A Study of Field Emission Based Microfabricated Devices
(2008-04-25)The primary goals of this study were to demonstrate and fully characterize a microscale ionization source (i.e. micro-ion source) and to determine the validity of impact ionization theory for microscale devices and pressures ... -
Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of Carbon Nanotube Field Emission Devices for Advanced Applications
(2016)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently emerged as promising candidates for electron field emission (FE) cathodes in integrated FE devices. These nanostructured carbon materials possess exceptional properties and their synthesis ... -
Integrated System Technologies for Modular Trapped Ion Quantum Information Processing
(2016)Although trapped ion technology is well-suited for quantum information science, scalability of the system remains one of the main challenges. One of the challenges associated with scaling the ion trap quantum computer is ... -
Metamaterial Control of Thermal Radiation
(2017)The observation and use of thermal radiation has a long history. Significant advance was made in 1879 when Josef Stefan found that “the total radiated power per unit surface area of a black body across all wavelengths is ... -
Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers for Medical Imaging
(2011)Piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer (pMUT) two-dimensional (2D) arrays have been proposed as an alternative to conventional bulk-PZT thickness-mode transducers for high frequency, forward-looking, catheter-based ... -
Scalable Optical MEMS Technology for Quantum Information Processing
(2011)Among the various physical systems considered for scalable quantum information processing (QIP), individually trapped ions or neutral atoms have emerged as promising candidates. Recent experiments using these systems have ...
