Dogan, I. (author), Kramer, N.J. (author), Westermann, R.H.J. (author), Dohnalova, K. (author), Smets, A.H.M. (author), Verheijen, M.A. (author), Greogorkiewicz, T. (author), Van de Sanden, M.C.M. (author)We demonstrate a method for synthesizing free standing silicon nanocrystals in an argon/silane gas mixture by using a remote expanding thermal plasma. Transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy measurements reveal that the distribution has a bimodal shape consisting of two distinct groups of small and large silicon nanocrystals with...journal article 2013

(author), Sudhölter, E.J.R. (author), De Smet, L.C.P.M. (author), Van der Zant, H.S.J. (author), Dulic, D. (author)A high-current annealing technique is used to fabricate nanogaps and hybrid diamond/graphite structures in boron-doped nanocrystalline diamond films. Nanometer-sized gaps down to ?1?nm are produced using a feedback-controlled current annealing procedure. The nanogaps are characterized using scanning electron microscopy and electronic transport...journal article 2012

Calado, V.E. (author), Schneider, G.F. (author), Theulings, A.M.M.G. (author), Dekker, C. (author), Vandersypen, L.M.K. (author)We study the formation of wrinkles in graphene upon wet transfer onto a hydrophilic target substrate, whereby draining of water appears to play an important role. We are able to control the orientation of the wrinkles by tuning the surface morphology. Wrinkles are absent in flakes transferred to strongly hydrophobic substrates, a further...journal article 2012

(author), Eggleton, B.J. (author), O'Brien, J.L. (author)We demonstrate a 1550 nm correlated photon-pair source in an integrated glass platform—a chalcogenide As2S3 waveguide. A measured pair coincidence rate of 80?s?1 was achieved using 57 mW of continuous-wave pump. The coincidence to accidental ratio was shown to be limited by spontaneous Raman scattering effects that are expected to be mitigated...journal article 2011

Burns, G.R. (author), Favier, F. (author), Jones, D.J. (author), Rozière, J. (author), Kearley, G.J. (author)Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is a key molecule in the family of charge-transfer salts of interest for their novel transport properties. The correspondence between transport property and electron-molecular vibration coupling requires that we understand the phonon density of states for these materials. Here we report the results of a low temperature...journal article 2003
