High Crystal

Silicon (Si) photonics has recently emerged as a key enabling technology in many application fields thanks to the mature Si process technology, the large silicon wafer size, and Si optical properties. However, the inability of Si-based materials to efficiently emit light requires the use of other semiconductors for light sources.

Combining electronics with infrared light can enable small, fast, and sensitive devices for sensing, imaging, and signaling at the molecular level. However, in the infrared spectrum, materials must meet strict quality requirements for their crystals in order to meet the requirements for these functions.

MTV released a clip of Spencer and Heidi Pratt's episode of "MTV's Cribs" on Tuesday. The episode airs Thursday.

Control of percolative dynamics of metal and insulator domains during electrically triggered insulator-metal transition underlies applications in energy-efficient switches. Jo et al. show that embedded metallic nanoparticles enhance the metastability and memory effects of metallic domains in VO2 switches.
