Conformally-coated Nickel-Carbon Nitride on Structured Pyrolytic Carbon Electrodes for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution
Nadira Meethale Palakkool, Mike P. C. Taverne, Owen G. Bell +8
This study presents a three-dimensional electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), tackling challenges in corrosion resistance, catalytic activity, and durability. The electr…
Thermal Shrinkage-Induced Modifications in Photonic Band Gaps of Two-Photon Polymerized Bragg Reflectors
Yu-Shao Jacky Chen, Mike P. C. Taverne, Kevin Chung-Che Huang +2
One-dimensional (1D) polymer-based photonic crystals (PhCs) in the wavelength range can be easily created using a two-photon direct laser writing system. To achieve short…
Hexagonal boron nitride based photonic quantum technologies
Madhava Krishna Prasad, Mike P. C. Taverne, Chung-Che Huang +2
Hexagonal boron nitride is rapidly gaining interest as a platform for photonic quantum technologies, due to its two-dimensional nature and its ability to host defects deep within i…
Observation of Complete Photonic Bandgap in Low Refractive Index Contrast Inverse Rod-Connected Diamond Structured Chalcogenides
Lifeng Chen, Katrina A. Morgan, Ghada A. Alzaidy +9
Three-dimensional complete photonic bandgap materials or photonic crystals block light propagation in all directions. The rod-connected diamond structure exhibits the largest photo…
Microstructure-Stabilized Blue Phase Liquid Crystals
Jia-De Lin, Ying-Lung Daniel Ho, Lifeng Chen +5
We show that micron-scale two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb microwells can significantly improve the stability of blue phase liquid crystals (BPLCs). Polymeric microwells made by dire…
Strong Light Confinement in Rod-Connected Diamond Photonic Crystals
M. P. C. Taverne, Y. -L. D. Ho, X. Zheng +3
We show that it is possible to confine light in a volume of order 10^-3 cubic wavelengths using only dielectric material. Low-index (air) cavities are simulated in high index rod-c…
Two-photon Lithography for 3D Magnetic Nanostructure Fabrication
Gwilym Williams, Matthew Hunt, Benedikt Boehm +8
Ferromagnetic materials have been utilised as recording media within data storage devices for many decades. Confinement of the material to a two dimensional plane is a significant…
Direct Wide-angle Measurement of Photonic Band- structure in a Three-dimensional Photonic Crystal using Infrared Fourier Imaging Spectroscopy
Lifeng Chen, Martin Lopez-Garcia, Mike P. C. Taverne +3
We propose a method to directly visualize the photonic band-structure of micron size photonic crystals using wide angle spectroscopy. By extending Fourier Imaging Spectroscopy sens…
Modelling Defect Cavities Formed in Inverse Three-Dimensional Rod-Connected Diamond Photonic Crystals
M. P. C. Taverne, Y. -L. D. Ho, X. Zheng +4
Defect cavities in 3D photonic crystal can trap and store light in the smallest volumes allowable in dielectric materials, enhancing non-linearities and cavity QED effects. Here, w…
Evidence of near-infrared partial photonic bandgap in polymeric rod-connected diamond structures
Lifeng Chen, Mike P. C. Taverne, Xu Zheng +5
We present the simulation, fabrication, and optical characterization of low-index polymeric rod-connected diamond (RCD) structures. Such complex three-dimensional photonic crystal…
Investigation of defect cavities formed in three-dimensional woodpile photonic crystals
Mike P. C. Taverne, Y. -L. D. Ho, J. G. Rarity
We report the optimisation of optical properties of single defects in three-dimensional (3D) face-centred-cubic (FCC) woodpile photonic crystal (PC) cavities by using plane-wave ex…
