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.
Talks at the Materials Research Society Spring Meeting!
Apr. 16, 2018—The group all attended the Spring Meeting of the Materials Research Society in Phoenix, AZ. Ryan discussed his work in epsilon-near-zero – surface plasmon polariton hybridization using cadmium oxide bilayers, Joseph discussed his efforts in photothermal induced resonance (PTIR) measurements of hexagonal boron nitride nanostructures (recently published in Nano Letters). Tom had a super busy...
