Synergistic Pyro‐Phototronics and Structural Anisotropy in CsAg2I3/GaN Heterostructures for High‐Performance Polarization‐Sensitive UV Photodetectors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The development of polarization‐sensitive ultraviolet photodetectors is limited by poor heterojunction quality and low polarization sensitivity. This study integrates synthesized CsAg2I3 single crystals with intrinsic non‐centrosymmetry into van der Waals heterojunction devices, demonstrating pronounced pyro‐phototronic effect.

Does Ambient Backscatter Communication Need Additional Regulations? [PDF]

2018 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN), 2018
Ambient Backscatter Communication (AmBC) is an emerging ultra-low power communication scheme which enables smart devices to communicate by modulating ambient radio frequency (RF) signals without requiring active RF transmission. AmBC can be interpreted as a spectrum sharing system that AmBC devices share the spectrum with the incumbent wireless ...
