Electromagnetic Materials Group

Our research focus is on the interaction between light and matter, where we have a particularly strong interest in the fundamental study of electromagnetic materials that incorporate structure from the nanometre to centimetre scale. We are part of "Functional Materials" - one of the University of Exeter's beacon areas of interdisciplinary research.

Plasmonics

Plasmon modes; plasmon-mediated light-matter interactions; bio-sensing.
Bill Barnes, Roy Sambles
 

Spintronics

Magnetoresistance, spin transfer torque, current induced dynamics.
Rob Hicken, Volodymyr Kruglyak

Microwave photonics

Metamaterials, absorbers and plasmonics.
Alastair Hibbins, Roy Sambles

Photonics in Nature

Optical effects in animals and plants; biomimetics.
Pete Vukusic

Terahertz
