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…

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…

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…

Non-Hermitian skin effect in a phononic beam based on piezoelectric feedback control

Yabin Jin, Wenxin Zhong, Runcheng Cai, Xiaoying Zhuang, Yan Pennec, Bahram Djafari-Rouhani

Non-Hermitian systems have gained a great deal of interest in various wave problems due their ability of exhibiting unprecedented phenomena such as invisibility, cloaking, enhanced sensing, or the skin effect. The latter manifests itself by the localization of all bulk modes in a specific frequency…

Monolayer molybdenum disulfide switches for 6G communication systems

Myungsoo Kim, Guillaume Ducournau, Simon Skrzypczak, Sung Jin Yang, Pascal Szriftgiser, Nicolas Wainstein, Keren Stern, Henri Happy, Eilam Yalon, Emiliano Pallecchi, Deji Akinwande

Atomically thin two-dimensional materials—including transitional metal dichalcogenides and hexagonal boron nitride—can exhibit non-volatile resistive switching. This switching behaviour could be used to create analogue switches for use in high-frequency communication, but has so far been limited to…

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…

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…

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…
