Research on nanometer- thin pyrolyzed-carbon film on silicon nitride membrane is published

The new research paper by Justinas Jorudas et al. just recently was published in the journal Nanotechnology by IOP Publishing. The study reports on one of the first successful attempts to layer down the nm-scale-thick graphitic film on the wide-spectral-range transparent membrane. The results are promising in the field of development of broadband barometric radiation detectors.

Schematic in transmission geometry and transmission in THz rage and optical properties versus sheet resistance. Jorudas et al., Nanotechnology 35 (2024) 305705.

The work is a result of fruitful collaboration between researchers in Center of Photonics Research, University of Eastern Finland, University of Pisa and Istitutute Nanoscienze in Italy and THz Photonics Laboratory at Center for Physical Sciences and Technology in Lithuania.

Electro-optical modulation of terahertz beam by drifting space-charge domains in n-GaN epilayers

The research article by Roman B. Balagula, Liudvikas Subačius, Paweł Prystawko, and Irmantas Kašalynas is published in Journal of Applied Physics, AIP Publishing. The work entitled “Electro-optical modulation of terahertz beam by drifting space-charge domains in n-GaN epilayers” investigates the transmission modulation of THz field in GaN semiconductor as a response to space-charge domains under near-to-breakdown electrical field conditions.

Traces of charge current density j, the electro-optic modulation of THz beam transmission ΔTeo, and the sample specific resistance, Edc/j, found as a ratio between measurements of applied electric field and current density traces.
