A microgripper sensor device capable of detecting ion efflux from whole cells (2014)
Journal Article
Daunton, R., Wood, D., Gallant, A., & Kataky, R. (2014). A microgripper sensor device capable of detecting ion efflux from whole cells. RSC Advances, 4(92), 50536-50541. https://doi.org/10.1039/c4ra05052e

Electrothermally actuated microgripper sensor devices that are capable of simultaneous manipulation of live mouse oocytes and the sensing of potassium ion efflux are presented. The ion selective electrode technology applied to a microgripper device y... Read More about A microgripper sensor device capable of detecting ion efflux from whole cells.

Modelling and Experimental Verification of Heat Dissipation Mechanisms in an SU-8 Electrothermal Microgripper (2014)
Journal Article
Solano, B., Merrell, J., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2014). Modelling and Experimental Verification of Heat Dissipation Mechanisms in an SU-8 Electrothermal Microgripper. Microelectronic Engineering, 124, 90-93. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mee.2014.06.002

Within this work, a microgripper based on a hot–cold arm principle was tested to give a greater understanding of the associated heat dissipation methods. Experiments were conducted in air at atmospheric and sub-atmospheric pressure, and in helium, ar...

Development of Phase Shift Lithography for the Production of Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes (2014)
Journal Article
Dodd, L., Rosamond, M., Gallant, A., & Wood, D. (2014). Development of Phase Shift Lithography for the Production of Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes. Micro and Nano Letters, 9(7), 437-440. https://doi.org/10.1049/mnl.2014.0102

Metal-oxide-metal (MOM) diodes have been produced by combining two novel techniques: a reactive ion etche and subsequent plasma oxidation, and a phase shift lithography process. This has resulted in a significant reduction in device feature sizes, do... Read More about Development of Phase Shift Lithography for the Production of Metal-Oxide-Metal Diodes.

Single and double bosonic stimulation of THz emission in polaritonic systems (2014)
Journal Article
Kaliteevski, M., Ivanov, K., Pozina, G., & Gallant, A. (2014). Single and double bosonic stimulation of THz emission in polaritonic systems. Scientific Reports, 4, Article 5444. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep05444

The influence of the surrounding cavity on the efficiency of different types of polaritonic emitters of THz radiation has been analysed. It is demonstrated that THz lasing threshold in realistic structures cannot be achieved without a THz cavity, due...
