Modeling and evaluation of power transmission of flapping wing nano air vehicle

Alexandre Bontemps, Sébastien Grondel, Thomas Vanneste, Samuel Dupont, Eric Cattan

In the last decade researchers pursued the development of tiny flying robots inspired by natural flyers. Within this context our main objective is to devise a flying robot-mimicking insect in terms of kinematics and scale using MEMS technologies. For this purpose, an original design has been…

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…

Atomic switch : synaptic functionalities and integration strategies

Selina La Barbera, David Guérin, Dominique Vuillaume, F. Alibart

In recent years, research in the field of neuro-inspired computing has generated a lot of interest and seems to be a promising candidate to complement and to provide enhanced performances and new functionalities to the existing CMOS/Von Neumann processor, such as image recognition or datas…

From 'petal effect' to 'lotus effect' on the highly flexible Silastic S elastomer microstructured using a fluorine based reactive ion etching process

Christophe Frankiewicz, Farzam Zoueshtiagh, Abdelkrim Talbi, Jeremy Streque, Philippe Pernod, Alain Merlen

A fluorine-based reactive ion etching (RIE) process has been applied on a new family of silicone elastomers named 'Silastic S' for the first time. Excellent mechanical properties are the principal advantage of this elastomer. The main objective of this study was (i) to develop a new…

Influence of processing gases on the properties of cold atmospheric plasma SiOxCy coatings

H. Hamze, Maude Jimenez, D. Deresmes, Arnaud Beaurain, Nicolas Nuns, Michel Traisnel

Thin layers of SiOxCy (y = 4−x and 3 ≤ x ≤ 4) were applied using a cold atmospheric plasma torch on glass substrates. The aim was to investigate using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (Tof-Sims) the influence of…

Longitudinal and transversal polarization switching in strained ferroelectrics

Laurent Baudry, Igor A. Luk'Yanchuk, A. Razumnaya

Using the multicomponent Landau-Devonshire functional we study the field-induced polarization switching in c-oriented ferroelectric phase of epitaxial perovskite film and found that two different regimes are possible: (i) longitudinal switching with change of the polarization modulus and (ii)…

Electrical characterization of semiconductor nanowires by scanning tunneling microscopy

Corentin Durand, Pierre Capiod, Maxime Berthe, Tao Xu, Jean-Philippe Nys, Renaud Leturcq, Philippe Caroff, B. Grandidier

In order to understand the structural and electronic properties of semiconductor nanowires, scanning tunneling microscopy is an appealing technique that can supplement transmission electron microscopies and conventional electrical characterization techniques. It is able to probe the surface of…

Multiuser phase coded costas signals with improved cross-correlation and partial cross-ambiguity properties

Nadjah Touati, Charles Tatkeu, Atika Rivenq, Thierry Chonavel

Costas codes are a variant of frequency hopping codes that achieve the «thumbtack» auto-ambiguity function needed in radar applications. However, they may show poor cross- ambiguity properties when selected and assigned randomly which makes them poorly adapted to multiuser radar applications. In…

Synthesis and characterization of BNT thin films

Sara Abou Dargham, Jihane Jabbour, Youssef Zaatar, Jamal Assaad, Antonio Khoury, Denis Remiens, Doumit Zaouk

Polycrystalline piezoelectric lead-free Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (abbreviated as BNT) thin films were deposited on glass substrates by an optimized Sol-Gel process using the Electrospray technique. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that after heating the films at 650˚C for 1 hour, dense and well…
