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-
