Competing regimes of charge-carrier and impurity scattering limiting phonon heat conduction in heavily-doped silicon

Raja Sen, Juan Carlos Acosta Abanto, Mélanie Brouillard, Séverine Gomès, Jean-François Robillard, Alessandro Ciavatta, Lorenzo Paulatto, Nathalie Vast, Jérôme Saint-Martin, Jelena Sjakste, Pierre-Olivier Chapuis

With respect to undoped semiconductors, thermal transport by phonons is limited by two additional mechanisms when doping increases: charge-carrier and impurity scattering. Previous works provided contradicting conclusions on the dominant doping-induced scattering mechanism in silicon. In this work,…

Photonic Klein Tunnelling in Silicon Topological Materials for Terahertz 6G Interconnects

Samina Mulla, Sangram Kumar Sadhu, Siddhartha Lal, Anshuman Kumar, N S Vidhyadhiraja, Zhonghua Gu, Prakash Pitchappa, Pascal Szriftgiser, Guillaume Ducournau, Abhishek Kumar

<div><p>Topological photonics enables robust light transport along engineered interfaces, but transport across a potential barrier placed within such an interface, and the range of barrier strengths over which it survives, remain largely unexplored. Here we experimentally demonstrate…

Enhancement of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in cobalt-based systems through interfacial engineering

M. Belmeguenai, T. Al Maawali, A. Bendjaballah, W. Fotso, M. G. Hafiz, M. Ramu, S. M. Chérif, N. Tiercelin, M. S. Gabor, Y. Roussigné, S. N. Piramanayagam, R. Sbiaa

Interfacial engineering provides an effective route to tailor chiral magnetic interactions in thin-film heterostructures relevant for spintronic applications. In this work, we investigate the influence of top capping layers on perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and interfacial Dzyaloshinskii…

Spatiotemporal terahertz emission nanoscopy of spintronic photocurrent

Felix Paries, Reza Rouzegar, Jiahua Cai, Mingcong Dai, Felix Selz, Johanna Koelbel, Geoffrey Lezier, Nicolas Tiercelin, Daniel Molter, Daniel M Mittleman, Georg von Freymann, Xiaojun Wu, Tom S Seifert

Capturing ultrafast spin and charge photocurrents on nanoscopic scales is essential for fundamental research in physics and engineering, as well as for future applications, such as novel spin-orbitronic devices. Accessing the fundamental dynamics driven by changes in electronic energy, linear…

Localized phonon-polaritons in natural mineral particles extend to atmospheric scales

Jeyan Bichon, Hervé Herbin, J-F Lampin, D Petitprez, Romain Peretti, S Eliet-Barois

Localized phonon-polaritons confine electromagnetic fields to subwavelength dimensions and are widely studied in engineered photonic structures. Whether this light-matter physics can arise intrinsically in naturally occurring, free-standing solid particles has remained unexplored. Here we show that…

A trick of the tail: how electrostatics helps a DNA repair enzyme to localize on nucleosomes

Safwen Ghediri, Guillaume Brysbaert, Fabrizio Cleri, Ralf Blossey

Electrostatic interactions are key to the recognition processes of proteins and DNA and have been previously documented for the action of repair enzymes. Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is the first in a sequence of enzymes that act in the base-excision repair process (BER) and whose task is the…

Storing sensor events in the interconnection strength of conducting polymer dendrites

Antoine Baron, Bilel Hafsi, Enrique H. Balaguera, Sébastien Pecqueur

If electronics drives only electrons to charge electrodes, natural systems learn by moving matter to evolve. Morphogenesis in sessile organisms can be seen both as a fabrication process and as an operative mechanism. However, intricating manufacturing and programming functionalities in electronic…

Measurement of magnetic loss in ferromagnetic lamella using high sensitivity piezo-magnetic surface acoustic wave sensor

Othmane Marbouh, Gaétan Sanchez, Aurelien Mazzamurro, Mohamed Boutghatin, Olivier Bou Matar, Yannick Dusch, Romain Viard, Aymen Ammar, Philippe Pernod, Nicolas Tiercelin, Abdelmounaim Tounzi, Abdelkader Benabou, Abdelkrim Talbi

Magnetic field sensors combining surface acoustic waves (SAW) and magnetostrictive thin films have shown promising sensitivity in laboratory studies, but their translation into real-world applications has remained limited. In this work, we report the first practical deployment of a shear-horizontal…

Beyond the Spectrum: Measuring More Than Microwave Sensors [Women in Microwaves]

Siti Amalina Enche Ab Rahim, Zuhani Ismail Khan, Megat Syahirul Amin Megat Ali, Nor Ayu Zalina Zakaria, Kamel Haddadi

When I first began my journey in microwave engineering, I never imagined how far it would take me, not only across technologies but across borders, disciplines, and perspectives. What started as a fascination with resonators and circuits has evolved into a journey that connects people, ideas, and…
