Scientists devise 'living' electrodes that could vastly improve traditional silicon electronics | Electronic signals can be dynamically adjusted by heating and cooling metamaterial
Researchers at Osaka University in Suita, Japan, have devised a novel way to improve the performance of electronic devices. The study, published in ACS Applied Electronic Materials,...
The study, published in ACS Applied Electronic Materials, involved laying down a metamaterial called vanadium dioxide (VO₂) on top of a traditional substrate like silicon. The size of the metallic domains in the VO₂ layer, tens of times larger than what has been conventionally achieved, was controlled through temperature regulation, which in turn modulated the response of the silicon substrate to terahertz light." When the VO₂ focuses the electrical field into the tiny gaps between the metal regions, it triggers a chain reaction of electron movement, which creates a substantial signal boost.
