Phase-field simulations for RF switches: highlighting the benefits of GeTe over GST

Corentin Mercier, J.F. Robillard, Emmanuel Dubois, Olga Cueto, Bruno Reig, Stéphane Monfray, Alain Fleury

To better understand the crystallization mechanism of phase change material, the phase field method is used for the first time in simulations of the switching dynamics of RF switches. This method allows reproducing the nucleation and growth of the crystalline phase during amorphization and…

Mechanical Design and Assembly of a Modular Educational Robot Using APIRO Components

Arthur Leduc, Odin de Vito, Noam Adda, Muhammad Fauzan Arief, Dwi Mulyo, Sofiane Ghenna, Hestiasari Rante

This paper presents a modular Cartesian robot for educational use, built using APIRO mechanical components and controlled via a browser-based interface hosted on an ESP32 microcontroller. The system enables students to explore mechanical assembly and axis control through hands-on interaction…

Effects of temperature, humidity and disorder in phase transformation phenomena of multi-stable systems

Vincenzo Fazio, Giuseppe Florio, Stefano Giordano, Giuseppe Puglisi, Nicola M Pugno

Multi-stable behavior at the microscopic length-scale is fundamental for phase trans- formation phenomena observed in many materials. These phenomena can be driven not only by external mechanical forces but are also crucially influenced by disorder and thermal fluctuations. Disorder, arising from…

Stochastic thermodynamics of holonomic systems

Stefano Giordano, Giuseppe Florio, Giuseppe Puglisi, Fabrizio Cleri, Ralf Blossey

<div><p>Stochastic thermodynamics is a recently developed framework designed to describe the behavior of small systems in contact with one or more thermal reservoirs. Originally applied to systems of unconstrained particles, it has provided deep insights into the thermodynamic behavior…

First demonstration of vertical AlGaN P-i-N diodes grown on silicon substrate for Next-Generation power electronics

Jash Mehta, Abdelkhalek Sefssafi, Antoine Barbier, Stephanie Rennesson, Fabrice Semond, Julien Brault, F Medjdoub

In this work, we report the first demonstration of quasi-vertical AlGaN PiN diodes grown directly on silicon substrates, paving the way toward high-performance, low-cost power electronics. GaN and AlGaN heterostructures were grown on 2-inch silicon wafers via molecular beam epitaxy. The AlGaN diode…

Proposed Experiments for Detecting Contextual Hidden Variables

Konstantinos Papatryfonos, Louis Vervoort

We propose two quantum experiments – modified Bell tests – that could detect contextual hidden variables underlying quantum mechanics. The experiments are inspired by hydrodynamic pilot-wave systems that mimic a wide range of quantum effects and exhibit a classical analog of contextuality. To…

Traitement de signaux neuronaux à base de réseaux de neurones à décharges optimisés pour accélérateurs neuromorphiques, Processing neural signal with spiking neural networks optimized for neuromorphic hardware

Alexis Melot

Les Interfaces Cerveau-Machine (ICM) reposent sur le tri de potentiels d'action pour décoder l'activité des neurones individuels, une méthode centrale pour des neuroprothèses et l'étude des circuits cérébraux. Avec l'amélioration des sondes neuronales incluant une densité…, Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) depend on sorting action potentials (spike sorting) to decode individual neuron activity, an essential process in both neuroprosthetics and the study of neural circuits. Advances in neural probes, particularly the increased electrode density, have dramatically…

Electrochemical Additive Manufacturing to Electropolymerize Devices on a Chip

Paul Moustiez, David Guérin, Sébastien Pecqueur

<div><p>Fabricating electronic devices spoiling the least resources is of an increasingly high importance. Also, micro-electronics hardly embeds chemical functionalities on silicon, as soft materials suffer from harsh conditions of conventional processes. In this study, electrochemistry…

Improving electrical contact of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes with bonding metals in thermocompression bonding through oxygen plasma treatment

Jianping Zou, Rongtao Jiang, Chong Wei Tan, Dominique Baillargeat, Philippe Coquet, Beng Kang Tay

Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) are being widely studied due to their exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. The application of thermocompression bonding (TCB) technique has positioned VACNTs as promising candidates for 3D heterogeneous integration, interconnects,…
