Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Iovine, R., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2012, September). Nanorod-based glucose sensor. Presented at Metamaterials '2012: The Sixth International Congress on Advanced Electromagnetic Materials in Microwaves and Optics, St. Petersburg, Russia

In this paper, a metamaterial-based sensor consisting of an array of nanorods is proposed. An analytical model, describing the electromagnetic response of the nanorods, is proposed. Such model is verified through the comparison to full-wave numerical... Read More about Nanorod-based glucose sensor..

Conductively filled Poly(methyl methacrylate) composites; manufacture and testing processes for EMI shielding effectiveness (2012)
Thesis
Smuga, J. R. Conductively filled Poly(methyl methacrylate) composites; manufacture and testing processes for EMI shielding effectiveness. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5426

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an escalating concern in the modern electronic climate. As such it has become a critical area to consider when designing and packaging electronics. With the growing volume of electronic devices available and with...

An FE adjustment of a waveguide turnstile junction circulator using a three quarter wavelength gyromagnetic resonator. (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper
Helszajn, J., & Sharp, J. An FE adjustment of a waveguide turnstile junction circulator using a three quarter wavelength gyromagnetic resonator

One difficulty with the design of millimetre waveguide junction circulators using quarter-wave long gyromagnetic resonators, beside that of fabrication, is the inability to realize the required gyrotropy using existing ferrite materials. This shortc... Read More about An FE adjustment of a waveguide turnstile junction circulator using a three quarter wavelength gyromagnetic resonator..

Cut-off space of a gyromagnetic planar disk resonator with a triplet of stubs with up and down magnetization. (2012)
Journal Article
Helszajn, J., & Sharp, J. (2012). Cut-off space of a gyromagnetic planar disk resonator with a triplet of stubs with up and down magnetization. IET microwaves, antennas & propagation, 6, 569-576. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-map.2011.0491

A switchable circulator may be realized by internally or externally switching or latching a suitable ferrite resonator at the junction of three transmission lines or waveguides. This paper investigates the split frequencies and therefore the quality...

Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2012, April). Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics. Paper presented at SPIE Photonics Europe, Brussels, Belgium

In this paper, the design of a metamaterial-based sensor, operating in the mid-infrared frequency range, is proposed. The sensor consists of a planar array of complementary circular inclusions. The resonant frequencies of the sensor are designed to c... Read More about Sensor design for cancer tissue diagnostics.

Health and safety risks in the design and construction of magnetic shielding for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suites (2012)
Thesis
Price, T. R. Health and safety risks in the design and construction of magnetic shielding for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suites. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5032

Once energised, and even when the equipment is not imaging, magnets used in magnetic resonance imaging will produce a static magnetic field that extends in three dimensions around the magnet. This static magnetic field is invisible; it is impossible... Read More about Health and safety risks in the design and construction of magnetic shielding for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suites.
