This Master dissertation explores diffuse reflection spectroscopy as a viable tool for analytical chemistry, both quantitatively and qualitatively. In-vitro optical phantoms are created to mimic the turbid diffuse environments ...

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are semiconducting layered materials that can be isolated up to the limit of a single atomic layer. Next to graphene, they are some of the most intensively studied materials within ...

Since its discovery in 2004, graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, has attracted huge interest from the scientific community due to its extraordinary electronic, mechanical, and ...

Graphene is a relatively new material with unique properties that found application in the field of electronics and optoelectronics. A broadband absorption makes it especially interesting for photodetection applications. ...

[ANGLÈS] Graphene is used as a novel, versatile plasmonic material. The most common way to implement resonant light-plasmon coupling is to etch graphene into periodic nanostructures, which is invasive. Here, we study a ...

Understanding and improving how light is converted into electricity in materials is one of the central goals in the field of optoelectronics. This basic physical process lies at the heart of several major technologies, ...
