Radiation pressure has recently been used to effectively couple the quantum motion of mechanical elements to the fields of optical or microwave light. Integration of all three degrees of freedom-mechanical, optical and microwave-would enable a quantum interconnect between microwave and optical quantum systems. We present a platform based on silicon nitride nanomembranes for integrating supercon...

Both microwave absorption and magnetocaloric effect (MCE) are two essential performances of magnetic materials. We observe that LaFe(11.6)Si(1.4)C(0.2)H(1.7) intermetallic compound exhibits the advantages of both giant microwave absorption exceeding -42 dB and magnetic entropy change of -20 Jkg(-1)K(-1). The excellent electromagnetic wave absorption results from the large magnetic loss and diel...

Metallic gate electrodes are often employed to control the conductivity of graphene based field effect devices. The lack of transparency of such electrodes in many optical applications is a key limiting factor. We demonstrate a working concept of a double layer graphene field effect device that utilizes a thin film of sputtered aluminum nitride as dielectric gate material. For this system, we s...

and Introduction: This project focused on the preparation of high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and the design of a HEMTbased, single-lithography-layer oscillator with active integrated antenna circuit with target oscillation frequencies up to 100 GHz. HEMT devices are well known for their suitability in high frequency microwave circuits, possibly for two reasons. Firstly, HEMTs offer h...

Photonic tunneling permits superluminal signal transmission. The principle of causality is not violated but the time duration between cause and effect can be shortened compared with an interaction exchange with velocity of light. This outstanding property can be applied to speed-up photonic signal modulation and transmission as well as to improve micro-electronic devices. Superluminal photonic ...

The objective of this chapter is to show the applications of innovative reconfigurable antenna methodologies for the 4G devices. Microwave antenna technology can be very useful for the 4G devices, because these products will require high bandwidth and high velocity channel with respect to conventional antennas. This chapter presents a complete picture of possible applications of advanced microw...

Recent experimental results regarding a two-dimensional electron gas subjected to microwave radiation reveal that magnetoresistivity, apart from presenting oscillations and zero resistance states, can evolve to negative values at minima. Here the authors present a theoretical model which explains the transition from zero resistance states to absolute negative conductivity in terms of multiphoto...
