#Engineers demonstrate the world first white lasers More luminous and energy efficient than LEDS, white lasers look to be the future in lighting and Li-Fi,
or light-based wireless communication While lasers were invented in 1960 and are used commonly in many applications,
one characteristic of the technology has proven unattainable. No one has been able to create a laser that beams white l lasers are capable of emitting over the full visible color spectrum,
which is necessary to produce a white laser. This schematic illustrates the novel nanosheet with three parallel segments created by the researchers
each supporting laser action in one of three elementary colors. The device is capable of lasing in any visible color, completely tunable from red, green to blue,
or any color in between. When the total field is collected, a white color emerges. The researchers have created a novel nanosheet a thin layer of semiconductor that measures roughly one-fifth of the thickness of human hair in size with a thickness that is roughly one-thousandth of the thickness of human hair with three
parallel segments, each supporting laser action in one of three elementary colors. The device is capable of lasing in any visible color
The researchers, engineers in ASU Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, published their findings in the July 27 issue of the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
Cun-Zheng Ning, professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, authored the paper, monolithic white laser, with his doctoral students Fan Fan, Sunay Turkdogan, Zhicheng Liu
The technological advance puts lasers one step closer to being a mainstream light source and potential replacement or alternative to light emitting diodes (LEDS.
more energy efficient and can potentially provide more accurate and vivid colors for displays like computer screens and televisions.
Ning group has shown already that their structures could cover as much as 70 percent more colors than the current display industry standard.
which the same room lighting systems could be used for both illumination and communication. The technology under development is called Li-Fi for light-based wireless communication,
as opposed to the more prevailing Wi-fi, using radio waves. Li-Fi could be more than 10 times faster than current Wi-fi
and white laser Li-Fi could be 10 to 100 times faster than LED based Li-Fi currently still under development. he concept of white lasers first seems counterintuitive
because the light from a typical laser contains exactly one color, a specific wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum, rather than a broad-range of different wavelengths.
White light is viewed typically as a complete mixture of all of the wavelengths of the visible spectrum, said Ning,
who also spent extended time at Tsinghua University in China during several years of the research.
In typical LED-based lighting a blue LED is coated with phosphor materials to convert a portion of the blue light to green, yellow and red light.
This mixture of colored light will be perceived by humans as white light and can therefore be used for general illumination.
The researchers showed that the human eye is as comfortable with white light generated by diode lasers as with that produced by LEDS,
those independent lasers cannot be used for room lighting or in displays, Ning said. single tiny piece of semiconductor material emitting laser light in all colors
or in white is desired. Semiconductors, usually a solid chemical element or compound arranged into crystals, are used widely for computer chips or for light generation in telecommunication systems.
They have interesting optical properties and are used to make lasers and LEDS because they can emit light of a specific color
when a voltage is applied to them. The most preferred light emitting material for semiconductors is indium gallium nitride
though other materials such as cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide also are used for emitting visible colors. The main challenge, the researchers noted, lies in the way light emitting semiconductor materials are grown
and how they work to emit light of different colors. Typically a given semiconductor emits light of a single colorblue,
green or redthat is determined by a unique atomic structure and energy bandgap. The attice constantrepresents the distance between the atoms.
To produce all possible wavelengths in the visible spectral range you need several semiconductors of very different lattice constants
and energy bandgaps. ur goal is to achieve a single semiconductor piece capable of laser operation in the three fundamental lasing colors.
The piece should be small enough so that people can perceive only one overall mixed color,
instead of three individual colors, said Fan. ut it was not easy. he key obstacle is called an issue lattice mismatch,
or the lattice constant being too different for the various materials required, Liu said. e have not been able to grow different semiconductor crystals together in high enough quality,
using traditional techniques, if their lattice constants are too different. The most desired solution, according to Ning, would be to have a single semiconductor structure that emits all needed colors.
He and his graduate students turned to nanotechnology to achieve their milestone. The key is that at nanometer scale larger mismatches can be tolerated better than in traditional growth techniques for bulk materials.
High quality crystals can be grown even with large mismatch of different lattice constants. Recognizing this unique possibility early on,
Ning group started pursuing the distinctive properties of nanomaterials, such as nanowires or nanosheets, more than 10 years ago.
He and his students have been researching various nanomaterials to see how far they could push the limit of advantages of nanomaterials to explore the high crystal quality growth of very dissimilar materials.
Six years ago, under U s army Research Office funding, they demonstrated that one could indeed grow nanowire materials in a wide range of energy bandgaps
so that color tunable lasing from red to green can be achieved on a single substrate of about one centimeter long.
Later on they realized simultaneous laser operation in green and red from a single semiconductor nanosheet or nanowires.
