Interface Control at the Nanoscale (ICON) – Synthesis, Interface Chemistry and Optical Spectroscopy of III-V/II-VI Heteronanostructures Ghent University
Ongoing evolutions in nanoscience resonate exceptionally well with the societal need for smaller, faster, and more efficient consumer devices. Semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) occupy a central role in this revolution as their unique size-tunable and atomic-like energy states are in high demand for luminescent color conversion and lasing. Over the last decade, bottom-up approaches have emerged as scalable methods to assemble complex ...
Fibre-Matrix Interface Longitudinal Debonding and Translaminar Fracture of Fibre-Reinforced Composites: Model Development and Experimental Validation KU Leuven
Fibre-reinforced composites (FRCs) have brought about a significant transformation in the realm of materials science, redefining the possibilities of engineering and design. The exceptional mechanical properties of FRCs, including their high stiffness- and strength-to-weight ratio, have enabled their widespread adoption in industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to renewable energy applications. As we look to the future, FRCs offer a ...
Exploring the Interface Between Ionic Liquids and Graphene: Elucidating Structure and Electronic Properties. KU Leuven
GRAPHIL aims at generating a detailed picture of the lateral nanostructure of the ionic liquid (IL)-graphene interface. A special focus will be given to the understanding of the IL-graphene interactions that generate the interfacial structure and to the influence of IL on graphene electronic structure. This understanding will greatly benefit the research on IL/graphene based energy storage devices.
State-of-the-art amplitude-modulated ...
Structural and functional characteristics of the ionic liquid – graphene interface KU Leuven
Electrochemical energy systems are key for developing sustainable and reliable energy supply to meet the future energy demands. Volatility and flammable nature of conventional electrolytes, however, limit their safe usage in energy applications. Ionic liquids (ILs), a new class of electrolytes show remarkable chemical and thermal stability. Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice, showcases key ...

Understanding Interface Interactions in Graphene-Ruthenium Hybrids for Next Generation Interconnects KU Leuven
With every technology generation, the modern IC continues to shrink to accommodate a higher packing density of devices. For 5 nm node, the critical load interconnects would have metal pitch as low as 28 nm. This is much smaller than the mean free path of electrons in Cu resulting in a dramatic and nonlinear rise in interconnect resistance. Moreover, the drop in the metal pitch distances and scaling of oxides increase the capacitance of the ...
May AI Help You? Human-AI Interaction in End-User User Interface Development Vrije Universiteit Brussel
tablets and smartwatches, and the emergence of "smart things"
forming part of the Internet of Things (IoT), user interfaces (UIs) have
to be adapted in order to cope with the different input and output
methods as well as device characteristics. In addition to the
challenges dealing with these rapidly changing technologies, user
interface ...
Investigation of the structural, chemical and magnetic state of the metal/oxide interface in composite multiferroics KU Leuven
Metal/oxide interface is a fundamental component in many devices such as magnetic sensors, piezoelectric transducers, and capacitors. The electrical properties of metal/oxide heterostructures are determined by the type of contact formed at the interface, i.e. Schottky or Ohmic contact. As devices are becoming smaller in size, interfaces are becoming even more important due to an increase in the surface to volume ratio. The metal/oxide ...
