Nano-antennas assist in improving spatial resolution of terahertz microscopy
A team lead by a LCN researcher has demonstrated a detector for terahertz waves with integrated optical nano-antennas. The detector enables enhanced spatial resolution in terahertz microscopy. Similar to more commonly used infra-red waves and X-rays, terahertz waves...
The makings of a Hund’s metal
In atomic physics, Hund’s rules refers to a set of guidelines which are used to determine the term symbol that corresponds to the ground state of a multi-electron atom. The concept of a ‘Hund’s metal’ has arisen from the realization that the interactions that...
