Characterization of a pentacene-based room-temperature MASER
A paper published in Scientific Reports by LCN researchers based at both UCL and Imperial College, presents the first thorough characterisation of a room temperature, zero-field MASER (a type of laser emitting microwaves); a system that was only discovered in 2012....
Silicon device solves overheating problem in lab analysis technique
Scientists from the LCN, Imperial College London and the University of Buenos Aires have published the results of a study testing a silicon nano-device in the journal Nature Communications. This silicon nano-device can funnel laser light to a tightly focused spot...
A light touch to reading electron spins
Scientists at the LCN have shown a new way of reading electron spins, which eliminates the need for powerful magnetic fields and reduces the reliance on very low temperatures. The study is published this week in the journal Nature Materials. One of the fundamental...
