o, m, p-xylene, p-dichlorobenzene, 1,2,4 trichlorobenzene and naphthalene were calibrated as condensates used in thermoporosimetry technique. Exponential relationships were found connecting the pore radii (Rp(nm)) and dT (C) on one side and…
The investigation of liquid flow at the nanoscale is a key area of applied research with high relevance to Physics, Chemistry and Biology. We introduce a method and a device that allows to spatially resolve liquid flow by integrating an…
A new concept of an electromechanical nanodynamometer based on the relative displacement of layers of bilayer graphene is proposed. In this nanodynamometer, force acting on one of the graphene layers causes the relative displacement of this…
Polymeric materials are prized for their formability, low density, and functional versatility. However, the refractive indices of common polymers fall in a relatively narrow range between 1.4 and 1.6. Here, we demonstrate that loading…
We report the optical detection of magnons with a broad range of wavevectors in magnetic insulator Y3Fe5O12 thin films by proximate nitrogen-vacancy (NV) single-spin sensors. Through multi-magnon scattering processes, the excited magnons…
The observation and electrical manipulation of infrared surface plasmons in graphene have triggered a search for similar photonic capabilities in other atomically thin materials that enable electrical modulation of light at visible and…
Based on test-beam measurements, we study the response of a liquid-scintillator detector equipped with wavelength-shifting optical modules, that are proposed e.g. for the IceCube experiment and the SHiP experiment, and adiabatic light…
Liquid argon detectors are ubiquitous in particle, astroparticle, and applied physics. They reached an unprecedented level of maturity thanks to more than 20 years of R&D and the operation of large-scale facilities at CERN, Fermilab, and…
We present flexible photodetectors (PDs) for visible wavelengths fabricated by stacking centimetre-scale chemical vapour deposited (CVD) single layer graphene (SLG) and single layer CVD MoS2, both wet transferred onto a flexible…
To facilitate the implementation of large scale photonic quantum walks, we have developed a polymer waveguide platform capable of robust, polarization insensitive single mode guiding over a broad range of visible and near- infrared…
Robust nanoporous polymer films with approximate 100-nm thicknesses would be broadly applicable in technological areas such as flexible sensors, artificial skins, separators, antireflection and self-cleaning films. However, the creation of…

Two-dimensional hybrid nanocomposites combining graphene-like materials and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are created using various synthesis methods and are vital for environmental sensing due to the synergistic effects of their…
Surface Plasmon Resonance sensors are a well-established class of sensors which includes a very large variety of materials and detection schemes. However, the development of portable devices is still challenging as due to the intrinsic…
The enhanced nonlinear optical response of a one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal (PC) made from polymers and graphene composites is observed. The graphene PC was fabricated by spin-coating. It shows obvious bandgaps at two wavelengths in…
Optical levitation of dielectric particles in vacuum is a powerful technique for precision measurements, testing fundamental physics, and quantum information science. Conventional optical tweezers require bulky optical components for…
Poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) was thermally evaporated and deposited in vacuum. Infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm that the thin films were indeed P3HT, and showed that in-situ thermal evaporation provides a viable route for…
We propose an analytical framework to design actively tunable narrowband thermal emitters at infrared frequencies. We exemplify the proposed design rules using phase-change materials (PCM), considering dielectric-to-dielectric PCMs (e.g.…
We report a 1.65 times increase of the PMT signal and a simple procedure of application of a new wavelength shifting (WLS) paint for PMTs with non-UV-transparent windows. Samples of four different WLS paints, made from hydrocarbon polymers…
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. However, the reflectance of PTFE is a function of its thickness. In this work, we investigate this…
