Electro-optic and converse-piezoelectric properties of epitaxial GaN grown on silicon by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

Mireille Cuniot-Ponsard, Irma Saraswati, S.M. Ko, Mathieu Halbwax, Y.H. Cho, El Hadj Dogheche

We report the measurement of the (r13, r33) Pockels electro-optic coefficients in a GaN thin film grown on a Si(111) substrate. The converse piezoelectric (d33) and electro-absorptive coefficients are simultaneously determined. Single crystalline GaN epitaxial layers were grown with a AlGaN buffer...

Enhanced efficiency by the effect of strain on the structure of a solar cell

Abdelkader Aissat, Rachid Bestam, M. El Bey, Jean-Pierre Vilcot

This paper is expected at the study of Ga1-xInxP/GaAs based solar cell. The effects of indium concentration, lattice parameter mismatch and thickness of the SiO2 insulating layer on the characteristics and efficiency of the Ga1-xInxP/GaAs structure were investigated. We noticed that for higher...

Hypersonic band gap in an AlN-TiN bilayer phononic crystal slab

S. Hemon, Abdellatif Akjouj, A. Soltani, Yan Pennec, Y. El Hassouani, Abdelkrim Talbi, V. Mortet, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani

We show both theoretically and experimentally the existence of a complete band gap in a phononic crystal (PnC) constituted by periodical air holes drilled in a solid bi-layer slab. The composite slab is formed with an aluminum nitride (AlN) layer deposited on a titanium nitride (TiN) thin metallic...

Optimization of the optical properties of nanostructured silicon surfaces for solar cell applications

Di Zhou, Yan Pennec, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani, Odile Cristini-Robbe, Tao Xu, Yannick Lambert, Yves Deblock, Marc Faucher, Didier Stiévenard

Surface nanostructuration is an important challenge for the optimization of light trapping in solar cell. We present simulations on both the optical properties and the efficiency of micro pillars--MPs--or nanocones--NCs--silicon based solar cells together with measurements on their associated...

Dielectric relaxation analysis of Pb(Zr_0.54,Ti_0.46)O₃ thin films: electric field dependence

Freddy Ponchel, N. Sama, Denis Remiens, T. Lasri

350 nm-thick Perovskite PbZr0.54Ti0.46O3 (PZT) thin films were deposited on Al2O3 substrates by sputtering with and without an additional 10-nm-thick TiOx buffer layer. X-ray diffraction patterns showed that in presence of TiOx buffer layer, PZT film was highly oriented along the (111) direction...

Cross-talk artefacts in Kelvin probe force microscopy imaging : a comprehensive study

Sophie Barbet, Michka Popoff, Heinrich Diesinger, D. Deresmes, Didier Theron, Thierry Melin

We provide in this article a comprehensive study of the role of ac cross-talk effects in Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM), and their consequences onto KPFM imaging. The dependence of KPFM signals upon internal parameters such as the cantilever excitation frequency and the projection angle of...

Negative effective mass density of acoustic metamaterial plate decorated with low frequency resonant pillars

Mourad Oudich, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani, Yan Pennec, M. Badreddine Assouar, Bernard Bonello

We investigate the elastic wave dispersion by a phononic metamaterial plate containing low frequency resonator stubs arranged periodically over the plate. We show that this system not only provides stop bands for wavelengths much larger than the periodicity but also displays negative behavior of...

Modeling and evaluation of power transmission of flapping wing nano air vehicle

Alexandre Bontemps, Sébastien Grondel, Thomas Vanneste, Samuel Dupont, Eric Cattan

In the last decade researchers pursued the development of tiny flying robots inspired by natural flyers. Within this context our main objective is to devise a flying robot-mimicking insect in terms of kinematics and scale using MEMS technologies. For this purpose, an original design has been...

Influence of processing gases on the properties of cold atmospheric plasma SiOxCy coatings

H. Hamze, Maude Jimenez, D. Deresmes, Arnaud Beaurain, Nicolas Nuns, Michel Traisnel

Thin layers of SiOxCy (y = 4−x and 3 ≤ x ≤ 4) were applied using a cold atmospheric plasma torch on glass substrates. The aim was to investigate using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (Tof-Sims) the influence of...

Enhancement of thermoelectric power factor in NaxCoO2/Au multilayers

Xiaohui Zhao, Haifeng Wang, Shufang Wang, El Hadj Dogheche, Jianglong Wang, Guangsheng Fu

NaxCoO2/Au thin film multilayers, with a thickness of the Au layer of 0.5–12 nm, have been fabricated on c-Al2O3 by post annealing of the CoO/Au thin film multilayers in Na vapor at high temperature in air. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that the resulting NaxCoO2 layer was c-axis oriented...
