Suspended absorber membranes published in Nano Letters!!
Our paper on “Suspended, Polarization-Dependent, Subwavelength-Perforated Metal Absorber for Mid-Infrared Bolometry” is published in Nano Letters. A collaboration with the Povinelli group at USC, led by Silvia Guadagnini and UT Mid-IR Research Associate Zarko Sakotic, we show strong, polarization-dependent absorption in perforated ultra-thin membranes. This work was funded by the… read more
Felix awarded REU Mentor Prize
UT Mid-IR Graduate Student Felix Estevez was awarded the REU Mentoring prize at the wrap-up lunch for the CDCM REU program this year. Felix worked with Oneida Moreno, from Northern Arizona University, on a system to measure surface recombination in narrow band-gap materials. Congratulations to Felix!!
