This work is a collaboration between world-leading growth and characterization groups: * Friedrich Schiller University Jena * The Australian National University * Zhejiang University * University of Cambridge * University College London Our comprehensive analysis reveals that while optimizing internal quantum efficiency is crucial
New arXiv paper - UV hybrid plasmonic nanowire lasers The result of a collaboration between Frederik Schiller University in Jena (Germany), National Yang-Ming Chiao-Tung University (Taiwan) and our group in Manchester has been uploaded to the arXiv. In this new work, Francesco Vitale reports the relationship between ZnO nanowire size and substrate with performance as a hybrid nanolaser. Group
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
Conference Talk: Stephen Church at UKNC Glasgow Group postdoc Stephen Church presented a talk at UKNC (the UK Nitrides Conference) in Glasgow, Scotland. His talk focussed on nitride-related aspects of our research, "Holistic characterization of GaN and III/V nanowires using experimental big data".
Conference Talk: Stephen Church at EUROMAT 2023 Group postdoc Stephen Church presented a talk at EUROMAT23, in Munich, Germany. His talk, on "Understanding Nanowire Laser Performance - Insights from Experimental Big-Data" drew together material from collaborators spanning Australia, London, Jena, and Cambridge. By applying a modular experiment with high-throughput capability he showed that some findings - such
