Anisotropic and nonlinear transport in microstructured 3D topological semimetals

Xiangwei Huang

Topological semimetals are frequently discussed as materials platforms for future electronics that exploit the remarkable properties of their quasiparticles. These ideas are mostly based on dispersion relations that mimic relativistic particles, such as We ...

Ru tailored hydrous cobalt phosphate as a rational approach for high-performance alkaline oxygen evolution reaction

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin

The water splitting is an appealing approach to fulfil the demand of energy without any global concerns. The oxygen evolution reaction is one of way to achieve unlimited energy from water but the low stability, high energy required to drive the reaction (o ...

Localisation of front side passivating contacts for direct metallisation of high-efficiency c-Si solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Sylvain Nicolay, Xavier Niquille, Andrea Ingenito, Frank Meyer

In this work, we present the development of passivating contacts based on thin interfacial oxide/doped polysilicon for two side contacted c-Si solar cells. In the first part, we discuss our layer optimization towards direct metallisation, using firing thro ...

Electrical Model of a Wireless mW-Power and Mbps-Data Transfer System Over a Single Pair of Coils

Alexandre Schmid

This paper proposes a system to transfer both mW-power and Mbps-data over an inductive link using a single pair of coils. The system is able to handle a wide range of loads by implementing a load adapter block that divides the operation into two phases: a ...

THz characterization of GeSn monocrystalline thin films

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Andrea Giunto, Nicolas Philippe Laurent Humblot

The employment of other group IV materials, such as alloys of germanium and tin, poses a solution for overcoming the efficiency limit of silicon that arises from its indirect bandgap. By using THz spectroscopy, the optoelectronic properties, such as conduc ...

A cryogenic electro-optic interconnect for superconducting devices

Tobias Kippenberg, Anton Lukashchuk, Nathan Rafaël Bernier, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni, Amir Youssefi, Philipp Johann Uhrich

A major challenge to the scalability of cryogenic computing platforms is the heat load associated with the growing number of electrical cable connections between the superconducting circuitry and the room-temperature environment. Compared with electrical c ...

Insulation effect on thermal stability of Coated Conductors wires in liquid nitrogen

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit

Superconducting wires are not perfectly homogeneous in term of critical current as well as stabilization. In resistive fault current limiter applications this could lead to hot spots if the fault current is only slightly above the nominal current of the de ...
