Facet-driven formation of axial and radial In(Ga)As clusters in GaAs nanowires

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Martin George Friedl, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Wonjong Kim, Lucas Güniat, Nicolas Tappy, Santhanu Panikar Ramanandan, Didem Dede, Akshay Balgarkashi

Embedding quantum dots in nanowires (NWs) constitutes one promising building block for quantum photonic technologies. Earlier attempts to grow InAs quantum dots on GaAs nanowires were based on the Stranski-Krastanov growth mechanism. Here, we propose a nov ...

Instability of a thin viscous film flowing under an inclined substrate: steady patterns

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pier Giuseppe Ledda, Gaëtan Pierre Clément Lerisson

The flow of a thin film coating the underside of an inclined substrate is studied. We measure experimentally spatial growth rates and compare them to the linear stability analysis of a flat film modelled by the lubrication equation. When forced by a statio ...

Spectrally Selective Mid-Wave Infrared Detection Using Fabry-Perot Cavity Enhanced Black Phosphorus 2D Photodiodes

Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Wei Yan

Thin two-dimensional (2D) material absorbers have the potential to reduce volume-dependent thermal noise in infrared detectors. However, any reduction in noise must be balanced against lower absorption from the thin layer, which necessitates advanced optic ...

Gallium‐Based Thin Films for Wearable Human Motion Sensors

Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Furfaro, Laurent Mirko Dejace

Wearable electronic circuits based on the films of gallium and its alloys offer promising implementations in health monitoring and gaming sensing applications. However, the complex rheology of liquid metals makes it challenging to manufacture thin gallium‐ ...

GaN Quantum Dots for Room Temperature Excitonic Physics

Sebastian Pascal Tamariz Kaufmann

Quantum dots (QDs) are the result of quantum confinement in the three spatial directions, as such they exhibit remarkable properties, of which the most important is perhaps the absence of a continuum of states. The allowed energetic levels are discrete, si ...
