Halved Vivaldi Antenna With Reconfigurable Band Rejection

This letter presents a Vivaldi antenna having the capability of dynamically rejecting interferers, mainly aiming at multistandard communication with dynamic frequencies allocation. Only half of the Vivaldi is used and placed over a ground plane, which is s ...

Tunnel-FET architecture with improved performance due to enhanced gate modulation of the tunneling barrier

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Luca De Michielis, Livio Lattanzio, Pierpaolo Palestri, Luca Selmi

The Tunnel-FET (TFET) device is a gated reverse biased p-i-n junction whose working principle is based on the quantum mechanical Band-to-Band Tunneling (B2BT) mechanism [1]. The OFF-ON transition can be much more abrupt than for conventional MOSFETs, thus ...

Arcing in Very Large Area Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition Reactors

Boris Legradic

This thesis presents an investigation into arcing and parasitic plasmas in large area plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition reactors. Two types were investigated: RF breakdown in millimetric gaps in absence of plasma (e.g. dark space shielding), in a ...

Ion current rectification and rectification inversion in conical nanopores: a perm-selective view

Hubert Girault, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Dmitry Momotenko

Ionic transport in charged conical nanopores is known to give rise to ion current rectification. The present study shows that the rectification direction can be inverted when using electrolyte solutions at very low ionic strengths. To elucidate these pheno ...

Recombination coefficients of GaN-based laser diodes

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Julien Dorsaz, Luca Alex Milo Sulmoni

We measure the charge carrier recombination coefficients of InGaN quantum wells by analyzing the dynamical properties of (Al,In)GaN laser diodes emitting in the violet spectral range. Relaxation oscillations and turn-on delays are fitted to a rate equation ...

Transient Recovery Voltages in Vacuum Circuit Breakers Generated by the Interruption of Inrush Currents of Large Motors

Mario Paolone, Carlo Alberto Nucci

The switching of medium voltage electrical motors is typically realized by means of vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) essentially in view of their elevated number of switching cycles. As known, switching of VCBs generates important transient recovery voltages ...

A Time-Gated 128x128 CMOS SPAD Array for on-Chip Fluorescence Detection

Edoardo Charbon

An all-digital, time-gated 128x128 CMOS image sensor for on-chip fluorescence detection is presented. The sensor pixel consists of a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), time gating circuitry and a 1bit memory. The sensor allows on-chip fluorescence detec ...

An area and power optimization technique for CMOS bandgap voltage references

Seyed Armin Tajalli, Mohammad Chahardori

This article explores the main tradeoffs in design of power and area efficient bandgap voltage reference (BGR) circuits. A structural design methodology for optimizing the silicon area and power dissipation of CMOS BGRs will be introduced. For this purpose ...

Frequency doubled 1534 nm laser system for potassium laser cooling

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Guillaume Stern

We demonstrate a compact laser source suitable for trapping and cooling potassium. By frequency doubling a fiber laser diode at 1534nm in a waveguide, we produce 767nm laser light. A current modulation of the diode allows us to generate the two required fr ...

Actuated Transitory Metal-Ligand Bond As Tunable Electromechanical Switch

Klaus Kern

Electrically tunable molecules are highly attractive for the construction of molecular devices, such as switches, transistors, or machines. Here, we present a novel nanomechanical element triggered by an electrical bias as external stimulus. We demonstrate ...
