We would like to welcome Djamshid to the group. Djamshid carried out his PhD in Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Oxford under the supervision of Professor Michael Johnston. His research focused on several aspects of THz spectroscopy and devices, ranging from development of broad-bandwidth THz spectroscopy systems using air-plasma generation to application of…

Prof. Richard Curry (PI), Dr Jessica Louise Boland, Prof. Coskun Kocabas, Prof. Ian Kinloch and Prof. Wendy Flavell were awarded an EPSRC Strategic Equipment Grant! This grant was financially supported by both EPSRC and Henry Royce Institute and will fund the purchase of a cryogenic scattering-type near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM) and establish a national facility…

The group has been awarded a New Investigator Award to develop a terahertz scattering-type near-field optical microscope (THz-SNOM) to investigate the optoelectronic properties of topological insulator thin films and nanowires on nanometre length scales. This award will fund a postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) for 2 years, as well as travel, consumables and equipment for the…
