Nonlinear graphene quantum capacitors for electro-optics

Owing to its peculiar energy dispersion, the quantum capacitance property of graphene can be exploited in a two- dimensional layered capacitor configuration. Using graphene and boron nitride, respectively, as the electrodes and the insulating dielectric, a ...

Nonreciprocal reconfigurable microwave optomechanical circuit

Tobias Kippenberg, Nathan Rafaël Bernier, László Dániel Tóth, Olexiy Feofanov, Marie Adrienne Ioannou

Devices that achieve nonreciprocal microwave transmission are ubiquitous in radar and radio-frequency communication systems, and commonly rely on magnetically biased ferrite materials. Such devices are also indispensable in the readout chains of supercondu ...

Critical Josephson current in the dynamical Coulomb blockade regime

Klaus Kern, Matthias Alexander Eltschka

The current-voltage characteristics of a voltage-biased Josephson junction in the low conductance regime of an ultra-low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is dominated by sequential charge tunneling. Using P(E) theory we show that the Josephs ...
