Competing effects of charge-carrier and impurity scattering limiting phonon heat conduction in heavily-doped silicon

Raja Sen, Juan Carlos Acosta Abanto, Mélanie Brouillard, Séverine Gomès, Jean-François Robillard, Alessandro Ciavatta, Lorenzo Paulatto, Nathalie Vast, Jérôme Saint-Martin, Jelena Sjakste, Pierre-Olivier Chapuis

With respect to undoped semiconductors, thermal transport by phonons is limited by two additional mechanisms when doping increases: charge-carrier and impurity scattering. Previous works provided contradicting conclusions on the dominant doping-induced scattering mechanism in silicon. In this work…

On the importance of Ni–Au–Ga interdiffusion in the formation of a Ni–Au/p-GaN ohmic contact

Jules Duraz, Hassen Souissi, Maksym Gromovyi, David Troadec, Téo Baptiste, Géraldine Hallais, Nathaniel Findling, Phuong Vuong, Rajat Gujrati, Thi May Tran, Jean-Paul Salvestrini, Maria Tchernycheva, Suresh Sundaram, Abdallah Ougazzaden, Gilles Patriarche, Sophie Bouchoule

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coupled to energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) is used to clarify the exact role of Ni-Au-Ga interdiffusion mechanisms taking place during rapid thermal annealing under an oxygen atmosphere of a Ni-Au/p-GaN contact. It is shown that…

Comment on “Influence of layer thickness on time domain Brillouin scattering oscillation amplitude in multilayer films” [J. Appl. Phys. 136, 225302 (2024)]

Simon Ayrinhac, Arnaud Devos, Benoît Rufflé, Marie Foret

Picosecond acoustics allows for the probing of multilayered nanometric structures, with applications in various fields of fundamental research. In a recent study, Zhang et al.1 have reexamined the optical cavity effect that impacts time-domain Brillouin acoustic spectroscopy (TDBS) in such systems…

DeeCLIP: A Robust and Generalizable Transformer-Based Framework for Detecting AI-Generated Images

Mamadou Keita, Wassim Hamidouche, Hessen Bougueffa Eutamene, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed, Abdenour Hadid

This paper introduces DeeCLIP, a novel framework for detecting AI-generated images using CLIP-ViT and fusion learning. Despite significant advancements in generative models capable of creating highly photorealistic images, existing detection methods often struggle to generalize across different…

Beyond Linear Bottlenecks: Spline-Based Knowledge Distillation for Culturally Diverse Art Style Classification

Abdellah Zakaria Sellam, Salah Eddine Bekhouche, Cosimo Distante, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed

Art style classification remains a formidable challenge in computational aesthetics due to the scarcity of expertly labeled datasets and the intricate, often nonlinear interplay of stylistic elements. While recent dual-teacher self-supervised frameworks reduce reliance on labeled data, their linear…

Single-Path Precision: Differentiable Bit-Width & Numeric-Format Learning for FPGA-Efficient Neural Networks

Emanuel Trabes, Kawthar Dellel, Carlos Valderrama, Abdelmalik Taleb-Ahmed

Quantization in neural networks typically requires early commitment to a fixed numerical format—either fixed-point or floating-point—and a limited set of word sizes supported by the target hardware. This rigid choice often compromises either model accuracy or hardware efficiency. While FPGAs offer…

Steerable Thin-Film Electrode Array for Cochlear Implantation: Design and Development for Future Atraumatic Insertion

Ahmad Itawi, Bacem Zribi, Prabhakar Sidambaram, Thanh Hang Tran, Guillaume Tourrel, Renato Torres, Sofiane Ghenna, Sébastien Grondel, Yann Nguyen, Cedric Plesse, Eric Cattan

During cochlear implant surgery, standard electrode arrays are inserted into the scala tympani to stimulate the spiral ganglion cells and rehabilitate hearing in deaf patients. However, conventional electrode arrays' stiffness and passive nature lead to potential trauma or incomplete insertion…

Combined Influence of Precursor Source and Solvent Type on Microstructural and Optical Properties of Spin-Coated ZnO Thin Films

Alphonse Déssoudji Gboglo, Mazabalo Baneto, Ognanmi Ako, Abdoul-Razak Ali-Tagba, Bruno Grandidier, Kekeli N’konou

The present work investigates the combined effect of precursor source and solvent on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of ZnO thin films prepared by the spin-coating technique. Three precursor sources (zinc acetate dihydrate, zinc chloride, and zinc nitrate hexahydrate) and four…
