Local, Nonvolatile Doping of Two-Dimensional Materials 2014-097
For electronics manufacturing companies that plan to use electrostatic gating and substitutional doping to induce charge carriers in two-dimensional (2D) materials but are dissatisfied with the inability of these methods to produce nonvolatile doping profiles with nanometer resolution. Berkeley Lab’s Local Doping of Two-Dimensional Materials offers a process for locally doping … [Read more...] about Local, Nonvolatile Doping of Two-Dimensional Materials 2014-097
Active Modulators and Perfect Shielders Based on Adiabatic Elimination 2014-090
For data and communications device companies that use waveguides to guide light in nanoscale circuits but are dissatisfied with noise and weak signal strength due to signal leakage, this new Berkeley Lab technology’s three-waveguide system is based on an adiabatic elimination (AE) mechanism that uses the middle “dark state” waveguide to separate the two outer waveguides and … [Read more...] about Active Modulators and Perfect Shielders Based on Adiabatic Elimination 2014-090
