Applicant will deal with the growth and processing of epitaxial III-N quantum structures prepared by metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition. Main emphasize will be given to heterostructure quantum wells containing In(Al)N compounds for future ultra-fast transistors, mixed-signal electronics as well as GaN-based vertical switches. Material study will include several techniques for structural, electrical and optical investigations. Finally,…
InN has been recognized as a far-reaching candidate for ultra-high-speed electronics since almost two decades ago. Indeed, very recently these expectations were supported by us extracting the electron drift velocity of 1 ×108 cm/s in 775-nm thick InN, the highest ever reported value in any semiconductor material. We report proof-of-concept N-polar InN/In0.61Al0.39N heterostructures. 20-nm thick…

High field superconducting magnets have many present and potential future applications, such as medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider for research, fusion reactors for energy applications, and high field scientific experiments, which require tens of Teslas of magnetic field strength. These magnets usually consist of several pancake coils…

Organized by the IEEE Nanotechnology Council together with the Institute of Electrical Engineering at the Slovak Academy of Sciences, and supported by international partners from Sumy State University, the Wolfgang Pauli Institute (WPI) Vienna, the University of…
Due to the growing demand for eco-friendly and energy-efficient technology, superconducting generators and motors are gaining more and more popularity. In particular, the use of a superconducting racetrack coil in either the rotor or stator of electric motors for air transport is a significant advancement in electrical engineering, being the most promising technology that could…
High-temperature superconductors represent a unique class of materials capable of conducting electric current without resistance at significantly higher temperatures compared to conventional superconductors – often even at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (77 K). These materials have a wide range of applications in modern technologies, from lossless power transmission to magnetic levitation and quantum computing….
Superconducting devices require cryogenic temperatures to function, which usually requires coolant such as liquid helium. Operating magnets at liquid helium temperatures is expensive and also the operating temperature is close to the boiling point of helium. A situation can occur, where a heat is generated locally in the magnet, which leads to vaporization of the…
