Valley filtering in 8-Pmmn borophene based on an electrostatic waveguide constriction
Materials with tilted Dirac cones, such as 8-Pmmn borophene, are being explored for valleytronic applications as the tilting direction is different for nonequivalent valleys. In this paper, a valley-filtering device based on electrostatic waveguides is proposed. First, these waveguides are
Differential Interconnects with Integrated Equalization and Common-Mode Filtering for Broadband Signal Integrity Enhancement in High-Speed PAM-4 Signaling
In high-speed differential interconnects on printed circuit boards, signal integrity (SI) issues arise when neglecting the inherent low-pass characteristic and ubiquitous presence of common-mode noise. This work proposes a novel open-circuited stub equalizer with integrated common-mode filter in order to
Power-efficient Near-field Focusing for Upcoming 6G MIMO Networks
An accurate and efficient near-field intensity shaping method is proposed, capable of reproducing sharp patterns while simplifying the design requirements of the array’s feeding network. The shaping problem is tackled by an efficient far-to-near-field transform, based on a spherical Fourier
Analysis of Electrostatically Induced Interconnect Structures in Single-Layer Graphene via a Conservative First-Principles Modeling Technique
Electrostatically induced interconnect structures in graphene are an alluring alternative for nanoribbons to be used in future integrated circuits (ICs) because of the avoidance of edge scattering. In this contribution, these structures are analyzed using a novel first-principles modeling approach,
Fokas Based Dirichlet-to-Neumann Operators for Accurate Signal Integrity Assessment of Interconnects
In this contribution, we present a new approach to fully characterize interconnects composed out of arbitrary polygonal cross-sections and containing piecewise homogeneous material parameters. The complex per-unit-of-length inductance and capacitance matrices are obtained through the application of pertinent Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators,
Solving the Fully Coupled Time-Dependent Maxwell-Dirac System: A Second-Order Accurate Numerical Scheme
Owing to their increased carrier velocities, Dirac materials have become a promising option for the integration into nanoelectronics. However, without the aid of simulation software that is able to accurately describe the behavior of these materials, the fabrication of novel
