Resonance of terahertz phonons in an acoustic nanocavity (2018)
Journal Article

We show the resonant behavior of ∼0.5-THz longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonons in an acoustic nanocavity of thickness ∼28 nm sandwiched between two GaAs/AlAs superlattices (SLs). One of the SLs, upon excitation with an ultrafast optical pulse, acts as... Read More about Resonance of terahertz phonons in an acoustic nanocavity.

Assessing the ex vivo permeation behaviour of functionalised contact lens coatings engineered using an electrohydrodynamic technique (2018)
Journal Article

In vitro testing alone is no longer considered sufficient evidence presented solely with respect to drug release and permeation testing. These studies are thought to be more reliable and representative when using tissue or animal models; as opposed t...

The Causal Effect of Public Service Motivation on Ethical Behavior in the Public Sector: Evidence from a Large-Scale Survey Experiment (2018)
Journal Article

Public service motivation (PSM) and ethical behavior are central concerns in public administration. Yet, experimental evidence on the causes of ethical behavior and the causal effects of PSM remains scarce, curtailing our understanding of both. This...

An experimental investigation of oxy-coal combustion in a 15 kWth pressurized fluidized bed combustor (2018)
Journal Article

Pressurized oxy-coal combustion is considered as a promising carbon capture technology due to its potential of high efficiency and low cost in CO2 capture. However, experimental investigations of oxy-coal combustion under pressurized conditions are f...

Sylva: 'To slowly trace the forest's shady scene' (2018)
Exhibition / Performance

The ways that people interact with trees and woods have varied dramatically through time and from place to place. Today many are concerned about the loss of woodland and might agree with Lord Byron’s Childe Harold in relishing the forest where ‘mort...
