A new quantitative optical biosensor for protein characterisation (2003)
Journal Article
Cross, G., Reeves, A., Brand, S., Popplewell, J., Peel, L., Swann, M., & Freeman, N. (2003). A new quantitative optical biosensor for protein characterisation. Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 19(4), 383-390. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0956-5663%2803%2900203-3

A new optical biosensor is described based on a dual waveguide interferometric technique. By addressing the waveguide structure with alternate polarisations the optogeometrical properties (density and thickness) of adsorbed protein layers at the sens...

Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules (2003)
Journal Article
Cross, G., Hackman, N., Thomas, P., Szablewski, M., Pålsson, L., & Bloor, D. (2003). Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules. Optical Materials, 21(1-3), 29-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0925-3467%2802%2900108-8

When a dipolar-conjugated molecule can lower its energy through gaining aromaticity, there can be a quite dramatic evolution of its polarisation properties dependent on the local reaction field generated in its environment. We have studied conjugated... Read More about Local field and aggregation dependence of the micro- and macroscopic optical non-linearity of zwitterionic molecules.

Orientation and solvatochromism of dyes in liquid crystals (2003)
Journal Article
Palsson, L., Szablewski, M., Roberts, A., Masutani, A., Love, G., Cross, G., …Yasuda, A. (2003). Orientation and solvatochromism of dyes in liquid crystals. Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 402(1), 43-53. https://doi.org/10.1080/744816685

The orientation and solvatochromism of some dye molecules in a liquid crystal have been investigated. Interactions with the host and the structure of the dye molecule affect the macroscopic alignment of dichroic dye molecules in a liquid crystal: It...
