Graduation Day: Ruqaiya and Nawal Congratulations to group PhD students Dr Ruqaiya Al-Abri and Dr Nawal Alamairi! Both move on to lectureship positions at the University of Technology and Applied Sciences, Oman.
Congratulations Nawal! Congratulations to group PhD student Nawal Al-Amairi on passing her PhD viva with a thesis entitled "Optimisation of Photo- and Particle Detectors using Ultrafast Scanning Photocurrent Microscopy" with minor corrections! Thanks to both examiners: Qiandong Zhuang (Lancaster) and Iain Crowe (Manchester).
Poster presentation at Graphene Week Group PhD student Nawal Al-Amairi presented her work on the development and optimization of graphene-based photodetectors at Graphene Week in Manchester.
Conference talk at E-MRS Congratulations to group PhD student Nawal Al-Amairi for presenting her work on particle detector characterisation at E-MRS this week! The work was a collaboration with the experimental particle physics group of Alex Oh at Manchester.
New Publication: Sub-Picosecond Carrier Dynamics Explored using Automated High-Throughput Studies of Doping Inhomogeneity within a Bayesian Framework Nano-materials are hard to precisely manufacture. By measuring >10k, we use their disorder to understand their performance in a paper in Small.
New Publication: Holistic Nanowire Laser Characterization as a Route to Optimal Design Group postdoc Stephen Church has just had a paper accepted into Advanced Optical Materials. In this work, he reports the study of thousands of individual nanowire lasers, using advanced statistical methods to identify a route to optimization. Photonic integrated circuitry is rapidly emerging as an alternative to electronics for specialist
Conference Presentation: UK Semiconductors Group postdoc Stephen Church presented a talk entitled “Disentangling Gain, Distributed Losses and End-Facet Losses in Freestanding Nanowire Lasers using Automated High-Throughput Micro-Spectroscopy” at UK Semiconductors in Sheffield, UK. This collaborative work between Manchester and colleagues in Zhejiang and University College London reported a multimodal correlative approach to studying nanolasers.
New Paper: Holistic Determination of Optoelectronic Properties using High-Throughput Spectroscopy of Surface-Guided CsPbBr3 Nanowires Optoelectronic materials form the building blocks of crucial components of modern technology, including solar cells, CCDs, lasers and LEDs. The past decade has seen significant developments in materials science that enable the shrinking of these materials to the nano-scale. These advancements have also created entirely new technologies based around light
Welcome to Ruqaiya and Nawal! The group welcomes Ruqaiya and Nawal as two new PhD students working in the group. Ruqaiya will be working on nanolasers for on-chip photonics using both nanowires and nanoshapes developed by collaborators in UCL, ANU and China. Nawal will be working on ultrafast photodetectors based on 2D materials with collaborators
