Perovskite nanoparticles have attracted the attention of research groups around the world for their impressive photophysical properties, facile synthesis and versatile surface chemistry. Here, we report a synthetic route that takes advantage of a suite of ...
A combination of nanoscale imaging techniques such as atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy are used to investigate the relationship between surface morphology and height statistics of GaN cap layers in InGaN/GaN light emitting diode het ...
The appeal of plasmonics lies in the unique properties of coinage metal nanoparticles to strongly confine and enhance electromagnetic fields at the subwavelength. A simple 50 nm colloidal plasmonic particle can not only break the classical diffraction limi ...
The scanning thermal microscope (SThM) has become a versatile tool for local surface temperature mapping or measuring thermal properties of solid materials. In this article, we present recent improvements in a SThM system, based on a micro-wire thermocoupl ...
Using micro-cantilever deflection, we study laser-induced densification in bulk fused silica in the sub-50 fs, non-ablative regime. We estimate induced densification from deflection measurements, with a maximum value of 0.014%. ...
Second-order time correlation measurements with a temporal resolution better than 3 ps were performed on a CdTe microcavity where spontaneous Bose-Einstein condensation is observed. After the laser pulse, the nonresonantly excited thermal polariton populat ...
The monitoring of heat flux is becoming more and more critical for many technologies approaching nanometric dimensions. Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM) is one of the tools available for thermal measurement at the nanoscale. This measurement technics nee ...
The localized growth of carbon nanotube structures has potential in many applications such as interconnects, field emitters and sensors. Using a laser to locally heat the substrate offers a highly versatile process compatible with a broad range of substrat ...
Adaptive optics is used to abate aberrations with a wavefront correction. It is widely used in astronomy and is starting to expand into applications of laser focusing and imaging with high numerical apertures, e.g. microscopy. The physical background of fo ...
We present an approach for rational design and optimization of plasmonic arrays for ultrasensitive surface enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy of specific protein analytes. Motivated by our previous work that demonstrated sub-attomole detecti ...
