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…
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…
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…
