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.
Laser path illuminated
Thanks to Arturo for some illustrative laser path photos in the newly set-up lab space
Welcome to MPhys students!
Welcome to Max Kahan, Pedro Trula, Michael Thorpe and Tom Thirlwell who join the group as MPhys students.
Max and Pedro will work on the application of machine learning approaches to studying large scale spectroscopic and imaging data produced by our nanowire characterisation tool.
Michael and Tom will work on
Welcome to Pawita!
A welcome to Pawita Boonrat, who joins the group for a PhD. Pawita will be primarily supervised by Mark Dickinson and is co-supervised by Patrick. Her project is co-sponsored by Lynton Lasers, and will focus on the development of lasers for conservation purposes.
Congratulations to Bryce!
Bryce has passed his PhD viva with just minor changes. Congratulations to Bryce on his work!
New Publication - Large-scale statistics for threshold optimization of optically pumped nanowire lasers
Arturo’s recent work has been published in Nano Letters [at http://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.nanolett.7b01725 ]. This work was done in collaboration with the group of Professor Chennupati Jagadish at the Australian National University.
In this paper, we describe how automated and high-speed spectroscopy can
