Co-Design of Free-Space Metasurface Optical Neuromorphic Classifiers for High Performance
François Léonard, Adam S. Backer, Elliot J. Fuller +2
Classification of features in a scene typically requires conversion of the incoming photonic field into the electronic domain. Recently, an alternative approach has emerged whereby…
Design of High-Performance Photon Number Resolving Photodetectors Based on Coherently Interacting Nanoscale Elements
Steve M. Young, Mohan Sarovar, François Léonard
A number of applications in basic science and technology would benefit from high fidelity photon number resolving photodetectors. While some recent experimental progress has been m…
Quantum dynamics of single-photon detection using functionalized quantum transport electronic channels
Catalin D. Spataru, François Léonard
Single photon detectors have historically consisted of macroscopic-sized materials but recent experimental and theoretical progress suggests new approaches based on nanoscale and m…
Bulk-Free Topological Insulator Bi2Se3 nanoribbons with Magnetotransport Signatures of Dirac Surface States
Gunta Kunakova, Luca Galletti, Sophie Charpentier +6
Many applications for topological insulators (TIs) as well as new phenomena require devices with reduced dimensions. While much progress has been made to realize thin films of TIs…
Atomistic study of an ideal metal/thermoelectric contact: the full-Heusler/half-Heusler interface
Catalin D. Spataru, Yuping He, François Léonard
Half-Heusler alloys such as the (Zr,Hf)NiSn intermetallic compounds are important thermoelectric materials for converting waste heat into electricity. Reduced electrical resistivit…
Atomistic Study of the Electronic Contact Resistivity Between the Half-Heusler Alloys (HfCoSb, HfZrCoSb, HfZrNiSn) and the Metal Ag
Yuping He, François Léonard, Catalin D. Spataru
Half-Heusler(HH) alloys have shown promising thermoelectric properties in the medium and high temperature range. To harness these material properties for thermoelectric application…
