Title Ultra Low Power Ionizing Dose Sensor Based on Complementary Fully Depleted MOS Transistors for Radiotherapy Application Type Journal Article
Year 2019 Publication IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science Abbreviated Journal IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science
Volume Issue Pages 1-1
Keywords Transistors; Temperature measurement; Voltage measurement; Threshold voltage; Radiation effects; Current measurement; Semiconductor device measurement; Silicon radiation detectors; Ionizing radiation sensors; Silicon-on-insulator
Abstract We evaluate the use of the thick buried oxide (BOX) of Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) transistors for Total Ionizing Dose (TID) measurements in a radiotherapy application. The devices were fabricated with a custom process in UniversitC) Catholique de Louvain (UCL) which allows to make accumulation mode PMOS transistors and inversion mode NMOS transistors. We characterized the temperature behavior of these devices and the response under X-ray radiation produced by an Elekta radiotherapy linear accelerator, and compared the obtained dose sensitivity to other published works. Taking advantage of these devices, an ultra low power MOS ionizing dose sensor, or MOS dosimeter, with inherent temperature compensation is presented. This dosimeter achieved a sensitivity of 154 mV/Gy with a temperature error factor of 13 mGy/°C and a current consumption below 1 nA.

Title In Plane Vortex Dynamic Anisotropy in the Iron Deficient Fe_{1-y}Se Superconductor Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication Journal of Low Temperature Physics Abbreviated Journal J. Low Temp. Phys.
Volume 179 Issue 1-2 Pages 9-14
Keywords Iron-based superconductors; Electrical transport; Critical currents
Abstract We present electrical transport measurements in the superconducting dissipative state of crystalline iron deficient Fe 1−y Se samples. These iron deficient samples were synthesized using NaCl/KCl flux and are characterized by the presence of correlated defects. The dissipation in electrical transport experiments, when the driving current is perpendicular or parallel to the crystal planes, depends strongly on the direction of the applied magnetic field , ( H=12 T), within the sample plane. There is a dissipation modulation each 60∘ due to the presence of the correlated defects. We correlate these angular dependent features with the variation of the critical currents ( Jc ) changing the direction of H confined in the crystals planes. Jc was measured from magnetization loops at fixed temperatures and angles of H always within the basal planes.

Title Micromechanical magnetometer using an all-silicon nonlinear torsional resonator Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication Applied Physics Letters Abbreviated Journal Appl. Phys. Lett.
Volume 95 Issue 13 Pages 133505-3
Keywords damping; eddy currents; elemental semiconductors; magnetometers; micromechanical devices; nonlinear dynamical systems; oscillations; Q-factor; resonators; silicon
Abstract In this work, a micromagnetometer employing a nonlinear torsional resonator with a high quality factor Q is presented experimentally. Oscillatory rotation of a conducting plate in the sensed magnetic field H induces eddy currents that dissipate energy. Due to the nonlinear response of the oscillator, the resulting mechanical damping originates frequency shifts in the resonance curve that depend on H. Nonlinearity results from the electrostatic detection, which introduces high order electrical spring constants. The device is fabricated with a standard silicon process and does not incorporate ferromagnetic materials. An analytical nonlinear model that correctly describes the device is also introduced.

Title Direct visualization of local interaction forces in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ vortex matter Type Journal Article
Year 2019 Publication Materials Today: Proceedings Abbreviated Journal XXIII Latin American Symposium on Solid State Physics (SLAFES XXIII), San Carlos de Bariloche, Argen
Volume 14 Issue Pages 34-37
Keywords Vortex matter; Pinning forces; Layered superconductors
Abstract We study the local vortex-vortex interaction force fi of the structure frozen during a field-cooling process in an electron-irradiated Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ sample. We compute this magnitude from snapshots of the vortex structure obtained via magnetic decoration experiments at various fields H in the same sample. Since the observed structures correspond to the equilibrium ones frozen at T∼Tirr(H)[1], at this temperature the local modulus of fi roughly equals the local pinning force at the decorated surface of the sample. We estimate the most probable local pinning force from the mode value of the fi(r)distribution, fpm. We found that fpm grows algebraically with H and in electron-irradiated samples is 50-20% smaller than for samples with columnar defects.

