Dielectric materials that are low-loss in the visible spectrum provide a promising platform to realize the pragmatic features of metasurfaces. Here, all-dielectric, highly efficient, spin-encoded transmission-type metaholograms (in the visible domain) are demonstrated by utilizing hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). In comparison to previously reported visible metaholograms based on TiO2 and other dielectric materials, all-dielectric metasurfaces provide a cost-effective more straightforwardly fabricated (aspect ratio 4.7), CMOS compatible, and comparably efficient solution in the visible domain. A unique way of utilizing polarization as an extra degree of freedom in the design to implement transmission-type helicity-encoded metaholograms is also proposed. The produced images exhibit high fidelity under both right and left circularly polarized illuminations. The proposed cost-effective and CMOS-compatible material and methods open up an avenue for on-chip development of numerous new phenomena with high efficiency in the visible domain.

A feasibility study for controlling self-organized production of plasmonic enhancement interfaces for solar cells

The decoration of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) by the self-organized mechanism of dewetting is utilized as a suitable method for plasmonic interface integration to large area full-scale solar cell (SC) devices. Reflection measurements are performed on both flat and textured silicon (Si) SCs in order to investigate the local plasmonic resonances of the MNPs. The effects of particle size and thickness of silicon nitride (Si3N4)anti-reflection coating layer are investigated by reflection measurements and the shi...

Silicon is an excellent material for microelectronics and integrated photonics(1-3), with untapped potential for mid-infrared optics(4). Despite broad recognition of the importance of the third dimension(5,6), current lithography methods do not allow the fabrication of photonic devices and functional microelements directly inside silicon chips. Even relatively simple curved geometries cannot be realized with techniques like reactive ion etching. Embedded optical elements(7), electronic devices and better el...
A First-Order Transition of the Smectic A-Smectic C* in Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals
Kilit, E.; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2012-01-01)
The static dielectric constant is calculated as a function of temperature using a mean field model close to the smectic A-smectic C* transition for the ferroelectric liquid crystal 4-(3-methyl-2-chlorobutanoyloxy)-4'-heptyloxybiphenyl (A7). This calculation of the dielectric constant is performed for the pure optically active compound (T-c = 73.4 degrees C) and the temperature range is determined for a first-order smectic A-smectic C* transition from the mean field model. Our predicted values describe adequ...
A crystal plasticity based finite element framework for RVE calculations of two-phase materials: Void nucleation in dual-phase steels
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Çakmak, Serhat Onur (Elsevier BV, 2021-05-01)
A crystal plasticity based finite element (CPFE) framework is developed for performing representative volume element (RVE) calculations on two-phase materials. The present paper investigates the mechanical response and the evolution of microstructure of dual-phase (DP) steels under uniaxial tensile loading, with a special focus on void nucleation. The spatial distribution and morphology of the ferrite and martensite grains in DP steels are explicitly accounted for by generating three-dimensional RVEs with V...
A Self-Powered and Efficient Rectifier for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters
Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2014-11-05)
This paper presents an interface circuit for efficient rectification of voltages from electromagnetic (EM) energy harvesters operating with very low vibration frequencies. The interface utilizes a dual-rail AC/DC doubler which benefits from the full cycle of the input AC voltage, and minimizes the forward bias voltage drop with an active diode structure. The active diodes are powered through an AC/DC quadrupler with diode connected (passive) transistors. The interface system has been validated to drive 22 m...
