Highlighting our collaborative Nature paper on electron spectroscopy and imaging of interface phonons!
Feb. 21, 2022—Take a look at the recent work from Joseph Matson of the Interdisciplinary Materials Science at Vanderbilt University within the Josh Caldwell group (Vanderbilt University Mechanical Engineering) and Deliang Bao (包德亮) and Andrew O’Hara within the group of Sokrates Pantelides (Vanderbilt Physics) that was published today in Nature (Springer Nature Group). The work employed electron beam methods to directly image and measure vibrational modes at...

Demonstration of nanophotonic IR emitting metamaterials for gas sensing!
Jan. 14, 2021—Congratulations to our former VINSE REU student Alyssa Livingood and a senior graduate student in IMS Ryan Nolen for leading the charge in demonstrating the use of cadmium oxide films for a narrowband, normal incidence nanophotonic IR emitting metamaterial (NIREM). Through a collaboration with Third Floor Materials, it was demonstrated that the radiation pattern could...
See our work with the Abate group on the IR response of Mica
Jan. 14, 2021—Check out our recent collaborative work with Yohannes Abate’s group at the University of Georgia looking at the near-field IR response of mica.
Collaborative work demonstrating ultrastrong coupling in the mid-infrared published in Nature Photonics!
Dec. 9, 2020—Check out the recent publication in Nature Photonics highlighting ultrastrong coupling between vibrational modes and plasmon polaritons. Achieved with an optical analog of a coaxial cable, this was achieved by funneling infrared light with a wavelength almost 3000 times larger than the 3-nm wide SiO2 apertures. Also see the highlight of this work from Vanderbilt.

Goodbye to Prof. Thomas Folland!
Aug. 20, 2020—It is a bittersweet day for the lab, but we have now officially said goodbye to our postdoc extraordinaire Tom Folland. Tom started at Vanderbilt a month before me, working to setup the lab and get things in order. This is what he arrived to see on his first day! During his time the group...
