Congratulations to Yara for winning the best presentation prize at The 1st AUGM (Asociacion de Universidades Grupo Montevideo) – BAYLAT (Bavaria-Latin America University Center)PhD Student Symposium on “Materials for Energy, Environment and Health.
Colloidal supraparticles promise exciting applications. But are they mechanically stable enough to deliver these promises? We investigate the mechanics of colloidal supraparticles under compression. We find a scaling relationship between… Read More »Junwei paper science advances
A new paper by our PhD student Yara was just published in ACS Omega! In this work, we showed how hierarchical surface roughness can enhance the stability of a ionic liquid… Read More »Yara’s paper
Yesterday Herbert successfully defended his PhD thesis, becoming the second PhD graduate from the Vogel Group. Congratulations!
A chiral plasmonics review? Don´t panic, we have you covered! In our review, we discuss mostly harmless theory, as well as the design and fabrication of large-area chiral plasmonic substrates.… Read More »Eric review
Together with Fedja Wendisch and Gilles R. Bourret we fabricated anisotropic Si nanowire arrays over large areas. The pallet of the possible cross-sections was extended to elliptical and crescent-shaped wires using MACE and colloidal… Read More »anisotropic Si nanowire
