Kahr, Kaminsky, et al. determine structural origin of light polarizing properties of herapathite

In a recent paper in Science, a UW group led by Professor Bart Kahr and Research Associate Professor Werner Kaminsky report the atomic structure of herapathite, a historically important source of large aperture light polarizers whose optical properties have long eluded explanation.


Markus Raschke promoted to Associate Professor

Raschke’s research focuses on the linear and nonlinear optical spectroscopy of surfaces and on the nanoscale.
