Using cutting-edge transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, researchers from RWTH Aachen University, Forschungszentrum Jülich and AMO GmbH have revealed unprecedented details about the reversible phase transition of ceria – a material that holds huge potential for catalytic applications, energy generation, as well as for memristive devices – showing that this can be precisely manipulated with […]
The exceptional electronic properties of graphene make it a material with large potential for low-power, high-frequency electronics. However, the performance of a graphene-based device depends not only on the properties of the graphene itself, but also on the quality of its metal contacts. The lack of effective and manufacturable approaches to establish good ohmic contacts […]
Researcher at AMO GmbH, RWTH Aachen University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Senseair AB and the University of Bundeswehr have successfully developed a waveguide-integrated incandescent thermal mid-infrared emitter using graphene as the active material. This innovative approach significantly enhances the efficiency, compactness, and reliability of gas sensor systems, paving the way for widespread application across […]
Agata Piacentini and coworkers have demonstrated the first CMOS inverter based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) on a flexible substrate, using two distinct TMDC materials, MoS2 and WSe2. The team has successfully fabricated NMOS FETs based on CVD-MoS2 and PMOS FETs based on MOCVD-WSe2 on a flexible foil substrate. The FETs exhibited almost mirror-symmetric transfer […]
