In this presentation, physical properties and possible applications of carbon based nano electro-mechanical devices (NEMS) will be introduced. Our research started from carbon nanotube based nano electro-mechanical relay structure and expanded to graphene based xylophone and drum like devices. Micro contact transfer method is applied to realize the suspended nano structures with various electrodes under the nano materials.
The Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Summer School, hosted by IQC, equips graduate students and young postdoctoral fellows with a strong foundation in quantum communication, particularly quantum cryptography.
Join us for our last session in the clarity in scientific writing series. During this session, we will apply the principles you have learned in order to improve the clarity and cohesion of your own writing. Please bring a sample of your writing (1-2 pages, double spaced), and be prepared to read, discuss, and revise!
A 3D topological insulator (TI) has a fully gapped insulating bulk state but a conducting surface. Such conducting “surface” states are formed with helical Dirac fermions, with spin-momentum strictly locked by spin-orbital coupling. When coupled to a conventional s-wave superconductor (S), the surface state behaves just like the desired p-wave superconductor. It has been predicted that Majorana zero-modes obeying non-Abelian statistics can appear in such a system.
