Slowing the Kinetics of Alumina Sol-Gel Chemistry for Controlled Catalyst Overcoating and Improved Catalyst Stability and Selectivity

Jeremy Luterbacher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Yuan-Peng Du

Catalyst overcoating is an emerging approach to engineer surface functionalities on supported metal catalyst and improve catalyst selectivity and durability. Alumina deposition on high surface area material by sol–gel chemistry is traditionally difficult t ...

A passivating contact concept compatible with a short thermal treatment

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Andrea Ingenito, Matthieu Despeisse, Gizem Nogay, Philippe Wyss, Josua Andreas Stückelberger

In this study we present a boron-doped silicon carbide layers as a hole-selective contact which is compatible with short annealing time (typically < 1 minute) as the one used for firing of metal pastes. The application of such layers on symmetrically proce ...

Port: A Piezoelectric Optical Resonance Tuner

Tobias Kippenberg, Michail Zervas

This abstract presents an aluminum nitride (AlN) piezoelectric actuator for tuning optical resonance modes of silicon nitride photonic resonators. The AlN actuator is fabricated on top of a thick silicon dioxide cladding that encapsulates the nitride reson ...

Post-Sputtering Heat Treatments of Molybdenum on Silicon Wafer

Chien-Jen Yang

This paper investigated the property evolutions of Mo thin films that were subjected to post-sputtering heat treatments from 700 degrees C to 1100 degrees C. It was found that, after annealing, the use of Si wafers eliminated crack formations found in prev ...

van der Waals Bonded Co/h-BN Contacts to Ultrathin Black Phosphorus Devices

Ahmet Avsar, Xin Luo

Because of the chemical inertness of two dimensional (2D) hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN), few atomic-layer hBN is often used to encapsulate air-sensitive 2D crystals such as black phosphorus (BP). However, the effects of h-BN on Schottky barrier height, do ...

Thin-Wall GaN/InAlN Multiple Quantum Well Tubes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté

Thin-wall tubes composed of nitride semiconductors (III-N compounds) based on GaN/InAlN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are fabricated by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy in a simple and full III-N approach. The synthesis of such MQW-tubes is based on the gr ...

Effect of Boron Doping On Graphene Oxide for Ammonia Adsorption

Andreas Züttel, Heena Yang, Youngdon Ko

Boron doped graphene oxide (B-GO) is a highly effective adsorbent for ammonia due to the high density of strong Lewis acid sites arising from the boron. GO was doped by various amounts of boron described as xB-GO (x= 1.0, 3.0, and 5.0). B-GO was successful ...
