Modelling Gaia CCD pixels with Silvaco 3D engineering software
G. M. Seabroke, T. Prod'homme, G. Hopkinson +3
Gaia will only achieve its unprecedented measurement accuracy requirements with detailed calibration and correction for radiation damage. We present our Silvaco 3D engineering soft…
Silvaco ATLAS model of ESA's Gaia satellite e2v CCD91-72 pixels
G. M. Seabroke, A. D. Holland, D. Burt +1
The Gaia satellite is a high-precision astrometry, photometry and spectroscopic ESA cornerstone mission, currently scheduled for launch in 2012. Its primary science drivers are the…
Free-induction-decay magnetic field imaging with a microfabricated Cs vapor cell
D. Hunter, C. Perrella, A. McWilliam +7
Magnetic field imaging is a valuable resource for signal source localization and characterization. This work reports an optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) based on the free-induct…
Distributed network of optically pumped magnetometers for space weather monitoring
M. S. Mrozowski, A. S. Bell, P. F. Griffin +6
Spatial variation in the intensity of magnetospheric and ionospheric fluctuation during solar storms creates ground-induced currents, of importance in both infrastructure engineeri…
Sub-electron read noise at MHz pixel rates
C. D. Mackay, R. N. Tubbs, R. Bell +2
A radically new CCD development by Marconi Applied Technologies has enabled substantial internal gain within the CCD before the signal reaches the output amplifier. With reasonably…
Triaxially strained suspended graphene for large-area pseudo-magnetic fields
M. Luo, H. Sun, Z. Qi +11
Strain-engineered graphene has garnered much attention recently owing to the possibilities of creating substantial energy gaps enabled by pseudo-magnetic fields. While theoretical…
