Prof. David McCloskey receives SFI Frontiers for the Future Award to investigate strong visible absorption in deeply subwavelength semiconductor films.Light reflecting from thin films creates strong interference patterns like those seen in soap bubbles or oil slicks. This effect known as thin film interference usually requires films with thickness greater than one quarter of a wavelength which corresponds to 125nm for visible light. ......... -
Prof. Lewys Jones awarded with SFI Frontiers Grant for his project, Maximum Information-efficiency Scanning Transmission Electron MicroscopyProfessor Lewys Jones was awarded €423,845 for his research on improving the performance of electron-microscopes which are used in research. Better image resolution and chemical mapping (each down to the atomic-scale) can then be of great use across many areas of Materials Science and Nanotechnology........... -
