Continuously Beam-Steered Phased Array Antenna Using GaN Varactors for Millimeter-Wave Applications

Abdelaziz Hamdoun, F Medjdoub, Mohamed Himdi, Malek Zegaoui, Olivier Lafond

A continuously steerable beam patch antenna array employing a classical phase shifter based on GaN HEMTs is presented. Here, the GaN HEMTs are used as varactor diodes to achieve the tunability purpose. By controlling the DC bias of these varactors from −2 V to 2 V, the proposed array antenna can…

Thermoelectric Properties of Benzothieno-Benzothiophene Self-Assembled Monolayers in Molecular Junctions

Sergio Gonzalez-Casal, Rémy Jouclas, Imane Arbouch, Yves Geerts, Colin van Dyck, Jérôme Cornil, Dominique Vuillaume

We report a combined experimental (C-AFM and SThM) and theoretical (DFT) study of the thermoelectric properties of molecular junctions made of self-assembled monolayers on Au of thiolated benzothieno-benzothiophene (BTBT) and alkylated BTBT derivatives (C8-BTBT-C8). We measure the thermal…

Fabry-Pérot and Friedrich-Wintgen bound states in the continuum in a photonic triple-stub cavity

Yamina Rezzouk, Soufyane Khattou, Mohamed El Ghafiani, Madiha Amrani, El Houssaine El Boudouti, Abdelkrim Talbi, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are zero-width (infinite lifetime) trapped eigenmodes that remain conf ined in the system even though they coexist with a continuum of extended states. The resulting high-frequency resonances may have significant applications in photonic integrated circuits,…

Exploring the properties of higher-order Tamm plasmons for liquid and gas detection

O. Haidar, Baptiste Mathmann, Y. Dusch, Mohamed Boutghatin, E. Boudouti, G. Lévêque, A. Mir, A. Akjouj, A. Talbi

In this study, we present a numerical analysis of the higher-order Tamm plasmons for the design of a gas and liquid sensor. These plasmons are induced by a structure consisting of a cavity placed between the SiO2/Si3N4 Bragg grating and a finite layer of gold. This configuration is excited without…

Ultrafast skyrmion generation by plasmonic resonance

W. Al Saidi, Yannick Dusch, M. Myint, Nicolas Tiercelin, R. Sbiaa

This theoretical study unveils the potential for ultrafast skyrmion generation in magnetic thin films, driven by the remarkable plasmonic properties of gold nanoparticles. By combining the plasmonic, photothermal, and micromagnetic analysis, we explore size-dependent light absorption, resonance…

Reverse-Bias Current Hysteresis at Low Temperature in GaN Schottky Barrier Diodes

In this paper, we report an analysis of reverse current mechanisms observed in GaN Schottky barrier diodes leading to hysteretic behavior of the I\textendashV curves at low temperature. By means of DC measurements from 33 to 475\,K, we demonstrate the presence of two leakage mechanisms when…
