- We show detection of CO2 concentrations as low as 500 ppm using a suspended silicon photonic mid-IR waveguide. The performance is enabled by the low propagation loss (2.35 ±0.25) dB/cm permitting sensing with waveguides up to 7 cm in length.

- Measuring vibrations is essential to ensuring building structural safety and machine stability. Predictive maintenance is a central internet of things (IoT) application within the new industrial revolution, where sustainability and performance increase over time are going to be paramount. To reduce the footprint and cost of vibration sensors while improving their performance, new sensor concepts are needed. Here, double-layer graphene membranes are utilized with a suspended silicon proof demonstrating their operation as resonant vibration sensors that show outstanding performance for a given footprint and proof mass. The unveiled sensing effect is based on resonant transduction and has important implications for experimental studies involving thin nano and micro mechanical resonators that are excited by an external shaker.

Graphene waveguide-integrated thermal infrared emitter

In: Device Research Conference - Conference Digest, DRC. - : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Low-cost and easily integrable mid-infrared (MIR) sources are highly desired for photonic integrated circuits. Thermal incandescent MIR sources are widely used. They work by Joule heating, i.e. an electrical current through the emitter causes thermal emission according to Planck's law. Their simple design with only two contact pads makes them integrable with typical optoelectronic components in high-volume production flows. Graphene's emissivity is comparable to common metallic emitters. In contrast to the latter, graphene is transparent at MIR wavelengths, which enables placing large area graphene emitters in the evanescent field of integrated waveguides [1]-[2]. This enhances emission by near-field coupling directly into the waveguide mode, avoiding the mode-mismatch to free space. Here, we present the first experimental demonstration of a graphene emitter placed directly on a photonic waveguide, hence emitting directly into the waveguide mode.

The Schottky barrier transistor in emerging electronic devices
- 2023
-
In: Nanotechnology. - 1361-6528 .- 0957-4484. ; 34:35
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper explores how the Schottky barrier (SB) transistor is used in a variety of applications and material systems. A discussion of SB formation, current transport processes, and an overview of modeling are first considered. Three discussions follow, which detail the role of SB transistors in high performance, ubiquitous and cryogenic electronics. For high performance computing, the SB typically needs to be minimized to achieve optimal performance and we explore the methods adopted in carbon nanotube technology and two-dimensional electronics. On the contrary for ubiquitous electronics, the SB can be used advantageously in source-gated transistors and reconfigurable field-effect transistors (FETs) for sensors, neuromorphic hardware and security applications. Similarly, judicious use of an SB can be an asset for applications involving Josephson junction FETs.
