I’m thrilled to announce the publication of our latest research paper titled "Photoexcited Charge Carrier Dynamics and Electronic Properties of Two-Dimensional MXene, Nb₂CTₓ." In this collaboration, we delve into the world of 2D niobium carbide MXene, exploring its extraordinary photothermal conversion efficiency and its potential applications in next-generation technologies, including medicine and solar energy conversion. Our investigation, combining advanced density functional theory (DFT) calculations and state-of-the-art terahertz (THz) spectroscopy, reveals critical insights into the electronic properties and ultrafast dynamics of photoexcitations in Nb2CTx. Key Highlights: 🔹 Metallic nature of Nb2CTx with significant intrinsic free charge carrier density (~10²⁰ cm⁻³). 🔹 Considerable intra-sheet carrier mobility (~30 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹). 🔹 Rapid enhancement and decay of photoconductivity, highlighting efficient photothermal conversion. 🔹 Potential for applications in photocatalysis and sustainable energy conversion. 🔹 Photoexcitation transiently enhances Nb₂CTₓ conductivity, unlike MXenes with high carrier density. 🔹 Insights into ultrafast dynamics, promising for high-speed photonic and optoelectronic devices 🔹 Exploration of diverse surface terminations and their impact on electronic properties This collaborative effort involved esteemed colleagues from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, The British University in Egypt, Drexel University, and US Army DEVCOM Soldier Center.

🚀 Fundamental Science goes Innovation! 🚀 It is a fantastic journey, and great to see that technology developed in our department on laser-enhanced and ultrafast transmission electron microscopy will find applications beyond the lab. It started during my PhD thesis, but many people contributed over the years. Thanks to all (particularly Claus Ropers), and great to work with JEOL Ltd.! A few personal takeaways: - often, a research lab entering a field will make bolder decisions and try out new things before others discover its relevance. - you may spend years building a new experiment, but a paper often only contains data taken within a few weeks. - look into all the new things that evolved sideways; they may be relevant to others. - think early about generating IP; not the main goal of a PhD thesis/PostDoc, but it gives you an invaluable new perspective. Overall, the impact of your work is not only measured by papers but also by the technology and insights you develop on the way!

📣 Check out the new EHAWEDRY #research on hybrid muscle mechanics! Scientists are investigating how nanoporous silicon, infused with polypyrrole, behaves like muscles in water-based electrolytes. Using advanced techniques like x-ray diffraction and electron tomography, they discovered that the material's response is complex. Despite having isotropic mechanical behavior, the alignment of nanopores leads to different reactions in different directions. This isn't just a simple cylinder setup; it's intricate and heterogeneous. They also found that factors like diffusion and plastic deformation play crucial roles in the material's behavior. This study shows how combining microscopy and X-ray techniques offers a powerful way to understand these materials at a microscopic level.

It is my pleasure to share our recent research article titled "Inverse Opal Optical Tamm State for Sensing Applications" has been published in the Journal of Photonics and Nanostructures - Fundamentals and Applications. In this work, we explore the excitation of optical Tamm states in inverse opal-based 3D photonic crystals, where the fabrication process avoids the use of corrosive chemicals. Upon infiltration of non-reactive solvents like methanol and ethanol into the IO, we observed a significant shift in the optical Tamm state, consistent with our simulations. These results highlight the potential of IO-based OTS as an effective sensing tool. This work would not have been possible without the guidance of my supervisors, Dr. Kapil Debnath and Dr. Shivakiran Bhaktha B.N., and the invaluable contributions of our collaborator, Dr. Andrea Chiappini.
