Simple technique for determining the refractive index of phase-change materials using near-infrared reflectometry
(Optical Society, 25 June 2020)Phase-change materials, such as the well-known ternary alloy Ge2Sb2Te5, are essential to many types of photonic devices, from re-writeable optical disk memories to more recent developments such as phase-change displays, ... -
Direct Ink Writing of Mineral Materials: A review
(Springer Verlag / Korean Society for Precision Engineering, 26 May 2020)Due to the intrinsically limited mechanical properties, functionalities and structures of mineral material composites (MMCs) made through traditional fabrication approaches, there is a critical need to develop novel three ... -
Evaluating the hydraulic and hydro-morphodynamic performance of blue–green infrastructure over event and long-term timescales
(ICE Publishing / Thomas Telford, 2 July 2020)To evaluate the effectiveness of blue–green infrastructure (BGI) at multiple timescales requires a modelling tool that is capable of simulating the underlying hydraulic and morphodynamic processes within BGI. In this ... -
Performance characteristics of phase-change integrated silicon nitride photonic devices in the O and C telecommunications bands
(Optical Society, 6 July 2020)The evaluation and comparison of the optical properties in the O and C bands of silicon nitride rib waveguides with integrated Ge2Sb2Te5 phase-change cells is reported. In straight rib waveguides, a high transmission ... -
