Advanced Dielectric Structure Based Particle Accelerators
Dr Y Saveliev, Dr G Xia
Applications accepted all year round
A studentship is available from Oct 2019 on the development of advanced dielectric structure based particle accelerators in the Cockcroft Institute and the University of Manchester.
Dielectric measurements with a 3D printer
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Dr M P Robinson
Applications accepted all year round
The dielectric properties of an object – its permittivity and conductivity – give us useful information about it in fields ranging from non-destructive testing to body composition studies.
All-dielectric beam control using dynamically-tuneable metasurfaces
Prof C D Wright, Dr I.J. Luxmore
Application Deadline:
30 April 2019
Joint supervisors. Prof C David Wright and Dr Isaac Luxmoore. ***. In recent years, electromagnetic metasurfaces have generated huge interest due to their ability for precise control of the amplitude, phase and polarisation of waves, from the microwave region right through to the optical part of the spectrum.
Random laser with III-V semiconductor nanowires
Research Group:
Condensed Matter and Photonics
Dr SS Oh, Dr Q Li, Prof D Huffaker
Application Deadline:
1 April 2019
Semiconductor lasers are used extensively in our life for example optical telecommunications, bar code readers, CD players and the camera systems in mobile devices.
Ultra-nonlinear epsilon-near-zero flat optics
Prof M Ferrera
Applications accepted all year round
Design and characterisation of different artificial materials for the design of ultra-fast tuneable photonics devices. Giant epsilon-near-zero nonlinearities are targeted to allow subwavelength manipulation of light in both classic and quantum regime.
