New Paper - Broad Band Phase Sensitive Single InP Nanowire Photoconductive Terahertz Detectors

Kun’s paper “Broad Band Phase Sensitive Single InP Nanowire Photoconductive Terahertz Detectors” has been accepted for publication in Nano Letters. In the work, Kun has fabricated a single nanowire terahertz detector using an InP nanowire, and compared different antenna structures with traditional “bulk” InP detectors. We have shown the

Welcome to Manish and Conor!

We welcome two University of Manchester physics undergraduate students to the group for a summer project. Manish Patel joins us to spend 6 weeks looking at how to identify the same nanowire twice on a substrate of 100,000 – not an easy challenge when they all look the same! Conor

Lab Progress - first data

After an extended ~ 3month move period, the micro-PL system is back up and running with our new laser system. Just in time for Arturo to get started on his new project…!

Conference - ICONN 2016

Patrick has given a talk at ICONN 2016 (the International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology), held in Canberra, Australia. The conference had sessions focussing on nanophotonics, nanomaterials, nanocharacterisation, nanoelectronics and commercialisation/safety issues. Patrick spoke on “Statistical Study of Nanowire Disorder”, covering new work as well as Christopher Davies recent

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
