Review on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Assisted Sensor Node Localization in Wireless Networks: Soft Computing Approaches

Visalakshi Annepu, Deepika Rani Sona, Chinthaginjala Ravikumar, Kalapraveen Bagadi, Mohammad Alibakhshikenari, Ayman Althuwayb, Bader Alali, Bal Virdee, Giovanni Pau, Iyad Dayoub, Chan Hwang See, Francisco Falcone

Node positioning or localization is a critical requisite for numerous position-based applications of wireless sensor network (WSN). Localization using the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is preferred over localization using fixed terrestrial anchor node (FTAN) because of low implementation complexity…

Picosecond acoustics versus tape adhesion test: Confrontation on a series of similar samples with a variable adhesion

A. Vital-Juarez, L. Roffi, J.-M. Desmarres, Arnaud Devos

A large number of methods have been developed to characterize the adhesion of a thin film to a substrate. Among them, tape test is still one of the most popular methods. Acoustic waves and especially ultra-high frequency acoustic waves are also sensitive to adhesion defects as they affect the way…

Electro-Acoustic Properties of Scandium-Doped Aluminum Nitride (Sc_xAl_1-xN) Material and its Application to Phononic Crystal-Coupled SAW Devices

Fahima Arab, Fares Kanouni, Rafik Serhane, Yan Pennec, Zafer Özer, Khaled Bouamama

Within the framework of the Density Functional Theory, the elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric coefficients of w-ScxAl1−xN material were investigated for scandium (Sc) concentrations x = 0 to 0.375. The electro-acoustic properties are used to investigate the frequency response of the SAW delay…

Terphenylthiazole-based self-assembled monolayers on cobalt with high conductance photo-switching ratio for spintronics

Vladimir Prudkovskiy, Imane Arbouch, Anne Léaustic, Pei Yu, Colin van Dyck, David Guérin, Stéphane Lenfant, Talal Mallah, Jérôme Cornil, Dominique Vuillaume

Two new photo-switchable terphenylthiazole molecules are synthesized and self-assembled as monolayers on Au and on ferromagnetic Co electrodes. The electron transport properties probed by conductive atomic force microscopy in ultra-high vacuum reveal a larger conductance of the light-induced closed…

How to tame a free non-laminar Savart sheet into individual jets?

Sofiene Oulded Taled Salah, Ghada Chouk, Alexis Duchesne, Nicolas de Cock, Khaoula Abrougui, Frédéric Lebeau, Stéphane Dorbolo

In this article, we study the division of a non-laminar Savart sheet into individual jets by mean of local disturbances. We paint a precise portrait of a free non-laminar Savart sheet formed by the vertical impact of a jet on a horizontal disk, its evolution in the air and its break up. We then…

Low Buffer Trapping Effects above 1200 V in Normally off GaN-on-Silicon Field Effect Transistors

Idriss Abid, Youssef Hamdaoui, Jash Mehta, Joff Derluyn, Farid Medjdoub

We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of AlGaN/GaN normally off transistors on silicon designed for high-voltage operation. The normally off configuration was achieved with a p-gallium nitride (p-GaN) cap layer below the gate, enabling a positive threshold voltage higher than…

High Breakdown Field and Low Trapping Effects up to 1400 V in Normally Off GaN‐on‐Silicon Heterostructures

Idriss Abid, Youssef Hamdaoui, Jash Mehta, F Medjdoub

In this study, we report on the development of a fully normally-off high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) gallium nitride on silicon (GaN-on-Si) heterostructures designed for high voltage operation. The normally-off configuration was achieved by means of a p-gallium nitride (p-GaN) cap layer…

Embroidered Spoof Surface Plasmon Polariton Transmission Line for Wireless Body Sensor Network

Ali Ghaddar, Baptiste Garnier, François Rault, Eric Lheurette, Ludovic Burgnies

A wearable Spoof Surface Plasmon Polariton Transmission Line (SSPP TL) operating at 2.45 GHz designed for embroidery production and on-body communication is proposed. The SSPP TL supports both even and odd modes launched by near field coupling with a dipole antenna perpendicular and parallel to the…

Combination of selective area sublimation of p-GaN and regrowth of AlGaN for the co-integration of enhancement mode and depletion mode high electron mobility transistors

Thi Huong Ngo, Rémi Comyn, Sébastien Chenot, Julien Brault, Benjamin Damilano, Stephane Vezian, Eric Frayssinet, Flavien Cozette, Nicolas Defrance, François Lecourt, Nathalie Labat, Hassan Maher, Yvon Cordier

We report on the fabrication of an enhancement mode p-GaN/AlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor with selective area sublimation under vacuum of the p-GaN cap layer. The GaN evaporation selectivity is demonstrated on the thin 2 nm AlN barrier layer. Furthermore, the regrowth of AlGaN is a major…

Frequency response optimization of P-I-N photodiode based on InGaAsN lattice matched to GaAs for High-Speed photodetection applications

R. Amraoui, Abdelkader Aissat, Jean-Pierre Vilcot, Didier Decoster

This paper reports on pin photodiode frequency response optimization based on InxGa1-xAs1-yNy quaternary lattice matched to GaAs. Two transparent layers are placed on p-side and n-side in order to manage the photodiode frequency response limitations. The lattice matching condition is calculated in…
