On the effect of δ-doping in self-switching diodes

Andreas Westlund, Ignacio Iñiguez-De-La-Torre, Per-Åke Nilsson, Tomas González, Javier Mateos, Paul Sangaré, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, L. Desplanque, Xavier Wallart, Jan Grahn

Lowering the carrier concentration is presented as a way to considerably improve the performance of self-switching diode (SSD) detectors. A physics-based theoretical model was used to derive an expression for the responsivity of SSDs as a function of carrier concentration, mobility, and design...

Optimized V-shape design of GaN nanodiodes for the generation of Gunn oscillations

J.F. Millithaler, I. Iniguez-De-La-Torre, A. Iniguez-De-La-Torre, T. Gonz Alez, P. Sangaré, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, J. Mateos

In this work, recent advances in the design of GaN planar Gunn diodes with asymmetric shape, socalled self-switching diodes, are presented. A particular geometry for the nanodiode is proposed, referred as V-shape, where the width of the channel is intentionally increased as approaching the anode....

Synthesis and electrical characterisations of a low work function cesium oxide coating for high efficiency thermionic energy converter

François Morini, J.F. Robillard, Stéphane Monfray, I.D. Baikie, Thomas Skotnicki, Emmanuel Dubois

One main challenge associated with solid-state thermoelectric materials is to combine electron-crystal electrical conductivity and phonon-glass thermal properties that are difficult to conciliate. A markedly different principle of thermoelectric conversion is based on the micro-thermionic generator...

Conception d'un réseau de capteurs acoustiques passifs pour un contrôle-santé intégré basse consommation et non-intrusif des structures aéronautiques et conduites de transport de fluides

Karl Hourany, Farouk Benmeddour, Emmanuel Moulin, Youssef Zaatar, Jamal Assaad

La corrélation d'un champ acoustique permet de caractériser un milieu de façon passive, cette étude a commencé à se développer depuis plusieurs années dans différentes applications de contrôle santé intégré (CSI). Une brève explication d'une étude faite précédemment pour la détection des...

Train accurate localization using ultra wide band radio and time reversal

Bouna Fall, Fouzia Elbahhar, Marc Heddebaut, Atika Rivenq

In guided transport, the precise localization of trains is vital for nominal operation of the transport system. In a propagation environment such as a railway line, an effective localization sensor is complex to design since it must operate in the presence of many fixed and mobile obstacles...

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of absorbing materials and of metamaterials

Jean-Louis Coutaz, M. Bernier, Frédéric Garet, S. Joly, Y. Miyake, H. Minamide, Eric Lheurette, Didier Lippens

This paper gives a review of recent works we performed in view of characterizing natural materials and metamaterials by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We address materials that exhibit a low transmittance in given narrow spectral bands or over the whole experimental spectral window. We give...

Dirac cones, topological edge states, and nontrivial flat bands in two-dimensional semiconductors with a honeycomb nanogeometry

Efterpi Kalesaki, Christophe Delerue, Cristiane Morais Smith, Wouter Beugeling, Guy Allan, Daniel Vanmaekelbergh

We study theoretically two-dimensional single-crystalline sheets of semiconductors that form a honeycomb lattice with a period below 10 nm. These systems could combine the usual semiconductor properties with Dirac bands. Using atomistic tight-binding calculations, we show that both the atomic...

Pulse compression waveforms design and Cross-ambiguity processing for Radar applications

Nadjah Touati, Charles Tatkeu, Atika Rivenq, Yassin El Hillali, Thierry Chonavel

Radar waveforms design is an important step to design a hole radar system. In this paper, several waveforms based on modified Costas codes are used. The properties and performances are tested and compared. We propose a detection based on cross-ambiguity calculation for these waveforms. Indeed, such...

A real-time terahertz beam monitoring application with a 1024-pixel CMOS terahertz camera module

Richard Al Hadi, Jean-Francois Lampin, Ullrich Pfeiffer

In this paper a terahertz beam monitoring application of an optically pumped molecular terahertz laser with a 1024-pixel CMOS terahertz camera is presented. The terahertz camera has been used to detect variations in real-time of the terahertz source beam around 2.52 THz.
