Presentation / Conference
Karthikeyan, S., Hill, A., & Pilkington, R. (2010, November). The effect of oxygen on the properties of pulsed d.c magnetron sputtered In2O3 films. Presented at 1st CSE Doctoral School Postgraduate Research Conference, University of Salford, Salford

Thin films that have high transparency and conductivity are used in various applications such as displays, solar cells, electrochromic devices and heatable glasses (Granqvist and Hultåker, 2002;1-5). This present work describes the deposition of tra... Read More about The effect of oxygen on the properties of pulsed d.c magnetron sputtered In2O3 films.

A potential new light source for nuclear fusion (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Rose, C., McDonald, G., & Christian, J. (2010, November). A potential new light source for nuclear fusion. Presented at 1st CSE Doctoral School Postgraduate Research Conference, University of Salford, Greater Manchester

Lasers typically emit light of one or two, well-defined, frequencies (or ‘colours’). However, numerous applications arise if such light can be converted into a broad, multi-frequency (e.g. ‘multi-colour’) comb of laser beams. Applications range from...

Refraction law for self-collimated light beams at material interfaces (2010)
Presentation / Conference
McCoy, E., Christian, J., McDonald, G., Sanchez-Curto, J., & Chamorro-Posada, P. (2010, November). Refraction law for self-collimated light beams at material interfaces. Presented at 1st CSE Doctoral School Postgraduate Research Conference, University of Salford, Greater Manchester, UK

Perhaps the most fundamental electromagnetic phenomenon is the behaviour of light at the interface between dissimilar materials. In fact, the entire field of Optics follows from this single key concept. The reflection and refraction properties of a p...

Volumetric diffusers : pseudorandom cylinder arrays on a periodic lattice (2010)
Journal Article
Hughes, R., Angus, J., Cox, T., Umnova, O., Gehring, G., Pogson, M., & Whittaker, D. (2010). Volumetric diffusers : pseudorandom cylinder arrays on a periodic lattice. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 128(5), 2847-2856. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3493455

Most conventional diffusers take the form of a surface based treatment, and as a result can only operate in hemispherical space. Placing a diffuser in the volume of a room might provide greater efficiency by allowing scattering into the whole space....
