Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy for Probing Nanophotonic Excitations at High Energy and Momentum
DownloadSpring 2019
Strong nanoscale light-matter interaction is often accompanied by ultra-confined photonic modes and large momentum polaritons existing far beyond the light cone. A direct probe of such phenomena is difficult due to the momentum mismatch of these modes with free space light however, fast electron...

Nanophotonic detection of nanomechanical structures for use toward mass sensing applications
DownloadSpring 2014
Nanomechanical beam resonators show much promise for use in integrated on-chip mass sensing systems. This follows from their own very small masses and also their ability to store the mechanical energy of their oscillations to produce strong measurable mechanical response signals. To achieve...

Optimization of Electrical Interface for Vibration-based Energy Harvesters for Low Power Applications
DownloadSpring 2020
Badr, Ahmed Osman Abdel-Latif Ahmed
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (PEHs) can be used to supply power to small electronic devices as the Wireless Sensor Nodes (WSNs). However, the harvested energy from the harvesters are usually little and needs to be stored into storage elements. A high-efficiency electrical interface with...
