Surface plasmon polariton modes in coaxial metal-dielectric-metal waveguides

New Journal of Physics, 2016
We explore the optical properties of a coaxial plasmonic metamaterial consisting of hollow dielectric cylinders with a diameter of 100–250 nm and a ring wall width of 10–50 nm, embedded in metal.

Microwave Absorption for Detection of Dirac Fermions in SnTe Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Microwave absorption can detect Dirac fermions in samples exposed to the atmosphere. Results showed that although topological surface states are robust against environmental degradation, they are not detectable by electrical transport measurements. Hence, microwave absorption can detect Dirac fermions even in samples whose surfaces have deteriorated ...

Mechanical Stress Evolution in Polycrystalline Ge Thin Films Under MeV Ion Irradiation

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Irradiation of polycrystalline Ge thin films with 1.8 MeV Au ions alters residual stress through defect generation and lattice expansion. Increasing fluence drives progressive lattice disorder and eventual amorphization. Polycrystalline Ge resists amorphization longer than crystalline Ge, as grain boundaries facilitate defect diffusion, significantly ...

Two-dimensional solitons at interfaces between binary superlattices and homogeneous lattices

, 2009
We report on the experimental observation of two-dimensional surface solitons residing at the interface between a homogeneous square lattice and a superlattice that consists of alternating "deep" and "shallow" waveguides. By exciting single waveguides in

Gain-assisted slow to superluminal group velocity manipulation in nano-waveguides

, 2006
We study the energy propagation in subwavelength waveguides and demonstrate that the mechanism of material gain, previously suggested for loss compensation, is also a powerful tool to manipulate dispersion and propagation characteristics of ...

Exploring the Potential of Microwave Annealing for Enhancing Si‐based GeSn Lasers

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We explore low‐thermal‐budget microwave annealing to enhance the performance of group‐IV GeSn lasers on Si. Microwave annealing under optimal conditions can simultaneously relax unwanted compressive strain and enhance the material quality of the GeSn active layer, thereby reducing the threshold and increasing the laser operating temperature.

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

Fractal Photonic Crystal Waveguides

, 2004
We propose a new class of one-dimensional (1D) photonic waveguides: the fractal photonic crystal waveguides (FPCWs). These structures are photonic crystal waveguides (PCWs) etched with fratal distribution of grooves such as Cantor bars.
