New paper out in Light: Science & Applications! We show that excitation wavelength dramatically affects spin-dependent fluorescence in #hBN spin complex emitters, yielding a 3× boost in ODMR contrast and magnetic field sensitivity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My final PhD project is officially out in Advanced Optical Materials! We use 2D perovskite interlayers in a perovskite/rubrene upconversion system to reduce back-transfer and see some cool power and magnetic field dependent behaviour doi.org/10.1002/adom...

Very excited for our new paper to come out in ACS Nano where we investigate room-temperature magneto-photoluminescence in 2D perovskite nanosheets! doi.org/10.1021/acsn...

Between the Nanosheets: Enhancing Electron–Hole Exchange Interaction for Room-Temperature Magneto-Photoluminescence in Liquid-phase-exfoliated 2D Perovskite

Nanomaterials with a strong room-temperature optical response to magnetic fields are highly desirable for applications in sensing and photonics. Therefore, the ability to tune this response presents a...

Our team at UNSW Science and Engineering is making progress with singlet fission solar cells. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... @unswchemistry.bsky.social

Singlet Fission c-Si Solar Cells: Beyond Tetracene

Singlet fission photovoltaics enable the extraction of two electron–hole pairs from each higher-energy photon while leveraging a mature technology such as crystalline silicon (c-Si) as the underlying ...

Very excited to announce my first ever first author paper is out now in JPCC! We use Density Functional Theory to look at the interface between perovskite and rubrene to see what role surface termination plays pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Electronic Structure at the Perovskite/Rubrene Interface: The Effect of Surface Termination

Perovskite films have rapidly emerged as leading active materials in optoelectronic devices due to their strong optical absorption, high carrier mobility, and ease of fabrication. While proving to be ...
