Light coupling in waveguides has been extensively investigated in a variety of contexts, from photonic integrated circuits to biosensing and near-eye displays for augmented reality. Here, narrowband diffraction is reported using a Fano interference effect ...

Zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) is a compound semiconductor based on earth-abundant elements with functional properties ideal for solar cell applications. Cheap, abundant, and renewable energy sources are increasingly imperative due to the imminent threat posed by ...

Earth-abundant semiconducting materials are a potential solution for large-scale deployment of solar cells at a lower cost. Zinc phosphide (Zn3P2) is one such Earth-abundant material with optoelectronic properties suitable for photovoltaics. Herein, we rep ...

Integrated wearable electronics capable of providing biophysical information on complex and dynamic systems have attracted high interest in diverse fields such as healthcare, gaming and robotics. Wearable sensors can create artificial, electronic skins wit ...

Heterogeneous catalyst preparation has been performed for close to a century but has been rapidly evolving spurred by the evolution in synthetic techniques and growing needs in energy, chemicals and materials. An increasing number of catalyst synthesis str ...

Progress in nanotechnology, including fabrication and characterization tools, opened up the unprecedented low dimensional materials era, where we can manipulate and structure matter on a size scale that we could not reach before. Due to many interesting pr ...

The flow of a thin film coating the underside of an inclined substrate is studied. We measure experimentally spatial growth rates and compare them to the linear stability analysis of a flat film modelled by the lubrication equation. When forced by a statio ...

Thin two-dimensional (2D) material absorbers have the potential to reduce volume-dependent thermal noise in infrared detectors. However, any reduction in noise must be balanced against lower absorption from the thin layer, which necessitates advanced optic ...

Wearable electronic circuits based on the films of gallium and its alloys offer promising implementations in health monitoring and gaming sensing applications. However, the complex rheology of liquid metals makes it challenging to manufacture thin gallium‐ ...

Thin film coatings are ubiquitous in modern daily lives, from the semi-conductor industry to aesthetic applications, and rely on the modification of a given material to enhance its surface properties. At CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), t ...

Quantum dots (QDs) are the result of quantum confinement in the three spatial directions, as such they exhibit remarkable properties, of which the most important is perhaps the absence of a continuum of states. The allowed energetic levels are discrete, si ...

A thin film grown on a substrate to which the attractive forces are of lower strength than covalent, metallic and/or ionic bonds can be detached from the substrate without the need of a Smart-cut type of process, e.g. without the need of ion implantation. ...
