New Publication - Distinguishing cap and core contributions to the photoconductive terahertz response of single GaAs based core–shell–cap nanowire
Our recent work on single-nanowire terahertz detectors has been published in a special issue of the Lithuanian Journal of Physics, celebrating the 70th birthday of Prof. Arunas Krotkus.
In this work, Dr Kun Peng used single-nanowire terahertz detectors with different capping to understand the relative contribution of the core and
PhD Viva in Lancaster
Patrick acted as external PhD examiner for Hayfaa Alradhi, a student in the group of Dr Qiandong Zhuang in the Physics Department at Lancaster University.
New Paper - Three-dimensional direct laser written graphitic electrical contacts to randomly distributed components
A paper by Dr Bryce Dorin has been published in Applied Physics A, where our recently developed direct-laser-writing technique was put to use contacting randomly distributed and encapsulated components.
In this work, Bryce distributed and encapsulated commercial microLEDs in a polyimide/epoxy system, and used direct laser writing to convert
UK III-V Nanowire Meeting
Patrick spoke at the UK III-V nanowire meeting in Oxford on March 20th on “Big-data for nano-wires”. This meeting brought together the UK community in nanowire growth and characterisation for a one-day workshop.
PhD student Arturo gave a poster on his most recent work related to nanowire statistics.
PhD Viva in Nottingham
Patrick acted as external PhD examiner for James Kerfoot, a student in the group of Prof. Peter Beton in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham.
Manchester - Melbourne Linkage Scheme: First trip
Patrick visited Prof Ken Crozier and postdoc Jasper Cadusch at the University of Melbourne from 19th February to 22nd February as part of the Manchester-Melbourne linkage scheme. He gave the Physics Department Colloquium on Tuesday 20th February.
During the 5 day trip, Patrick learnt about new devices being made in
New Paper : Towards Substrate Engineering of Graphene-Silicon Schottky Diode Photodetectors
A new paper describing the development and characterisation of high-speed Graphene-Silicon Schottky photodetectors has been published in RSC Nanoscale.
The work, led by PhD student Hakan Selvi and Tim Echtermeyer includes high-speed device characterisation performed in the Parkinson lab.
The new devices are broadband, high-speed, large-area and low-cost photodetectors which
Manchester-Melbourne Linkage Scheme
Patrick Parkinson (Manchester) and Ken Crozier (Melbourne) have been awarded linkage scheme funding to establish a collaboration.
This funding, established by the two universities, will allow bilateral exchanges to exploit areas of expertise at the two institutions. This project will explore nanostructured silicon materials developed by the Crozier group using
Welcome to Ruqaiya!
A welcome to Ruqaiya who joins us as a visitor for the next three weeks. Ruqaiya will work on a project on high-speed multiphoton photocurrent mapping.
