Abstract There is a need for new conductive, scalable sensors with piezoresistive and thermoresistive properties applications in bioengineering. For example, the demand real‐time sensory feedback upper‐limb prosthetics requires that are low‐cost, scalable, sensitive to temperature, pressure, movement. It possible manufacture low‐cost conductive by directly mixing filler such as graphite into fillers polyorganosiloxane, although they can have poor electrical mechanical homogeneity. In this...

Bilayer graphene has many unique optoelectronic properties [1], including a tuneable band gap, that make it possible to develop new and more efficient optical nanoelectronic devices.We have developed Monte Carlo simulation for single photon counting photodetector incorporating bilayer graphene.Our results show that, conceptually would be feasible manufacture (with colour sensitivity) from use across both infrared wavelengths.Our concept exploits the high carrier mobility gap associated with...
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs), owing to their low-level photon counting capabilities, have increased in popularity the field of high energy astrophysics, particle physics and medical imaging. It is crucial accurately characterise SiPMs so they can be optimised for a particular application such as Compact High Energy Camera (CHEC-S) Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). Extraction techniques, applied SiPMs, quantify opto-electrical parameters gain, quenching resistance,...
The structure and composition of a crystalline material can strongly affect electronic properties such as the electron affinity work function. By optimising material, it is possible to design photocathodes for wide range applications. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) provides much improved control over synthesis photocathode versus traditional manufacturing methods. In this paper, we verify application reliability density functional theory (DFT) model performance by comparing simulations...
Photocathodes have a wide range of applications, and different materials can be used depending on the incident photon wavelength. The structure composition crystalline material strongly affect electronic properties such as electron affinity work function. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) provides much improved control over synthesis photocathode versus traditional manufacturing methods, which allows these electrical optical to optimized for particular application. In this article, we use density...
In this paper we outline our work towards high sensitivity graphene-based detectors at X-Ray, Terahertz and visible frequencies. We present current experimental results showing energy potential improvements to designs increase sensitivity.
We present a novel lidar system for aerosol typing in the planetary boundary layer (PBL). results from preliminary electronics tests and explain how these have influenced our design.
