Behavior of conducting polymer-based micro-actuators under a DC voltage

L. Seurre, H. Aréna, Sofiane Ghenna, Caroline Soyer, Sébastien Grondel, Cedric Plesse, G.T.M. Nguyen, Eric Cattan, Frédéric Vidal

Conducting polymer-based micro-actuators are of great interest in soft MEMS as they exhibit large strains and forces in response to electrical stimulation. To date, these micro-actuators have very often been characterized by applying low frequency voltage to extract the electromechanical…

Zak Phase and Topological Tamm States Between Two Photonic Comb Structures

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

We investigate the existence of Tamm states at the interface between two one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystals (PCs) through an analysis of local density of states (LDOS) using the Green’s function method. The PCs are made of a comb-like structure consisting of stubs grafted periodically along a…
