Graduation day: Nikesh Patel Congratulations again to Dr Nikesh Patel who graduated in the sunshine of Manchester. He'll be taking a role with the startup aegiq in Sheffield.
ICANS30: Talks Several of the group attended ICANS30, held in Manchester (5-8 August). We had contributed talks from group members Nikesh Patel and Stephen Church (pictured), as well as friends and colleagues from around Europe: - Hannah Joyce (Cambridge) - Gregor Koblmuller (TUM/WSI, Munich) - Paola Prete (CNR, Lecce) - David
Research: XRF and XEOL at ESRF Patrick, Stephen and Nikesh visited the ID16 beamline at ESRF Grenoble to carry out nano X-ray imaging. This was led by Dr Valentina Bonino, beamline scientist; four 24 hour shifts were used to measure combine XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) and XEOL (X-Ray excited optical luminescence) with 60nm resolution on doped and
New Publication: Improving Quantum Well Tube Homogeneity Using Strained Nanowire Heterostructures Group PhD student Nikesh Patel has just had his first paper accepted in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces. His study uses a new methodology to understand how quantum "shells" - less than 10nm thick - vary both within single nanowires, and between them. By using automated high-throughput approaches on over
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
Nanowire Week 2022: Talks and Posters Group members Dr Stephen Church and Nikesh Patel have presented their work at the 2022 Nanowire Week meeting in Chamonix, France. Stephen gave an oral presentation on his recent research on “Nanowire facet reflectivity and lasing performance using high-throughput interferometry“. Nikesh presented a poster on his work on “High Intra-
