• Compositional tuning of the aurivillius phase material Bi5Ti3−2xFe1+xNbxO15 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) grown by chemical solution ddeposition and its influence on the structural, magnetic, and optical properties of the material 

  Halpin, Jennifer C.; Schmidt, Michael; Maity, Tuhin; Pemble, Martyn E.; Keeney, Lynette (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE, 2020-05-25)

  A series of Aurivillius phase materials, Bi 5 Ti 3−2x Fe 1+x Nb x O 15 ( x=0 , 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4), was fabricated by chemical solution deposition. The effects of aliovalent substitution for the successful inclusion ...
• Controlled morphology and dimensionality evolution of NiPd bimetallic nanostructures 

  Maize, Mai; El-Boraey, Hanaa A.; Ayad, Mohamed I.; Holmes, Justin D.; Collins, Gillian (Elsevier, 2020-10-13)

  Controlling the morphology of noble metal-based nanostructures is a powerful strategy for optimizing their catalytic performance. Here, we report a one-pot aqueous synthesis of versatile NiPd nanostructures at room temperature ...
• Directly grown germanium nanowires from stainless steel: high-performing anodes for Li-ion batteries 

  McNulty, David; Biswas, Subhajit; Garvey, Shane; O'Dwyer, Colm; Holmes, Justin D. (American Chemical Society, 2020-12-11)

  Germanium (Ge) nanowires were fabricated directly on stainless steel current collectors for Li-ion batteries without any additional catalytic seeds. Substrates of stainless steel are unconventional materials for the direct ...
• Stabilization of black phosphorus by sonication-assisted simultaneous exfoliation and functionalization 

  van Druenen, Maart; Collins, Timothy; Davitt, Fionán; Doherty, Jessica; Collins, Gillian; Sofer, Zdeněk; Holmes, Justin D. (Wiley, 2020-10-01)

  Black phosphorus (BP) has extraordinary properties, but its ambient instability remains a critical challenge. Functionalization has been employed to overcome the sensitivity of BP to ambient conditions while preserving its ...
• Model of thermo-optic nonlinear dynamics of photonic crystal cavities 

  Iadanza, Simone; Clementi, C.; Hu, C.; Schulz, Sebastian A.; Gerace, D.; Galli, M.; O'Faolain, Liam (American Physical Society, 2020-12-03)

  The wavelength scale confinement of light offered by photonic crystal (PhC) cavities is one of the fundamental features on which many important on-chip photonic components are based, opening silicon photonics to a wide ...
