osuna Ruiz submits his thesis!
Congratulations to David Osuna Ruiz, who has submitted the final version of his thesis, ‘Magnetisation dynamics and tuneable GHz properties of unsaturated magnetic nanostructures’ after corrections. David looks back on his experience of studying for a PhD as part of the CDT: Four years ago, I decided to move to the UK to pursue a […]
Joaquín Faneca submits his thesis!
Congratulations to final year PGR Joaquín Faneca, who has just submitted his thesis: “Tunable Silicon integrated photonics based on functional materials”. Here is Joaquín’s experience of his time with the CDT: When I started the PhD coming from another country, everything was difficult, you do not have your own language, your family, your friends, your culture, etc. […]
New Publication: Controlling collective rotational patterns of magnetic rotors
Congratulations to CDT alumnus Dr.Joshua Hamilton, whose paper Controlling collective rotational patterns of magnetic rotors has recently been published in Nature Communications. Josh works as a postdoctoral research fellow in TEAM-A at University of Exeter. A summary of the paper is below: Combining experiments, simulations, and theoretical arguments Josh Hamilton and his collaborator Daiki Matsunaga have […]
New publication: ‘A Nonvolatile Phase‐Change Metamaterial Color Display’
Congratulations to PGR Santiago Garcia-Cuevas Carrillo, who is the lead author on ‘A Nonvolatile Phase‐Change Metamaterial Color Display’, recently published in Advanced Optical Materials. Co-authors include fourth year PGR Liam Trimby and Prof. C. David Wright. Abstract Chalcogenide phase‐change materials, which exhibit a marked difference in their electrical and optical properties when in their amorphous and crystalline […]
Porous ZnO/Carbon nanocomposites derived from metal-organic frameworks for highly efficient photocatalytic applications – A correlational study
Congratulations to XM² PGR student (third year) Mian Zahid Hussain for his latest publication on “Porous ZnO/Carbon nanocomposites derived from metal-organic frameworks for highly efficient photocatalytic applications – A correlational study” in Carbon journal. Abstract below. Abstract Porous ZnO/C nanocomposites derived from 3 different Zinc based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) including MOF-5, MOF-74 and ZIF-8, were […]
