Review on thermoelectric properties of transition metal dichalcogenides
I. Pallecchi, N. Manca, B. Patil +2
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are considered an advantageous alternative to their celebrated two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals akin compound, graphene, for a number of a…
Strain, Young's modulus, and structural transition of EuTiO3 thin films probed by micro-mechanical methods
Nicola Manca, Gaia Tarsi, Alexei Kalaboukhov +5
EuTiO3 (ETO) is a well-known complex oxide mainly investigated for its magnetic properties and its incipient ferro-electricity. In this work, we demonstrate the realization of susp…
The role of etching anisotropy in the fabrication of freestanding oxide microstructures on SrTiO3(100), SrTiO3(110), and SrTiO3(111) substrates
Alejandro Plaza, Nicola Manca, Cristina Bernini +2
The release process for the fabrication of freestanding oxide microstructures relies on appropriate, controllable and repeatable wet etching procedures. SrTiO3 is among the most em…
Ultralow friction of ink-jet printed graphene flakes
R. Buzio, A. Gerbi, S. Uttiya +7
We report the frictional response of few-layer graphene (FLG) flakes obtained by liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) of pristine graphite. To this end, we inkjet print FLG on bare and h…
Selective high frequency mechanical actuation driven by the VO2 electronic instability
Nicola Manca, Luca Pellegrino, Teruo Kanki +6
Micro- and nano-electromechanical resonators are a fundamental building block of modern technology, used in environmental monitoring, robotics, medical tools as well as fundamental…
Programmable Mechanical Resonances in MEMS by Localized Joule Heating of Phase Change Materials
Nicola Manca, Luca Pellegrino, Teruo Kanki +4
A programmable micromechanical resonator based on a VO2 thin film is reported. Multiple mechanical eigenfrequency states are programmed using Joule heating as local power source, g…
Reversible oxygen vacancies doping in (La,Sr)MnO microbridges by combined self-heating and electromigration
Nicola Manca, Luca Pellegrino, Daniele Marré
Combination of electric fields and Joule self-heating is used to change the oxygen stoichiometry and promote oxygen vacancy drift in a free-standing thin fi…
Influence of thermal boundary conditions on the current-driven resistive transition in microbridges
Nicola Manca, Teruo Kanki, Hidekazu Tanaka +2
We investigate the resistive switching behaviour of microbridges under current bias as a function of temperature and thermal coupling with the heat bath. Upon incre…
Nanopatterning process based on epitaxial masking for the fabrication of electronic and spintronic devices made of La0.67Sr0.33MnO3/LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructures with in situ interfaces
Francesca Telesio, Luca Pellegrino, Ilaria Pallecchi +5
The fabrication of oxide electronics devices is presently hindered by the lack of standardized and well established patterning procedures, applicable down to the nanoscale. In this…
Highly effective and isotropic pinning in epitaxial Fe(Se,Te) thin films grown on CaF2 substrates
V. Braccini, S. Kawale, E. Reich +8
We report on the isotropic pinning obtained in epitaxial Fe(Se,Te) thin films grown on CaF2 (001) substrate. High critical current density values larger than 1 MA/cm2 in self field…
Cu_{2}O as nonmagnetic semiconductor for spin transport in crystalline oxide electronics
I. Pallecchi, L. Pellegrino, N. Banerjee +4
We probe spin transport in Cu_{2}O by measuring spin valve effect in La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3}/Cu_{2}O/Co and La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3}/Cu_{2}O/La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3} epitaxial hetero…
