A 60-GHz Wideband Slot Antenna Based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide Cavity

This paper proposes a new wideband W-band substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed slot (CBS) antenna. The SIW cavity suppresses the backward radiation and ensures this antenna have a very low profile (only about 4% of the operating wavelength). Several techniques, such as slot resonator with semicircular end, quarter-wavelength microstrip resonator, are introduced to improve impedance matching. The studied results demonstrate that this antenna has wide operating bandwidth in 54.3–67 GHz (about 20.9% of the fractional bandwidth), unidirectional radiation pattern and good linear polarization characteristic. These properties are very suitable for RF front-end system-on-package (SoP) design in millimeter wave wireless communication systems.

Gate Tunable Supercurrent in Josephson Junctions Based on Bi_2Te_3 Topological Insulator Thin Films

We report transport measurements on Josephson junctions consisting of Bi_2Te_3 topological insulator(TI) thin films contacted by superconducting Nb electrodes.For a device with junction length L=134 nm,the critical supercurrent I_c can be modulated by an electrical gate which tunes the carrier type and density of the TI film.I_c can reach a minimum when the TI is near the charge neutrality regime with the Fermi energy lying close to the Dirac point of the surface state.In the p-type regime the Josephson current can be well described by a short ballistic junction model.In the n-type regime the junction is ballistic at 0.7 K T 3.8 K while for T 0.7 K the diffusive bulk modes emerge and contribute a larger I_c than the ballistic model.We attribute the lack of diffusive bulk modes in the p-type regime to the formation of p-n junctions.Our work provides new clues for search of Majorana zero mode in TI-based superconducting devices.

Instability of Epitaxially Strained Thin Films Based on Nonlocal Elasticity

We perform a linear analysis of the elastic fields and stability of epitaxially strained thin films based on nonlocal elasticity. We derive expressions of perturbed stresses to the first order of perturbation amplitude, which show that the stresses are directly proportional to the lattice mismatch and the perturbation amplitude, and decrease with an increase in the perturbation wavelength. The critical perturbation wavelength distinguishes whether the flat film for the perturbation is stable, which is inversely proportional to the square of the mismatch and decreases with the thickness of the film.
