Polymer based flapping-wing robotic insect : progress in design, fabrication and characterization

Alexandre Bontemps, Thomas Vanneste, Caroline Soyer, Jean-Bernard Paquet, Sébastien Grondel, Eric Cattan

In the last decade, many researchers pursued the development of tiny flying robots inspired by natural flyers destined for the exploration of confined spaces, for example. Within this context, our main objective is to devise a flying robot bioinspired from insect in terms of size and wing…

Electrical and chemical studies on Al2O3 passivation activation process

Matthieu Pawlik, Jean-Pierre Vilcot, Mathieu Halbwax, D. Aureau, A. Etcheberry, A. Slaoui, T. Schutz-Kuchly, R. Cabal

Passivation process is a key feature to improve the efficiency of silicon solar cells. So far, a 20nm-thick layer of Al2O3 grown by Plasma Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition (PE-ALD) followed by a 450°C anneal during 15 to 30 min gives the best results in surface carrier recombination velocities on p…

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…

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…

Nonlinear measurement of non periodic pulse train with mixer based NVNA dedicated to radar power amplifier

Vincent Bridier, Damien Ducatteau, Maxime Olivier, Hans-Joachim Simon, François Graux, Philippe Eudeline, Gilles Dambrine

A measurement of time domain waveforms using a commercial two ports mixer based NVNA to measure a non periodic repetitive radar pulse train as a periodic one was performed. Then for the first time a 20GHz six port mixer based NVNA able to measure three different frequencies at the same time is…

Electrowetting and semiconductors

S. Arscott

Electrowetting is coming to fruition for many applications such as display technologies, droplet transport, smart optics, flexible systems, remote switching, electronic paper, miniaturized chemistry and energy harvesting. Surprisingly, although most of the workings of this technology have been…

Experimental demonstration of anomalous nonreciprocal optical response of 1D periodic magnetoplasmonic nanostructures

L. Halagacka, Mathias Vanwolleghem, Francois Vaurette, Jamal Ben Youssef, Philippe Gogol, N. Yam, K. Postava, B. Dagens, J. Pistora

In this paper we analyze the optical and transversal magnetooptical (MO) response of magnetoplasmonic (MP) nanostructures. The MP structure is a 1D periodic gold grating fabricated by lift-off technique on the MO dielectric substrate (Bi-substituted yttrium iron garnet BixY3−xFe5O12). Following our…

Wave propagation in layered piezoelectric rectangular bar : an extended orthogonal polynomial approach

J.G. Yu, C. Zhang, Jean-Etienne Lefebvre

Wave propagation in multilayered piezoelectric structures has received much attention in past forty years. But the research objects of previous research works are only for semi-infinite structures and one-dimensional structures, i.e., structures with a finite dimension in only one direction, such…
