Origins of Colouration in Invertebrates – Pigment and Structure (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Leech, D. (2020, June). Origins of Colouration in Invertebrates – Pigment and Structure. Presented at Field Studies Council Virtual Meet Ups

Colour/pattern recognition is a common cornerstone of animal identification, however, the processes by which animals actually display colour is incredibly complex. Beyond the simple pigmented systems, that also form the basis of our paints and inks,... Read More about Origins of Colouration in Invertebrates – Pigment and Structure.

The polychromatic Woodburytype: Colour tracking in translucent, patterned gelatin/pigment films (2020)
Journal Article
Leech, D. J., Guy, W., & Klein, S. (2020). The polychromatic Woodburytype: Colour tracking in translucent, patterned gelatin/pigment films. Molecules, 25(11), Article 2468. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules25112468

The Woodburytype is a 19th century photomechanical technique capable of producing high-quality continuous-tone prints. It uses pigment dispersed in gelatin to produce a 2.5D print, in which the effect of varying tone is produced by a variation in the...

Woodburytype: A historical process resurrected by modern methods (2020)
Journal Article
Klein, S., Guy, W., Leech, D., & Argyle, J. (2020). Woodburytype: A historical process resurrected by modern methods. IMPACT Printmaking Journal,

One of the technological achievements of the 19th century was the mass reproduction of photographic images. Woodburytype was the first commercially successful photomechanical continuous tone printing method, of unsurpassed quality until today. Along...

Valley-polarized tunneling currents in bilayer graphene tunneling transistors (2019)
Journal Article
Thompson, J. J. P., Leech, D. J., & Mucha-Kruczyński, M. (2019). Valley-polarized tunneling currents in bilayer graphene tunneling transistors. Physical Review B, 99(8), Article 085420. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.99.085420

We study theoretically the electron current across a monolayer graphene/hexagonal boron nitride/bilayer graphene tunneling junction in an external magnetic field perpendicular to the layers. We show that change in effective tunneling barrier width fo... Read More about Valley-polarized tunneling currents in bilayer graphene tunneling transistors.
