Sputtering of (001)AlN thin films: Control of polarity by a seed layer

Jürgen Brugger, Nicolas Grandjean, Paul Muralt, Jean-François Carlin, Denis Martin, Andreea Veronica Savu, Scott Harada, Evgeny Milyutin

The authors report on the ability to control the polarity of sputter deposited AlN001 thin ﬁlms using seed layers. Reactive sputter deposition leads to N-polarity on any substrate hitherto applied, i.e., Si111, sapphire, SiO2, and polycrystalline metals su ...

Derivatives with respect to metrics and applications: subgradient marching algorithm

This paper introduces a subgradient descent algorithm to compute a Riemannian metric that minimizes an energy involving geodesic distances. The heart of the method is the Subgradient Marching Algorithm to compute the derivative of the geodesic distance wit ...

Mechanical and electronic properties of vanadium oxide nanotubes

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Andras Kis, Jin Won Seo, Neven Barisic, Balazs Sipos

Vanadium oxide nanotubes with a diameter of 20-100 nm and an aspect ratio of 50-100 were synthesized by hydrothermal method. Young's modulus of 20-80 GPa was obtained by bending measurements of individual nanotubes using an atomic force microscope. Electri ...

Theoretical Investigation of Iterative Phase Retrieval Algorithm for Quasi-Optical Millimeter-Wave RF Beams

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge

In this paper, we present a detailed analysis of the iterative phase retrieval approach (TPRA) for determining the phase profile of the output microwave beam of a gyrotron from known intensity patterns emphasizing the field propagation techniques which are ...

Channel and wedge plasmon modes of metallic V-grooves with finite metal thickness

Olivier Martin

We investigate numerically the effect of a finite metal film thickness on the propagation characteristics of the channel plasmon polariton (CPP) and wedge plasmon polariton (WPP) modes, both in a symmetric and asymmetric environment. We observe that decrea ...

Influence of residual disorder on the anticrossing of Bloch modes probed in k space

Romuald Houdré, Nicolas Le Thomas, Vasily Zabelin

We retrieve the dispersion properties of photonic crystal waveguides near the band edge with high experimental accuracy. The dispersion diagram of the waveguide modes in the complex-valued plane is directly measured in the far ﬁeld by using a Fourier space ...

Alginate-based microcapsules for mammalian cell culture and other biotechnological applications

Véronique Breguet

Since life began, nature has been using the envelopment of systems for their protection or for providing a particular reaction space, the enveloping wall displaying additional specific membrane functions. The abundance of examples is quite overwhelming and ...
