Members of the PLASAR group in cooperation with colleagues from the Institute of Physics and Jožef Stefan Institute published a paper in Applied Surface Science. In the paper, they present the method of laser synthesis of Ag and ZnO nanoparticles and show their advanced photocatalytic properties, highlighting the photocatalysis of organic dyes using a sunlight simulator. The mechanism of photocatalysis of Ag-ZnO using visible light was also determined.

Our colleague Dino Novko, in collaboration with scientist from Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences, Iran, has published a paper in Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, in which they explore novel plasmonic features in charge-density-wave material TiSe₂.

Neven Golenić and Vito Despoja, together with a collaborator from Italy Stefano de Gironcoli, published a paper in npj 2D Materials and Applications, where they theoretically examined the Bloch plasmon polaritons band structure in Al₂O₃/graphene/hexagonal-boron-nitride/graphene nanoribbons assembly  depending on the doping of graphene systems

Our colleagues Neven Golenić and Vito Despoja, together with a collaborator from Italy Stefano de Gironcoli, published a paper in Nanophotonics, where they theoretically examined the 2D plasmon excitation efficiency in graphene/hexagonal-boron-nitride (Gr/hBN) composites via silver spherical nanoparticle.

Members of our SIMAT group, in collaboration with colleges from Spain, published a paper in the prestigious journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, where they show a direct correlation between applied mechanical strain and increase of photoresponsivity, as well as demonstrated endurance of non-encapsulated MoS₂ monolayer based strain devices.
