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…

Design of GaN based optical modulator with Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure

R.W. Purnamaningsih, N.R. Poespawati, Irma Saraswati, El Hadj Dogheche

In this work we have designed a Mach Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for electro optic modulator at telecommunication wavelength using GaN on Sapphire. The knowledge of GaN sample optical properties were also investigated, resulting refractive index for the GaN layers were found to be nTE=2.279±0.001…

Bandwidth enhancement in disordered metamaterial absorbers

Jianping Hao, Eric Lheurette, Ludovic Burgnies, Etienne Okada, Didier Lippens

In this letter, we show numerically and experimentally that a positional disorder of a collection of absorbing electromagnetic wave resonators operating in the long wavelength regime dramatically enhances the absorption bandwidth. The demonstration is performed by using single-size ring-shaped thin…

Characterisation of early HepG2/3a cell response to a microfluidic culture in liver biochips using multi-parametric real time image processing

Marie Naudot, Patrick Paullier, Thomas Dargent, Vincent Senez, Zaher Kharboutly, Isabelle Claude, Eric Leclerc

We developed an image processing protocol to perform time lapse fluorescent analysis in microfluidic biochips. Using three probes to follow three parameters: the number of cell nucleus, the mitochondrial activity and the cell death, we have investigated the behaviour of HepG2/C3a under microfluidic…

Ion-beam effect on functional properties of La2Ti2O7 piezoelectric thin films and nanoislands

A. Ferri, S. Saitzek, Z. Shao, A. Bayart, G. Declercq, Jean Costecalde, Denis Remiens, D. Deresmes, David Troadec, Rachel Desfeux

Low-dimensional material can display unique physical phenomena allowing an interesting way for the development of new technologies. In addition, owing the environmental requirements about electronic devices (ferroelectric memories, M/NEMS...), new lead-free piezoelectrics need to be created. In…

The resonance/thickness prediction of an ultra-thin layer by the low-frequency ultrasound

Gui-Jin Yao, Wei-Jiang Xu, Ke-Xie Wang

A prediction method of the thickness, resonant space and frequency for the two cases of an ultra-thin layer and the narrow-band frequency spectra has been developed without the appearance of the resonance/anti-resonance. Using the characteristic of straight line and the period of π of the layer…

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…

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…

A Novel Dog-Bone Oscillating AFM Probe with Thermal Actuation and Piezoresistive Detection

Zhuang Xiong, Estelle Mairiaux, Benjamin Walter, Marc Faucher, Lionel Buchaillot, Bernard Legrand

In order to effectively increase the resonance frequency and the quality factor of atomic force microscope (AFM) probes, a novel oscillating probe based on a dog-bone shaped MEMS resonator was conceived, designed, fabricated and evaluated. The novel probe with 400 μm in length, 100 μm in width and…
