High-performance rectifiers fabricated on a flexible substrate (2016)
Journal Article
Etor, D., Dodd, L., Wood, D., & Balocco, C. (2016). High-performance rectifiers fabricated on a flexible substrate. Applied Physics Letters, 109(19), Article 193110. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4967190

We report on the fabrication and testing of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes on a flexible substrate where the thin insulating layer self-assembles as a monolayer sandwiched between the two metal electrodes. The current-voltage characteristic has a... Read More about High-performance rectifiers fabricated on a flexible substrate.

Low friction droplet transportation on a substrate with a selective Leidenfrost effect (2016)
Journal Article
Dodd, L. E., Geraldi, N. R., Xu, B. B., McHale, G., Wells, G. G., Stuart-Cole, S., …Wood, D. (2016). Low friction droplet transportation on a substrate with a selective Leidenfrost effect. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 8(34), 22658-22663. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.6b06738

An energy saving Leidenfrost levitation method is introduced to transport micro-droplets with virtually frictionless contact between the liquid and solid substrate. By micro-engineering the heating units, selective areas of the whole substrate can be... Read More about Low friction droplet transportation on a substrate with a selective Leidenfrost effect.

An ultrathin organic insulator for metal-insulator-metal diodes (2016)
Journal Article
Etor, D., Dodd, L., Wood, D., & Balocco, C. (2016). An ultrathin organic insulator for metal-insulator-metal diodes. IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, 63(7), 2887-2891. https://doi.org/10.1109/ted.2016.2568279

The design and fabrication metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes using an ultrathin organic insulator are presented. The insulating layer was found to be compact, highly conformal, and uniform, effectively overcoming the main design challenge in MIM dio...

Leidenfrost transition temperature for stainless steel meshes (2016)
Journal Article
Geraldi, N., McHale, G., Xu, B., Wells, G., Dodd, L., Wood, D., & Newton, M. (2016). Leidenfrost transition temperature for stainless steel meshes. Materials Letters, 176, 205-208. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2016.04.124

On surfaces well above 100 °C water does not simply boil away. When there is a sufficient heat transfer between the solid and the liquid a continuous vapour layer instantaneous forms under a droplet of water and the drop sits on a cushion of vapour,...
