Patterning of graphene on silicon-on-insulator waveguides through laser ablation and plasma etching [PDF]
We present the use of femtosecond laser ablation for the removal of monolayer graphene from silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides, and the use of oxygen plasma etching through a metal mask to peel off graphene from the grating couplers attached to the ...

Background: Recombinant pertussis vaccines inducing long-lasting immune responses could help to control the rise in pertussis. We here report on persisting antibody responses 2 and 3 years after booster vaccination with a new generation recombinant ...

Gate control of lattice-pseudospin currents in graphene on WS2: Effect of sublattice symmetry breaking and spin-orbit interaction [PDF]
Strong spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene grown on tungsten disulfide (WS2) has been recently observed, leading to energy gap opening by SOI. Energy gap in graphene may also be induced by sublattice symmetry breaking (SSB) where energy level in A-sublattice is not equal to that in B-sublattice.

We study electron transport through waveguides (WGs) in which the strengths of the Rashba ($\alpha$) and Dresselhaus ($\beta$) terms of the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) vary in space. Subband mixing, due to lateral confinement, is taken into account only

Bootstrap confidence intervals for predicted rainfall quantiles [PDF]
Rainfall probability charts have been used to quantify the effect of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) on rainfall for many years. To better understand the effect of the SOI phases, we discuss forming confidence intervals on the predicted rainfall ...

Magnetic Chirality Induced from Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida Interaction at an Interface of a Ferromagnet/Heavy Metal Heterostructure [PDF]
We study a microscopic derivation and the properties of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) between local magnetic moments in ferromagnet/heavy metal heterostructures. First, we derive DMI by Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida interaction through electrons in a heavy metal with Rashba spin orbit interaction (SOI).

Wide bandwidth and high coupling efficiency Si3N4-on-SOI dual-level grating coupler.
We propose and experimentally demonstrate fiber-to-chip grating couplers with aligned silicon nitride (Si(3)N(4)) and silicon (Si) grating teeth for wide bandwidths and high coupling efficiencies without the use of bottom reflectors.

On-Demand Spin-Orbit Interaction from Which-Layer Tunability in Bilayer Graphene
Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) that is gate-tunable over a broad range is essential to exploiting novel spin phenomena. Achieving this regime has remained elusive because of the weakness of the underlying relativistic coupling and lack of its tunability in

Oscillating spin-orbit interaction in two-dimensional superlattices: sharp transmission resonances and time-dependent spin polarized currents [PDF]
We consider ballistic transport through a lateral, two-dimensional superlattice with experimentally realizable, sinusoidally oscillating Rashba-type spin-orbit interaction.
