Pattern Formation on Silicon-on-Insulator [PDF]

open access: yesMRS Proceedings, 2004
ABSTRACTThe strain driven self-assembly of faceted Ge nanocrystals during epitaxy on Si(001) to form quantum dots (QDs) is by now well known. We have also recently provided an understanding of the thermodynamic driving force for directed assembly of QDs on bulk Si (extendable to other QD systems) based on local chemical potential and curvature of the ...

Tuning the Dielectric Properties of Individual Clay Nanosheets by Interlayer Composition: Toward Nano‐Electret Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The dielectric properties of clays are studied on the level of individual monolayers and functional double stacks. The material breakdown characteristics and charge storage performance are analyzed. For illustration, a defined charge pattern representing a cuneiform character is produced, written into a microscopic clay tile, referencing the origins of

Label-Free Biosensing With a Slot-Waveguide-Based Ring Resonator in Silicon on Insulator

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2009
We present a slot-waveguide-based ring resonator in silicon on insulator (SOI) with a footprint of only 13 mum times 10 mum, fabricated with optical lithography.

Phase formation and thermal stability of ultrathin nickel-silicides on Si(100) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The solid-state reaction and agglomeration of thin nickel-silicide films was investigated from sputter deposited nickel films (1-10 nm) on silicon-on-insulator (100) substrates.

Advanced Flame Retardant Strategies and Fire Performance Assessment for Safer Photovoltaics in Buildings: A Two‐Part Review

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems into building structures introduces distinct fire risks with critical implications for occupant safety. This review examines the key fire hazards associated with PV implementation and explores mitigation strategies, including flame‐retardant additives.

Cricket Inspired High Efficiency MEMS Speakers

open access: yesProceedings, 2017
We report on the realization of a biomimetic MEMS speaker inspired by field crickets. This speaker is at least five times thinner and four times more efficient than the current dynamic speakers used in portable electronics.

Enhanced Switching Performance in Single‐Crystalline PbTiO3 Ferroelectric Memristors for Replicating Synaptic Plasticity

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrated single‐crystalline PbTiO3‐based memristors with atomically sharp interfaces, well‐ordered lattices, and minimal lattice mismatch. The devices exhibited an ON/OFF ratio exceeding 105, high stability, and rich resistance‐state modulation.

Positive‐Tone Nanolithography of Antimony Trisulfide with Femtosecond Laser Wet‐Etching

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A butyldithiocarbamic acid (BDCA) etchant is used to fabricate various micro‐ and nanoscale structures on amorphous antimony trisulfide (a‐Sb2S3) thin film via femtosecond laser etching. Numerical analysis and experimental results elucidate the patterning mechanism on gold (reflective) and quartz (transmissive) substrates.

GaSb-based integrated lasers and photodetectors on a silicon-on-insulator waveguide circuit for sensing applications in the shortwave infrared [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We report our results on GaSb photodiodes and lasers integrated on a Silicon-On-Insulator waveguide circuit. The photodiodes operate at room temperature with 0.4A/W responsivity for grating-assisted coupling and >1 A/W for an evanescent design.