These achievements triggered Ning thought to push the envelope further to see if a single white laser is ever possible.
proved to be a greater challenge with its wide energy bandgap and very different material properties. e have struggled for almost two years to grow blue emitting materials in nanosheet form,
which is required to demonstrate eventual white lasers, said Turkdogan, who is now assistant professor at University of Yalova in Turkey.
After exhaustive research, the group finally came up with a strategy to create the required shape first
and then convert the materials into the right alloy contents to emit the blue color.
and an important breakthrough that finally made it possible to grow a single piece of structure containing three segments of different semiconductors emitting all needed colors and the white lasers possible.
One of crucial next steps is to achieve the similar white lasers under the drive of a battery.
the world of computing will undergo a revolution of sophistication, speed and energy efficiency that will make even our beefiest conventional machines seem like Stone age clunkers by comparison.
But, before that happens, quantum physicists like the ones in UC Santa barbara's physics professor John Martinis'lab will have to create circuitry that takes advantage of the marvelous computing prowess promised by the quantum bit("qubit),
"while compensating for its high vulnerability to environmentally-induced error. In what they are calling a major milestone,
and imbuing the system with the highly sought-after reliability that will prove foundational for the building of large-scale superconducting quantum computers.
graduate student researcher and co-lead author of a research paper that was published in the journal Nature."
"Unlike classical computing, in which the computer bits exist on one of two binary("yes/no,
which makes qubits prone to"flipping,"especially when in unstable environments, and thus difficult to work with."
"It's hard to process information if it disappears, "said Kelly. However, that obstacle may just have been cleared by Kelly, postdoctoral researcher Rami Barends, staff scientist Austin Fowler and others in the Martinis Group.
The error process involves creating a scheme in which several qubits work together to preserve the information,
Qubits in the grid are responsible for safeguarding the information contained in their neighbors, he explained,
It uses parity information--the measurement of change from the original data (if any)--as opposed to the duplication of the original information that is part of the process of error detection in classical computing.
That way the actual original information that is being preserved in the qubits remains unobserved. Why? Because quantum physics."
Therefore, in something akin to a Sudoku puzzle, the parity values of data qubits in a qubit array are taken by adjacent measurement qubits,
which essentially assess the information in the data qubits by measuring around them.""So you pull out just enough information to detect errors,
This development represents a meeting of the best in the science behind the physical and the theoretical in quantum computing--the latest in qubit stabilization and advances in the algorithms behind the logic of quantum computing."

#French Institutes IRT Nanoelec and CMP Team up to Offer World's First Service for Post-process 3d Technologies on Multi-Project-Wafer IRT Nanoelec,
an R&d consortium focused on ICT using micro-and nanoelectronics, and CMP, which provides prototyping
and low-volume production of ICS and MEMS, are launching a platform for multi-project-wafer, post-process 3d integration (3d-MPW).
The new and disruptive 3d configurations and assemblies created by this IRT Nanoelec/CMP initiative are designed to promote 3d integration.
This service, the first of its kind, extends CMP's regular MPW offer by using mature 3d post-process technologies at wafer level from IRT Nanoelec.
fine-pitch vertical interconnects (micro pillar with solder) and specific finishing for 3d integration like under-bump metallurgy (UBM).
These 3d modules will enable a wide panel of new, full 3d architectures, like multiple-die stacking with flip-chip, side-by-side heterogeneous integration,
and 3d partitioning of different CMOS dies issued from CMP runs. 3d integration is highly complementary to traditional CMOS scaling,
and has very strong potential in terms of size reduction, heterogeneous integration, miniaturization, performance improvements and, possibly, reduction of costs at the system level.
This enables a large group of users to take advantage of cost division made possible, at silicon level,
In addition, it allows 3d-MPW users to divide the cost of post processing. This benefits a large group of customers, such as universities, SMES, research institutes and systems integrators,
that usually do not have access to the 3d modules at large foundries. These 3d post-process technologies require very limited redesign of existing chips,
and will be used initially for specific CMOS nodes available at CMP. They may be extended in the future depending on demand.
More information about this 3d-MPW offer and the 3d technologies from IRT Nanoelec and CMP is available on the websites www. irtnanoelec. fr
specifically, micro-and nanoelectronics. IRT Nanoelec, working within the framework of programs with investments on future technologies, leverages Grenoble proven innovation ecosystem to create the technologies that will power the nanoelectronics of tomorrow,
drive new product development and inspire new applications like the Internet of things for existing technologies. The R&d conducted at IRT Nanoelec provides early insight into how emerging technologies such as 3d integration
and silicon photonics will affect integrated circuits. In addition to its R&d activities, IRT Nanoelec runs a technology transfer program set up to ensure that the innovations developed directly benefit businesses especially small and mid-sized businesses in all industries.
