Detection of individual spin species via frequency-modulated charge pumping

February 2, 2022
Author(s)
James Ashton, Mark Anders, Jason Ryan
We utilize the recently developed frequency-modulated charge pumping technique to detect a single charge per cycle, which strongly suggests a single Si/SiO2 interface trap. This demonstration in sub-micron MOSFETs, in which scaling of the gate oxide yields

Model for the Bipolar Amplification Effect

December 10, 2021
Author(s)
James Ashton, Stephen Moxim, Ashton Purcell, Patrick Lenahan, Jason Ryan
We present a model based on Fitzgerald-Grove surface recombination for the bipolar amplification effect (BAE) measurement, which is widely utilized in electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) to measure reliability and performance-limiting interface

Computational scanning tunneling microscope image database

December 5, 2021
Author(s)
Kamal Choudhary, Kevin Garrity, Charles Camp, Sergei Kalinin, Rama Vasudevan, Maxim Ziatdinov, Francesca Tavazza
We introduce the systematic database of scanning tunneling microscope (STM) images obtained using density functional theory (DFT) for two-dimensional (2D) materials, calculated using the Tersoff-Hamann method. It currently contains data for 716 exfoliable

Opportunities in electrically tunable 2D materials beyond graphene: Recent progress and future outlook

November 30, 2021
Author(s)
Tom Vincent, Jiayun liang, simrjit singh, eli castanon, xiaotian zhang, deep jariwala, olga kazakova, zakaria al-balushi, Amber McCreary
The interest in two-dimensional and layered materials continues to expand, driven by the compelling properties of individual atomic layers that can be stacked and/or twisted into synthetic heterostructures. The plethora of electronic properties as well as

Perspectives in Scanning Probe Microscopy from the 2021 Joint International Scanning Probe Microscopy and Scanning Probe Microscopy on Soft and Polymeric Materials Conference

November 30, 2021
Author(s)
Liam Collins, Jason Killgore, Samuel Berweger, Rachael Cohn, neus domingo, Georg Fantner, Rajiv Giridharagopal, Sergei Kalinin, Philippe LECLERE, Simon Scheuring, Rama Vasudevan, Dalia Yablon
In March 2020 our plans for organizing and hosting one of the premier scanning probe microscopy (SPM) conferences in Breckenridge, Colorado, USA were well underway. For the first time the meeting would synergistically combine International Scanning Probe

Imaging of Magnetic Excitations in Nanostructures with Microwave Near-Field Microscopy

November 25, 2021
Author(s)
Samuel Berweger, Robert Tyrrell-Ead, Houchen Chang, Mingzhong Wu, Hong Tang, Hans Nembach, Karl Stupic, Stephen E. Russek, Thomas Mitchell (Mitch) Wallis, Pavel Kabos
We present images of spin-wave excitations in a patterned yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film obtained by use of near-field microwave microscopy, which can achieve spatial resolution as high as 50 nm. Visualization of magnetic excitations is an enticing

Generation of perfect vortex beams by dielectric geometric metasurface for visible light

October 31, 2021
Author(s)
Qianwei Zhou, Mingze Liu, Wenqi Zhu, Lu Chen, Yongze Ren, Henri Lezec, Yanqing Lu, Ting Xu, Amit Agrawal
Perfect vortex beam (PVB) is a propagating optical field carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) with a radial intensity profile that is independent of topological charge. PVB can be generated through the Fourier transform of a Bessel-Gaussian beam, which

Spatially Resolved Potential and Li-Ion Distributions Reveal Performance-Limiting Regions in Solid-State Batteries

October 19, 2021
Author(s)
Elliot Fuller, Evgheni Strelcov, Jamie Weaver, Michael Swift, Joshua Sugar, Andrei Kolmakov, Nikolai Zhitenev, Jabez J. McClelland, Yue Qi, Joseph Dura, Alec Talin
The performance of solid-state electrochemical systems is intimately tied to the potential and lithium distributions across electrolyte–electrode junctions that give rise to interface impedance. Here, we combine two operando methods, Kelvin probe force

Thermal Analysis of Nanoparticles: Methods, Kinetics, and Recent Advances

October 13, 2021
Author(s)
Elisabeth Mansfield, Mark Banash
This chapter provides an overview of the thermal techniques available to study nanoparticles, with particular attention to thermogravimetric analysis, calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The advantages of thermal analysis for nanoparticle

Microwave characterization of graphene inks

October 11, 2021
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, Ana C. M. Moraes
Systematic charge transport characterization of solution-processed graphene inks using ethyl cellulose polymer as a binder/stabilizer, showed graphene patterns with high mobility ( 160 cm2 V-1 s-1), low energy gap, thermally activated charge transport and

Parametric optimization of an air-liquid interface system for flow through inhalation exposure to nanoparticles: assessing dosimetry and intracellular uptake of CeO2 nanoparticles

September 29, 2021
Author(s)
Lars Leibrock, Harald Jungnickel, Jutta Tentschert, Aaron Katz, Blaza Toman, Elijah Petersen, Frank Bierkandt, Ajay V. Singh, Peter Laux, Andreas Luch
Air-liquid interface (ALI) systems have been widely used in recent years to investigate the inhalation toxicity of many gaseous compounds, chemicals, and nanomaterials and represent an emerging and promising in vitro method to supplement or ultimately

Alternatives to aluminum gates for silicon quantum devices: Defects and strain

September 15, 2021
Author(s)
Ryan Stein, Zachary Barcikowski, Sujitra Pookpanratana, Joshua M. Pomeroy, Michael Stewart
Gate-defined quantum dots (QD) benefit from the use of small grain size metals for gates materials because it aids in shrinking the device dimensions. However, it is not clear what differences arise with respect to process-induced defect densities and
