Investigation of optical and chemical bond properties of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride for optoelectronics applications

Etienne Herth, H Desré, Emmanuelle Algré, Christiane I. Legrand, Tuami Lasri

The aim of this work is to determine optimal deposition parameters of silicon nitride for optical applications. The authors present the investigation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride SiNx:H deposited by the low temperature PECVD method in high frequency reactors. The study of hydrogen…

A study on millimetre-wave tunable bandpass filter based on polymer cap deflection

S. Seok, J.G. Kim, N. Rolland, P.A. Rolland

This paper presents a new tuning mechanism for millimetre-wave BPF based on deflection of the BCB membrane of BCB packaging cap. A 3-pole parallel-coupled microstrip filter operating at 60 GHz is first implemented on 30 µm-thick BCB polymer substrate and then BCB-capped through our new anti-…

Experimental evidence of zero-angle refraction and acoustic wave-phase control in a two-dimensional solid/solid phononic crystal

Jerome O. Vasseur, B. Morvan, A. Tinel, N. Swinteck, Anne-Christine Hladky, P.A. Deymier

The square symmetry of the equifrequency contour of longitudinal waves in a solid/solid two-dimensional phononic crystal (PC) is shown through numerical calculations and experiments to lead to peculiar propagation phenomena. A slab of steel/epoxy PC immersed in water refracts incident longitudinal…

Tight-binding calculations of the optical properties of HgTe nanocrystals

Guy Allan, Christophe Delerue

We propose a tight-binding model of HgTe which gives an accurate band structure in a wide energy range compared to recent ab initio calculations. The inverted band structure near the Fermi level and its temperature dependence are also very well described. Using this parametrization, we study the…

Multifunctional solid/solid phononic crystal

N. Swinteck, Jerome O. Vasseur, Anne-Christine Hladky, Charles Croënne, S. Bringuier, P.A. Deymier

A two-dimensional, solid/solid phononic crystal (PC) comprised a square array of steel cylinders in epoxy is shown to perform a variety of spectral, wave vector, and phase-space functions. Over a range of operating frequencies, the PC’s elastic band structure shows uniquely shaped equifrequency…

Effect of heterostructure design on current-voltage characteristics in AlxGa1-xN/GaN double-barriers resonant tunneling diode

Mohamed Boucherit, Ali Soltani, Michel Rousseau, J.L. Farvacque, Jean-Claude de Jaeger

Ballistic transport in double-barriers resonant tunneling diodes based on GaN is investigated in this work using the non-equilibrium Green's functions formalism. The electron density of states, the electrons concentration, and the current-voltage characteristics are calculated taking into…

Generalized interface models for transport phenomena : unusual scale effects in composite nanomaterials

F. Pavanello, F. Manca, Pier Luca Palla, S. Giordano

The effective transport properties of heterogeneous nanoscale materials and structures are affected by several geometrical and physical factors. Among them, the presence of imperfect interfaces plays a central role being often at the origin of the scale effects. To describe real contacts between…

Nanometer-scale, quantitative composition mappings of InGaN layers from a combination of scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy

K. Pantzas, G. Patriarche, David Troadec, S. Gautier, T. Moudakir, S. Suresh, L. Largeau, O. Mauguin, P. L. Voss, A. Ougazzaden

Using elastic scattering theory we show that a small set of energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) measurements is sufficient to experimentally evaluate the scattering function of electrons in high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission microscopy (HAADF-STEM). We then demonstrate how…

A millimeter-wave elastomeric microstrip phase shifter

S. Hage-Ali, Yovan Orlic, Nicolas Tiercelin, Ronan Sauleau, Vladimir Preobrazhensky, Philippe Pernod, Philippe Coquet

This communication reports an innovative lowcost millimeter-wave microstrip phase shifter using the mechanical reconfiguration of a metallized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomeric ground plane. The reconfigurable ground plane is used to tune an air gap under a fused quartz substrate, inducing a…
