Optical bistability in metal/dielectric composite with interfacial layer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The optical bistability in a composite, composed of nonlinear metallic particles (spherical or cylindrical) with interfacial layers randomly embedded in a linear dielectric host, is investigated theoretically. It is shown that both interfacial property and the size of metallic particles can dramatically a!ect the optical bistable behavior, and the threshold value is more less in three dimension (3D) than in two dimension (2D) system under same physical condition. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

The dependence of nonlinear optical response on temperature is investigated theoretically for a metal–dielectric composite with interfacial layers in a dilute limit. We show that the effect of interfacial layers on the nonlinear optical response of such composites is more prominent at low temperatures than at high temperatures, that the interfacial factor depends on the volume fraction of metal...
متن کاملLow-threshold optical bistability of graphene-wrapped dielectric composite
We theoretically study the effective third-order nonlinear response and optical bistability of the 3D graphene based composite consisting of graphene wrapped dielectric nanoparticles embedded in dielectric host at terahertz frequencies. Taking into account the nonlinear conductivity of graphene, we derive the analytical expressions for the effective third-order nonlinear coefficient χe3 in weak...
متن کاملInvestigation of Electrical and Optical Characteristics of Nanohybride Composite (Polyvinyl Alcohol / Nickel Oxide)
Some issues; leakage, tunneling currents, boron diffusion are threatening SiO2 to be used as a good gate dielectric for the future of the CMOS (complementary metal- oxide- semiconductor) transistors. For finding an alternative and novel gate dielectric, the NiO (Nickel oxide) and PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) nano powders were synthesized with the sol-gel method and their nano structural p...
متن کاملOptical Metrology Solutions for 10nm Films Process Control Challenges
Controlling thickness and composition of gate stack layers in logic and memory devices is critical to ensure transistor performance meets requirements, especially at 10nm node due to the 3-d geometry of devices and tight process budget. It has become necessary to measure and control each layer in the gate stack before and after dielectric and metal gate deposition sequences. A typical gate stac...
متن کاملInvestigating the Longitudinal Optical Conductivity in Three-Layer Graphene Systems with Composes Mono-Bi-Bi and Bi-Mono-Bi and Bi-Bi-Mono
The longitudinal optical conductivity is the most important property for graphene-baseddevices. So investigating this property for spatially separated few-layer graphene systems analytically and numerically is the main purpose of our study. Each layer can be mono- or bi-layer graphene. The density-density correlation function has been screened by the dielectric function using the random p...
