The laser is now in place, ready for installation in the new lab space. The overhead tables and wiring are good, and we are just waiting for the laser technicians to arrive to complete the installation.

UK III-V Nanowire meeting
Patrick attended the UK III-V Nanowire meeting at Corpus Christi College, Oxford to discuss recent work in the nanowire field with colleagues from across the UK.
Discussion ranged from dot-in-wire structures, through solar photovoltaics, infrared photodetectors and chip-to-chip communications. Patrick spoke on statistical study of nanowire optoelectronic properties as a new measure for these materials.
Lab progress
The setup for the new micro pump-probe, scanning photoluminescence and photocurrent microscopy and non-linear microscopy system is progressing. The tables are installed, and gantries fixed – next for the laser commissioning.
Goodbye to MPhys students
A goodbye to Dylan Maxwell and David Barcons who have completed their S7 MPhys project. They worked together to develop non-equilibrium carrier dynamics modelling in nanowires, and to couple this to experimental measurements using TCSPC.
Thanks Dylan and David!
Ultrafast Science Group Workshop
Patrick is co-chairing the first USG workshop at the Photon Science Institute on Monday 11th January. This event will combine internal and external speakers covering the topics of the development and use of ultrafast lasers.
The external speakers are:
Dr Steven Jamison [STFC Daresbury Lab]
Dr David Clark [STFC Central Laser Facility]
Dr Jenny Clarke [University of Sheffield]
