Des lignes coplanaires sont réalisées sur un film souple de Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) de 182 μm d'épaisseur. Après avoir mesuré les paramètres [S] de ces lignes, des algorithmes ajustent la permittivité complexe du matériau pour que les valeurs des constantes de propagation extraites des…

Dirac cones, topological edge states, and nontrivial flat bands in two-dimensional semiconductors with a honeycomb nanogeometry

Efterpi Kalesaki, Christophe Delerue, Cristiane Morais Smith, Wouter Beugeling, Guy Allan, Daniel Vanmaekelbergh

We study theoretically two-dimensional single-crystalline sheets of semiconductors that form a honeycomb lattice with a period below 10 nm. These systems could combine the usual semiconductor properties with Dirac bands. Using atomistic tight-binding calculations, we show that both the atomic…

Optimized V-shape design of GaN nanodiodes for the generation of Gunn oscillations

J.F. Millithaler, I. Iniguez-De-La-Torre, A. Iniguez-De-La-Torre, T. Gonz Alez, P. Sangaré, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, J. Mateos

In this work, recent advances in the design of GaN planar Gunn diodes with asymmetric shape, socalled self-switching diodes, are presented. A particular geometry for the nanodiode is proposed, referred as V-shape, where the width of the channel is intentionally increased as approaching the anode.…

On the effect of δ-doping in self-switching diodes

Andreas Westlund, Ignacio Iñiguez-De-La-Torre, Per-Åke Nilsson, Tomas González, Javier Mateos, Paul Sangaré, Guillaume Ducournau, Christophe Gaquière, L. Desplanque, Xavier Wallart, Jan Grahn

Lowering the carrier concentration is presented as a way to considerably improve the performance of self-switching diode (SSD) detectors. A physics-based theoretical model was used to derive an expression for the responsivity of SSDs as a function of carrier concentration, mobility, and design…

Effect of polarization switching cycles on the dielectric response and Rayleigh constant in Pb0.4Sr0.6TiO3 thin films

Kui Li, Xianlin Dong, Denis R Émiens, Tao Li, Ying Chen, Genshui Wang

Pb0.4Sr0.6TiO3 thin films with good fatigue endurance were crystallized at low temperature compatible with the current semiconductor technology. The effect of polarization switching cycles on the ferroelectric properties, dielectric response, and Rayleigh constant in thin films were systematically…

Dispersion properties and low infrared optical losses in epitaxial AlN on sapphire substrate in the visible and infrared range

Ali Soltani, Arnaud Stolz, Joël Charrier, Maghnia Mattalah, Jean-Claude Gerbedoen, Hassan Ali Barkad, Vincent Mortet, Michel Rousseau, Nour Eddine Bourzgui, Ali Benmoussa, Jean-Claude de Jaeger

Optical waveguiding properties of a thick wurtzite aluminum nitride highly [002]-textured hetero-epitaxial film on (001) basal plane of sapphire substrate are studied. The physical properties of the film are determined by X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, microRaman, and photocurrent…

Synthesis and electrical characterisations of a low work function cesium oxide coating for high efficiency thermionic energy converter

François Morini, J.F. Robillard, Stéphane Monfray, I.D. Baikie, Thomas Skotnicki, Emmanuel Dubois

One main challenge associated with solid-state thermoelectric materials is to combine electron-crystal electrical conductivity and phonon-glass thermal properties that are difficult to conciliate. A markedly different principle of thermoelectric conversion is based on the micro-thermionic generator…

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of absorbing materials and of metamaterials

Jean-Louis Coutaz, M. Bernier, Frédéric Garet, S. Joly, Y. Miyake, H. Minamide, Eric Lheurette, Didier Lippens

This paper gives a review of recent works we performed in view of characterizing natural materials and metamaterials by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We address materials that exhibit a low transmittance in given narrow spectral bands or over the whole experimental spectral window. We give…
