Ultra-thin GaAs Photovoltaics for Space Applications
Ultra-thin photovoltaics (<100 nm) have shown an intrinsic tolerance to radiation-induced damage which makes them a potentially advantageous power source for spacecraft which need to withstand harsh environments outside ... -
Electrocaloric and barocaloric effects in organic materials
Electrocaloric (EC) and barocaloric (BC) materials undergo reversible thermal changes in response to changes in applied electric field and pressure, respectively. These materials could potentially be exploited in novel ... -
Diffraction Between the Spots: Scanning Electron Diffraction of Beam-sensitive Disordered Materials
Crystallography loves order, but many organic materials are disordered and only partially, if at all, crystalline. Nonetheless, these disordered materials are functionally complex and require characterisation. Their lack ... -
Development of Nanostructured Light Emitters in Gallium Nitride
Nanostructured light emitters in gallium nitride (GaN), including quantum wells (QWs) and quantum dots (QDs), are of widespread importance as the key technology enabling high- brightness blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) ...
