A study of the polarimetric characteristics of planar chiral mesoscopic structures (2021)
Thesis
Alzahrani, H. (2021). A study of the polarimetric characteristics of planar chiral mesoscopic structures. (Thesis). University of Salford

It has been shown previously that chiral materials can rotate the direction of incident polarized light. This work focuses on a new way of investigating the polarized response of chiral metamaterial structures and nanoparticles. In the theoretical pa...

Stokes polarimetric imaging and applications to novel materials (2021)
Thesis
Gou, J. Stokes polarimetric imaging and applications to novel materials. (Thesis). University of Salford

In this thesis, a dual photo elastic modulator-based Stokes polarimetric method for polarization measurement is described, which forms the basis of the operation of a prototype polarimetric microscope. The operational characteristics of the microscop... Read More about Stokes polarimetric imaging and applications to novel materials.

A study of focused ion beam patterned thin magnetic films with soft x-ray and magneto-optical microscopy (2010)
Thesis
Cook, P. A study of focused ion beam patterned thin magnetic films with soft x-ray and magneto-optical microscopy. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Until the last few years, focussed ion beam systems were primarily used within the semiconductor industry as tools for modifying prototype integrated circuits, but owing to the development of commercial systems and the concomitant reduction in cost...

The growth and characterisation of zinc-based nanostructures (2009)
Thesis
Qin, L. The growth and characterisation of zinc-based nanostructures. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

Functional nanomaterials have been studied intensively ever since the selforganisation of nanostructures was first reported in the mid-1990s. The templateassisted growth of nanostructures is considered to be one of the most important branches in n... Read More about The growth and characterisation of zinc-based nanostructures.

Ultrathin films on semiconductor substrates : growth, magneto-optical characteristics and spin injection (2007)
Thesis
Guan, W. Ultrathin films on semiconductor substrates : growth, magneto-optical characteristics and spin injection. (Thesis). University of Salford

Ferromagnetic metal films on semiconductors are considered to be one of the most likely candidates to achieve an efficient spin injection at room temperature, which is one of the essential requirements for spintronics devices. The work presented f... Read More about Ultrathin films on semiconductor substrates : growth, magneto-optical characteristics and spin injection.
