This theoretical modeling and simulation paper presents designs and projected performances of two non-volatile, broadband, on-chip 2-by-2 electro-optical switches based upon the germanium-on-insulator (GeOI) photonic-electronic platform…

Future quantum optical networks will require the ability to route entangled photons at high speeds, with minimal loss and added in-band noise, and---most importantly---without disturbing the photons' quantum state. Here we present an…

We employ the first-principles GW+Bethe Salpeter equation approach to study the electronic structure and optical absorption spectra of uniaxial strained graphene with many-electron effects included. Applied strain not only induces an…

The energy spectra and wavefunctions of bound excitons in important two-dimensional (2D) graphene derivatives, i.e., graphyne and graphane, are found to be strongly modified by quantum confinement, making them qualitatively different from…

Plasmonics can be used to improve absorption in optoelectronic devices and has been intensively studied for solar cells and photodetectors. Graphene has recently emerged as a powerful plasmonic material. It shows significantly less losses…

The speed of silicon-based transistors has reached an impasse in the recent decade, primarily due to scaling techniques and the short-channel effect. Conversely, graphene (a revolutionary new material possessing an atomic thickness) has…

Exerting well-defined control over the reflection $(R)$, absorption $(A)$, and transmission $(T)$ of electromagnetic waves is a key objective in quantum optics. To this end, one often utilizes hybrid structures comprised of elements with…

Graphene is a light material for long-distance spin transport due to its low spin-orbit coupling, which at the same time is the main drawback to exhibit a sizeable spin Hall effect. Decoration by light atoms has been predicted to enhance…

Resistive switching in amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) films deposited by a single composite target magnetron sputtering process is reported. Switching performance as a function of thickness of the films (50, 100 and 300 nm) as well as…
