Abstract

Nowadays, a problem of historical beadworks conservation in museum collections is actual more than ever because of fatal corrosion of the 19th century glass beads. Vibrational spectroscopy is a powerful method for investigation of glass, namely, of correlation of the structure-chemical composition. Therefore, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used for examination of degradation processes in cloudy turquoise glass beads, which in contrast to other color ones deteriorate especially strongly. Micro-X-ray fluorescence spectrometry of samples has shown that lead-potassium glass PbO-K$_2$O-SiO$_2$ with small amount of Cu and Sb was used for manufacture of cloudy turquoise beads. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy study of the beads at different stages of glass corrosion was carried out in the range from 200 to 4000 cm$^{-1}$ in the attenuated total reflection mode. In all the spectra, we have observed shifts of two major absorption bands to low-frequency range (~1000 and ~775 cm$^{-1}$) compared to ones typical for amorphous SiO2 (~1100 and 800 cm$^{-1}$, respectively). Such an effect is connected with Pb$^{2+}$ and K$^+$ appending to the glass network. The presence of a weak band at ~1630 cm$^{-1}$ in all the spectra is attributed to the adsorption of H$_2$O. After annealing of the beads, the band disappeared completely in less deteriorated samples and became significantly weaker in more destroyed ones. Based on that we conclude that there is adsorbed molecular water on the beads. However, products of corrosion (e.g., alkali in the form of white crystals or droplets of liquid alkali) were not observed on the glass surface. We have also observed glass depolymerisation in the strongly degraded beads, which is exhibited in domination of the band peaked at ~1000 cm$^{-1}$.

Measuring vacancy-type defect density in monolayer semiconductors

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted wide-spread interest due to their unique and tunable properties. Their optoelectronic, mechanical, and thermal properties are greatly influenced by crystal defects, which are, in turn, used to control these properties. However, experimental quantification of the density of defects, whether deliberately introduced or inherent, is very difficult in these atomically thin materials. Here we show that helium atom micro-diffraction can be used to measure the defect density in ~15x20um monolayer MoS2, a prototypical 2D semiconductor, quickly and easily compared to standard methods. We present a simple analytic model, the lattice gas equation, that captures the relationship between atomic Bragg diffraction intensity and defect density. The model, combined with ab initio scattering calculations, shows that our technique can immediately be applied to a wide range of 2D materials, independent of sample chemistry or structure. Additionally, wafer-scale characterization is immediately possible.

Compact Modeling of Oxide-Semiconductor, 2D Material, Carbon Nanotube, and Cryogenic Transistors with Experiment Verification

This paper presents a unified compact model for emerging transistor technologies, including oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (OSFETs), 2D material FETs (2DFETs), carbon nanotube FETs (CNFETs), and cryogenic MOSFETs. A unified charge-density formulation is developed to account for quantum confinement, trap charges, and band-tail states in channel charge calculations. A physics-based transport model is introduced to seamlessly capture carrier transport from the long-channel diffusive regime to the short-channel ballistic limit. Scaling models are incorporated to accurately describe 2D electrostatic effects. Cryogenic operation is modeled through the inclusion of band-tail states and temperature-dependent mobility and threshold voltage. The proposed model is validated against experimental data from the fabricated OSFETs with multiple channel lengths and published measurements of 2DFETs, CNFETs, and cryogenic MOSFETs. Excellent agreement is demonstrated across diverse device architectures, operating conditions, and material systems.

Multiplexing approaches to thermoradiative signatureless communications

Using mid-infrared emission from semiconductor devices for covert communications remains a relatively unexplored and yet promising opportunity. The phenomenon of negative luminescence allows for a method of signatureless covert communications where the net infrared emission of an emitting optoelectronic device is balanced to be identical to the ambient thermal background. In this work we provide a practical demonstration of covert data transfer over a thermoradiative channel with data rates up to 100 kbps. In addition, we demonstrate several additional multiplexing techniques that make the proposed thermoradiative communications method more secure against interception by achieving zero instantaneous optical emission, while remaining detectable if a sufficiently spatially or spectrally discerning observation is utilised. Finally, we discuss various application scenarios in which the proposed methods can be used to achieve secure signatureless communications.
