A silicon electromechanical photodetector.
Optomechanical systems have enabled wide-band optical frequency conversion and multichannel all-optical radio frequency amplification. Realization of an on-chip silicon communication platform is limited by photodetectors needed to convert optical information to electrical signals for further signal processing. In this paper we present a coupled silicon microresonator, which converts near-IR opt...
متن کاملQuantum confinement and electroluminescence in ultrathin silicon nanowires fabricated by a maskless etching technique.
We present a novel approach for the direct synthesis of ultrathin Si nanowires (NWs) exhibiting room temperature light emission. The synthesis is based on a wet etching process assisted by a metal thin film. The thickness-dependent morphology of the metal layer produces uncovered nanometer-size regions which act as precursor sites for NW formation. The process is cheap, fast, maskless and compa...
متن کاملTwisted Cochains and Higher Torsion
This paper gives a short summary of the central role played by Ed Brown’s “twisted cochains” in higher Franz-Reidemeister (FR) torsion and higher analytic torsion. Briefly, any fiber bundle gives a twisted cochain which is unique up to fiberwise homotopy equivalence. However, when they are based, the difference between two of them is a higher algebraic K-theory class measured by higher FR torsi...
متن کاملGiroux Torsion and Twisted Coefficients
We explain the effect of applying a full Lutz twist along a pre-Lagrangian torus in a contact 3-manifold, on the contact invariant in Heegaard Floer homology with twisted coefficients. Let (M, ξ) be a contact 3-manifold and T ⊂ M be a pre-Lagrangian torus, i.e., an embedded torus whose characteristic foliation ξL = ξ∩TL is linear. By slightly perturbing T , we may assume that it is linearly fol...
متن کاملDiameter-dependent electromechanical properties of GaN nanowires.
The diameter-dependent Young's modulus, E, and quality factor, Q, of GaN nanowires were measured using electromechanical resonance analysis in a transmission electron microscope. E is close to the theoretical bulk value ( approximately 300 GPa) for a large diameter nanowire (d=84 nm) but is significantly smaller for smaller diameters. At room temperature, Q is as high as 2,800 for d=84 nm, sign...