Title Geometrical Confinement Effects in Layered Mesoscopic Vortex Matter Type Journal Article
Year 2015 Publication Journal of Low Temperature Physics Abbreviated Journal J. Low Temp. Phys.
Volume 179 Issue 1-2 Pages 35-41
Keywords Vortex matter; Mesoscopic physics; Layered superconductors
Abstract We study the geometrical confinement effect in Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ mesoscopic vortex matter with edge-to-surface ratio of 7–12 %. Samples have in-plane square and circular edges, 30 μ m widths, and ∼ 2 μ m thickness. Direct vortex imaging reveals the compact planes of the structure align with the sample edge by introducing topological defects. The defect density is larger for circular than for square edges. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that this density is not an out-of-equilibrium property but rather determined by the geometrical confinement.

Abstract We measure transverse AC losses in the low- and high-amplitude regime of 2H-NbSe2 single crystals using vibrating superconductor methods. The measurements are sensitive to small deviations of the critical state. The data constitute evidence for a peak effect of the critical current as a function of the temperature in this compound. We construct in the H-T phase diagram the “peak-effect” line which is supposed to mark an abrupt cross-over in the vortex-pinning regime.

Abstract The linear temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity has been taken to be one of the characteristic features of the ceramic superconductors. Measurements of the electrical resistance of the LaSrCuO system in a wide temperature range show that the previous statement is only an approximation valid for some values of the Sr concentration.

Title Inducing superconductivity at a nanoscale: Photodoping with a near- field scanning optical microscope Type Journal Article
Year 1999 Publication Journal of Microscopy Abbreviated Journal J. Microsc.
Volume 194 Issue 2-3 Pages 407-411
Keywords High critical temperature superconductors; Near-field microscopy; Photoconductivity; Photoinduced superconductivity; barium; copper derivative; gadolinium; nanoparticle; conductance; conference paper; crystal structure; crystallography; density; fiber optics; film; illumination; magnetic field; photoactivation; priority journal; reflectometry; scanning near field optical microscopy; temperature
Abstract The local modification of an insulating GdBa2Cu3O6.5 thin film, made superconducting by illumination with a near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM), is reported. A 100-nm aperture NSOM probe acts as a sub- wavelength light source of wavelength ?(exc)=480-650 nm, locally generating photocarriers in an otherwise insulating GdBa2-Cu3O6.5 thin film. Of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs, electrons are trapped in the crystallographic lattice, defining an electrostatic confining potential to enable the holes to move. Reflectance measurements at ? = 1.55 ?m at room temperature show that photocarriers can be induced and constrained to move on a ?? 200 nm scale for all investigated ?(exc). Photogenerated wires present a superconducting critical temperature T(c) = 12 K with a critical current density J(c) = 104 A cm-2. Exploiting the flexibility provided by photodoping through a NSOM probe, a junction was written by photodoping a wire with a narrow (? 50 nm) under-illuminated gap. The strong magnetic field modulation of the critical current provides a clear signature of the existence of a Josephson effect in the junction.

Abstract Experiments were carried out to probe the underdoped insulating material by the Josephson effect. Junctions were fabricated by exploiting the capability of locally photodoping insulating RBa2Cu3O6+x (R = rare earth) material. The existence of an anomalously large proximity effect was confirmed. The critical current of the junctions was consisted with the conventional Josephson relationship.

Title Correlation between critical current and resistivity in YBa2Cu3O7 Type Journal Article
Year 1991 Publication Physica C: Superconductivity and its applications Abbreviated Journal Phys C Supercond Appl
Volume 185-189 Issue PART 4 Pages 2447-2448
Keywords Ceramic Materials; Yttrium Compounds--Electric Conductivity; Critical Currents; Oxide Superconductors; Yttrium Barium Copper Oxides; High Temperature Superconductors
Abstract Critical current versus temperature measurements were carried out in ceramic YBa2Cu3O7 samples. The samples were all prepared using the same sintering procedure, but starting from powders obtained by different wet and dry methods. All samples showed a linear Jc vs. T behaviour, typical of Josephson weak-link coupling, with a slope that depends on the preparation method. Using the Ambegaokar-Baratoff relation for Jc, the difference in slopes can be attributed to a change in the characteristic value of the junction resistance. This value turns out to be clearly correlated with the resistivity in the normal state.
