Numerical simulations done at the Nanophysics Center at Reykjavík University indicate that under constant illumination from a sufficiently energetic monochromatic light source, a space-charge limited photoemission can cause current modulation in a ...

Multilayer structures comprising of SiO2/SiGe/SiO2 and containing SiGe nanoparticles were obtained by depositing SiO2 layers using reactive direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS), whereas, Si and Ge were co-sputtered using dcMS and high-power impulse ...

We report on germanium coated silicon nanowires structures synthesized with metal assisted chemical etching and qualify their functionality as human respiratory sensor. The sensors were made from p-type single-crystalline (100) silicon wafers using a ...

Majorana zero modes have recently been proposed as a solution to obtain fault-tolerant quantum computation. They are quasiparticle excitations in quantum systems at the nanoscale with the potential to function as qubits, the basic building blocks of ...

Fabrication and sensor application of a simple plasmonic structure is described in this paper. The sensor element consists of nano-patterned gold film brought about from two-dimensional periodic photoresist templates created by holographic laser ...

Films of SiGe nanocrystals (NCs) in oxide have the advantage of tuning the energy band gap by adjusting SiGe NCs composition and size. In this study, SiGe-SiO2 amorphous films were deposited by magnetron sputtering on Si substrate followed by rapid ...
