Cross-talk artefacts in Kelvin probe force microscopy imaging : a comprehensive study

Sophie Barbet, Michka Popoff, Heinrich Diesinger, D. Deresmes, Didier Theron, Thierry Melin

We provide in this article a comprehensive study of the role of ac cross-talk effects in Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM), and their consequences onto KPFM imaging. The dependence of KPFM signals upon internal parameters such as the cantilever excitation frequency and the projection angle of…

Influence of an interfacial AlxIn1-xSb layer on the strain relaxation and surface morphology of thin GaSb layers epitaxially grown on GaAs(001)

Mathieu Danoy, Pierre-François Angry, Julien Gavrel, Charlène Brillard, L. Desplanque, Y. Wang, P. Ruterana, Xavier Wallart

This work focuses on the strain relaxation and surface morphology of 10 ML thick GaSb layers on GaAs. It is shown that full relaxation is never reached for this thickness. The use of an AlSb interfacial layer only slightly improves strain relaxation but greatly reduces surface roughness. Finally,…

Sub-THz characterisation of multi-walled carbon nanotube thin films using vector network analyser

S. Puthukodan, E. Dadrasnia, V.K.T. Vinod, H.K. Nguendon, H. Lamela, Guillaume Ducournau, Jean-Francois Lampin, F. Garet, J.L. Coutaz, D.M. Lee, S. Baik

A vector network analyser is used to study the electrical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) thin films deposited on a fused quartz substrate in the sub-terahertz (THz) frequency ranges of 220-325 GHz (WR3.4) and 325-500 GHz (WR2.2). The experiment is performed in free space. The…

Biostimulation as an attractive technique to reduce phenanthrene toxicity for meiofauna and bacteria in lagoon sediment

Haithem Louati, O.B. Said, A. Soltani, P. Got, Cristiana Cravo-Laureau, Robert Duran, P. Aissa, O. Pringault, E. Mahmoudi

A microcosm experiment was setup to examine (1) the effect of phenanthrene contamination on meiofauna and bacteria communities and (2) the effects of different bioremediation strategies on phenanthrene degradation and on the community structure of free-living marine nematodes. Sediments from…

Inkjet coplanar square monopole on flexible substrate for 60-GHz applications

Aimeric Bisognin, Julien Thielleux, Wei Wei, Diane Titz, Fabien Ferrero, Patrice Brachat, Gilles Jacquemod, Henri Happy, Cyril Luxey

In this letter, the design, fabrication, and measurement of a 60-GHz printed antenna with inkjet technology over a flexible substrate is presented. The antenna is a coplanar square monopole with omnidirectional radiation characteristics. We especially measured a 68% total efficiency and a maximum…

On detection method for soft iterative decoding in the presence of impulsive interference

Vincent Dimanche, Alban Goupil, Laurent Clavier, Guillaume Gelle

This paper deals with the performance improvement of soft iterative decoders in impulsive interference modeled by additive noise. In case of $alpha$-stable noise, the inputs of the belief propagation decoder are too complex to compute. We propose to use an approximation of the log likelihood ratio…

Hypersonic band gap in an AlN-TiN bilayer phononic crystal slab

S. Hemon, Abdellatif Akjouj, A. Soltani, Yan Pennec, Y. El Hassouani, Abdelkrim Talbi, V. Mortet, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani

We show both theoretically and experimentally the existence of a complete band gap in a phononic crystal (PnC) constituted by periodical air holes drilled in a solid bi-layer slab. The composite slab is formed with an aluminum nitride (AlN) layer deposited on a titanium nitride (TiN) thin metallic…

Electro-optic and converse-piezoelectric properties of epitaxial GaN grown on silicon by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

Mireille Cuniot-Ponsard, Irma Saraswati, S.M. Ko, Mathieu Halbwax, Y.H. Cho, El Hadj Dogheche

We report the measurement of the (r13, r33) Pockels electro-optic coefficients in a GaN thin film grown on a Si(111) substrate. The converse piezoelectric (d33) and electro-absorptive coefficients are simultaneously determined. Single crystalline GaN epitaxial layers were grown with a AlGaN buffer…

Negative effective mass density of acoustic metamaterial plate decorated with low frequency resonant pillars

Mourad Oudich, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani, Yan Pennec, M. Badreddine Assouar, Bernard Bonello

We investigate the elastic wave dispersion by a phononic metamaterial plate containing low frequency resonator stubs arranged periodically over the plate. We show that this system not only provides stop bands for wavelengths much larger than the periodicity but also displays negative behavior of…
