On the merits of a unified physics and engineering undergraduate programme of study (2022)
Journal Article
Nezhad, M. P. (2022). On the merits of a unified physics and engineering undergraduate programme of study. Physics Education, 57, 045501. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6552/ac529a

The merits of a pedagogic and programmatic unification between physics and several engineering disciplines at the undergraduate level are discussed. Arguments for such a unification are presented, based on the strong overlap of core teaching material...

Suspended nanocrystalline diamond ridge waveguides designed for the mid-infrared (2021)
Journal Article
Rahmati, A. T., Mashanovich, G. Z., & Nezhad, M. P. (2021). Suspended nanocrystalline diamond ridge waveguides designed for the mid-infrared. Journal of Optics, 23, 075801. https://doi.org/10.1088/2040-8986/ac0873

A comprehensive study and design of air-clad suspended ridge diamond waveguides for operation across the 2.5–16 µm spectral range is presented, specifically targeting nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) thin films directly grown on silicon substrates. Thre... Read More about Suspended nanocrystalline diamond ridge waveguides designed for the mid-infrared.

CO2 laser micromachining of nanocrystalline diamond films grown on doped silicon substrates (2016)
Journal Article
Richter, J., Abdou, A., Williams, O., Witzens, J., & Nezhad, M. (2016). CO2 laser micromachining of nanocrystalline diamond films grown on doped silicon substrates. Optical Materials Express, 6, 3916-3926. https://doi.org/10.1364/OME.6.003916

We demonstrate that nanocrystalline diamond films grown on highly doped silicon substrates can be patterned using a CO2 laser operating at a wavelength of 10.6 μm, where both low doped silicon and diamond exhibit negligible optical absorption. The pa... Read More about CO2 laser micromachining of nanocrystalline diamond films grown on doped silicon substrates.
