Combined group outing!

May. 16, 2018—Had a wonderful day on the Harpeth river with the Valentine group. Really enjoyed the lazy morning off and great to get the groups together outside of the lab and conference rooms!  Some pictures are below: Just starting out!  The Valentine and Caldwell groups ready to go! From left to right: Claire Marvinney (Haglund group,...

Congrats to Rodrigo and Chris on an excellent publication

May. 16, 2018—Our paper on the sensitivity of surface phonon polaritons to chemical changes to the surface was recently published in ACS Photonics!  This included atomically thin oxide layers using atomic-layer deposition on SiC nanopillars and demonstrated anomalous spectral shifts occurring with ultra-thin oxide deposition! Give it a read here.
