Yongze Ren, Shihao Guo, Wenqi Zhu, Pengcheng Huo, Sijia Liu, Song Zhang, Peng Chen, Lu Chen, Henri Lezec, Amit Agrawal, Yanqing Lu, Ting Xu
Decoding arbitrary polarization information from an optical field has triggered unprecedented endeavors in polarization imaging, remote sensing and information processing. Therefore, developing a polarization detection device with full on-chip integration

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
