A theory is developed for calculating vertical tunneling current between two sheets of bilayer graphene separated by a thin, insulating layer of hexagonal boron nitride, neglecting many-body effects. Results are presented using physical…
We examine the robustness of single-molecule tunneling diodes to thermal-environmental effects. The diode comprises three fragments: two different conjugated chemical groups at the boundaries, and a saturated moiety in between, breaking…
Efficient electroluminescence of silicon light emitting p-n diodes with different sizes and shapes is investigated at room temperature. High quantum efficiency of the diodes, a long linear dependence of the electroluminescence intensity on…
We demonstrate a tunnel field effect transistor based on a lateral heterostructure patterned from an $\mathrm{LaAlO_3/SrTiO_3}$ electron gas. Charge is injected by tunneling from the $\mathrm{LaAlO_3}$/$\mathrm{SrTiO_3}$ contacts and the…

Superconducting detectors are now well-established tools for low-light optics, and in particular quantum optics, boasting high-efficiency, fast response and low noise. Similarly, lithium niobate is an important platform for integrated…
The bottleneck in achieving fully integrated silicon photonics lies in silicon-based light-emitting devices that are compatible with standard CMOS technology. Dislocation loops by implanting boron into silicon and annealing represents an…

Electroluminescence, a non-thermal radiative process, is ubiquitous in semi-conductors and insulators but fundamentally precluded in metals. We show here that this restriction can be circumvented in high-quality graphene. By investigating…
