Nanometal plasmon polaritons

Abdellatif Akjouj, Gaëtan Lévêque, Sabine Szunerits, Yan Pennec, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani, Rabah Boukherroub, L. Dobrzynski

A nanometal is a nanometric metallic structure. A plasmon is a collective excitation of an electron gas. A plasmon polariton is a plasmon coupled to an electromagnetic wave. Whereas plasmons in bulk metal do not couple to light fields, a thin metal film can sustain surface polaritons when excited…

Enhanced gold film-coupled graphene-based plasmonic nanosensor

Rana Nicolas, Thomas Maurer, Gaëtan Lévêque, P. Subramanian, Julien Proust, Jérémie Béal, Silvere Schuermans, Jean-Pierre Vilcot, Z. Herro, M. Kazan, Jerome Plain, Rabah Boukherroub, Abdellatif Akjouj, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani, Pierre-Michel Adam, Sabine Szunerits

In this work, a trilayer graphene is used as a thin non dielectric spacer with a high index of refraction, between Au film and Au NPs. Encouraged by the sharpness of the localized surface plasmon resonance LSPR induced by this system, we performed sensitivity measurements to refractive index change…

Stress-mediated magnetoelectric memory effect with uni-axial TbCo2/FeCo multilayer on 011-cut PMN-PT ferroelectric relaxor

Yannick Dusch, Nicolas Tiercelin, A. Klimov, S. Giordano, Vladimir Preobrazhensky, Philippe Pernod

We present here the implementation of a magnetoelectric memory with a voltage driven writing method using a ferroelectric relaxor substrate. The memory point consists of a magnetoelastic element in which two orthogonal stable magnetic states are defined by combining uni-axial anisotropy together…

A tutorial survey on waves propagating in periodic media: electronic, photonic and phononic crystals. Perception of Bloch theorem in both real and Fourier domains

Joseph Gazalet, Samuel Dupont, Jean-Claude Kastelik, Quentin Rolland, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani

This paper presents a review of the most widely-used methods in order to determine the structure of eigenmodes propagating in periodic materials. Both real and Fourier domain methods are outlined. The basic concepts such as eigensolutions and their k-labeling, reciprocal lattice, Brillouin zones,…

Scanning Gate Spectroscopy of transport across a Quantum Hall Nano-Island

F. Martins, S. Faniel, B. Rosenow, M. G. Pala, Hermann Sellier, Serge Huant, L. Desplanque, X. Wallart, Vincent Bayot, B. Hackens

We explore transport across an ultra-small Quantum Hall Island (QHI) formed by closed quan- tum Hall edge states and connected to propagating edge channels through tunnel barriers. Scanning gate microscopy and scanning gate spectroscopy are used to first localize and then study a single QHI near a…

Planning the electron traffic in semiconductor networks: A mesoscopic analog of the Braess paradox encountered in road networks

Serge Huant, S. Baltazar, Peng Liu, Hermann Sellier, B. Hackens, F. Martins, Vincent Bayot, X. Wallart, L. Desplanque, M. G. Pala

By combining quantum simulations of electron transport and scanning-gate microscopy, we have shown that the current transmitted through a semiconductor two-path rectangular network in the ballistic and coherent regimes of transport can be paradoxically degraded by adding a third path to the network…

Ultrafast optical technique for measuring the electrical dependence of the elasticity of piezoelectric thin film : demonstration on AlN

Arnaud Devos, P. Emery, E. Defay, N. Ben Hassine, G. Parat

We present a technique based on ultrafast acoustics which permits us to measure the electrical dependence of the elastic properties of a thin piezoelectric layer. Ultrafast acoustics offers a unique way of measuring elastic properties of thin-layer in a non-destructive way using ultrashort optical…
