Segmenting silicon waveguides at the subwavelength scale produce an equivalent homogenous material. The geometry of the waveguide segments provides precise control over modal confinement, effective ...

Abstract: We investigated the correlation between the temperature coefficient of elasticity (TCE) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectra of SiO 2 for SAW devices. The measurement ...

We report the first, successful, partial nanoshaving of octadecyl- and octyl-dimethylmonochlorosilane monolayers on silicon dioxide, as well as nanografting of perfluorinated and aminosilanes on these ...

Amorphous silicon nitride (SiN x) thin films are widely used in modern microelectronics and also as thermal barrier materials in combustion engines. The structure and thermal conductivity of amorphous ...

A critical challenge for flexible biomedical implants is in the development of materials and structures that enable intimate coupling to biotissues with long-term stability. The results presented here ...
