- This paper demonstrates the promise of VO2 phase change material in ultrafast optical communication. Actual application of the thermally driven phase transition in VO2 have been developed as part of EU H2020 grant "Metareflector" (No687303, £997k) and now the sole focus of an EU H2020 grant "Smartflex" (No821932, £1.2M). The work was highlighted by TheEngineer https://www.theengineer.co.uk/nanoantenna-effect-has-potential-for-optical-switching/” and Physics World “ “https://physicsworld.com/a/flash-physics-oldest-planet-forming-disc-spotted-greek-researcher-wins-2016-farinella-prize-nanoantennas-produce-fast-optical-switches/” It initiated a collaboration with the Duan group in Changsha, China (Royal Society, Newton mobility grant IEC/NSFC/170193) to further explore these ideas.
