      Direct conversion of light-polarization information into electric voltage using photoinduced inverse spin-Hall effect in Pt/GaAs hybrid structure: Spin photodetector 

      Ando, K.; Morikawa, M.; Trypiniotis, Theodossis; Fujikawa, Y.; Barnes, C. H. W.; Saitoh, E. (2010)
      The direct conversion of light-polarization information into electric voltage has been demonstrated using the photoinduced inverse spin-Hall effect in a Pt/GaAs hybrid structure. In the GaAs layer, spin-polarized carriers ...

      Spin transport in germanium at room temperature 

      Shen, C.; Trypiniotis, Theodossis; Lee, K. Y.; Holmes, S. N.; Mansell, R.; Husain, M.; Shah, V.; Li, X. V.; Kurebayashi, H.; Farrer, I.; De Groot, C. H.; Leadley, D. R.; Bell, G.; Parker, E. H. C.; Whall, T.; Ritchie, D. A.; Barnes, C. H. W. (2010)
      Spin-dependent transport is investigated in a Ni/Ge/AlGaAs junction with an electrodeposited Ni contact. Spin-polarized electrons are excited by optical spin orientation and are subsequently used to measure the spin dependent ...

      Sulfur doping of M/In2O3 (M=Al,W) nanowires with room temperature near infra red emission 

      Zervos, Matthew; Mihailescu, C.; Giapintzakis, Ioannis; Othonos, Andreas S.; Travlos, A. (2015)
      We have investigated the growth of Al doped In2O3 nanowires via the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism at 800°C using Au as a catalyst. We find that the Al is not incorporated into the cubic bixbyite crystal structure of In2O3 ...

      White light emission via cascade Förster energy transfer in (Ga, In)N quantum well/polymer blend hybrid structures 

      Itskos, Grigorios; Belton, C. R.; Heliotis, G.; Watson, I. M.; Dawson, M. D.; Murray, R.; Bradley, D. D. C. (2009)
      We have studied the room-temperature non-radiative energy transfer processes in hybrid structures composed of (Ga, In)N/GaN single quantum wells and semiconducting polymer blend films placed in nanometre-scale proximity. ...
