Metamaterial Hyperlenses and Spin-wave Resonators Fabricated by Rolled-up Nanotech
Stefan Mendach, professor of physics, University of Hamburg,
Speaker's Bio:
Stefan Mendach received his doctorate in Physics at the University of Hamburg, Germany in 2005. During his Ph.D he developed a method to transform planar Quantum Hall devices into a tubular geometry by utilizing a strain induced self-rolling mechanism which was pioneered for plain semiconductor layers by Victor Prinz by the end of the 90s. With this new fabrication scheme he developed further novel devices like rolled-up optical resonators containing stress-tunable quantum dots, rolled-up metamaterial hyperlenses or rolled-up spin wave resonators. After a one year post-doc stay at the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart, Germany, he came back to University of Hamburg in 2006 to build up a junior research group with a focus on metamaterials and spin wave optics.