-and nanoelectronics competencies businesses will need to remain competitive in tomorrow global markets. IRT Nanoelec unique organization designed to keep pace with fast-changing markets offers its partners a more agile model than traditional public-private R&d partnerships.

#XEI Scientific and University of Southern California announce a publication in Advanced Materials on the use of downstream plasma cleaning The research team of Associate professor Stephen Cronin is located in the Ming Hseih Department of Electrical engineering
and electron transport at the nanometer scale. Professor Cronin's research spans a broad range of topics including electrical and spectroscopic characterization of carbon nanotubes, graphene,
and other novel lower dimensional materials. 2d materials such as graphene and few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCS) have been attracting a lot of research interest in recent years
since mechanical exfoliation from the 3d bulk was demonstrated. While graphene has many advantages it is suited not to the field of optoelectronics where TMDCS such as molybdenum disulphide (Mos2) have a clear advantage thanks to exhibiting a finite band gap in the visible wavelength range.
The paper describes how gentle oxygen plasma treatment produces direct bandgap transition in many-layer Mos2.*
*The authors (Rohan Dhall et al) chose to use the XEI Evactron Soft Clean plasma cleaner for the process.
Here, the plasma is generated by flowing room air past an electrode supplied with 20 W of RF power at 200 mtorr.
Samples are placed 6-10 cm away from the plasma source. Ionized oxygen atoms diffuse towards the sample chamber with low kinetic energies.
Samples were exposed to the O2 plasma for about three minutes. While typical plasma cleaners used in semiconductor fabrication operate using a"sputtering"mechanism where the sample is bombarded with ions carrying significant kinetic energy
remote plasma cleaners rely mainly on the chemical reactivity of the ionized oxygen to remove surface contaminants.
Analytical techniques including photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) are used to follow the effects of the plasma treatments on a range of samples having different numbers of layers.
The authors successfully demonstrate the generation of an indirect-to-direct bandgap transition in many-layer Mos2 through the use of an easy to use, scalable oxygen induced plasma process.
The direct gap semiconductor show a significantly enhanced PL emission due to the efficient absorption of light in direct gap materials
crucial for application in optoelectronic devices. XEI has sold now more than 2000 Evactron systems worldwide solving contamination problems in many different environments using high vacuum including electron microscopes, FIBS and other vacuum sample chambers.

#Caltech scientists develop cool process to make better graphene Abstract: A new technique invented at Caltech to produce graphene--a material made up of an atom-thick layer of carbon--at room temperature could help pave the way for commercially feasible graphene-based solar cells and light-emitting diodes, large-panel displays, and flexible electronics."
"With this new technique, we can grow large sheets of electronic-grade graphene in much less time
and at much lower temperatures,"says Caltech staff scientist David Boyd, who developed the method.
Boyd is the first author of a new study, published in the March 18 issue of the journal Nature Communications,
detailing the new manufacturing process and the novel properties of the graphene it produces. Graphene could revolutionize a variety of engineering and scientific fields due to its unique properties,
which include a tensile strength 200 times stronger than steel and an electrical mobility that is two to three orders of magnitude better than silicon.
The electrical mobility of a material is a measure of how easily electrons can travel across its surface.
and many steps,"says Caltech physics professor Nai-Chang Yeh, the Fletcher Jones Foundation Co-Director of the Kavli Nanoscience Institute and the corresponding author of the new study."
at that time a Caltech professor of mechanical engineering and applied physics, was trying to reproduce a graphene-manufacturing process he had read about in a scientific journal.
"says Boyd, who now works with Yeh's research group.""But the recipe wasn't working.
the phone rang. While Boyd took the call, he unintentionally let a copper foil heat for longer than usual before exposing it to methane vapor,
which is important for calculating the amount of energy a single particle of light, or photon, Boyd wondered
The solution Boyd hit upon was to use a system first developed in the 1960s to generate a hydrogen plasma--that is
as a result of thermal expansion and contraction processes--are generated. This in turn eliminates the need for multiple postproduction steps."
"Work by Yeh's group and international collaborators later revealed that graphene made using the new technique is of higher quality than graphene made using conventional methods:
The team thinks one reason their technique is so efficient is that a chemical reaction between the hydrogen plasma
But graphene growth with the plasma technique is more orderly. The graphene deposits form lines that then grow into a seamless sheet,
A scaled-up version of their plasma technique could open the door for new kinds of electronics manufacturing,
For example, graphene sheets with low concentrations of defects could be used to protect materials against degradation from exposure to the environment.
Another possibility would be to grow large sheets of graphene that can be used as a transparent conducting electrode for solar cells and display panels."
"In the future, you could have based graphene cellphone displays that generate their own power, "Yeh says. Another possibility, she says,
"If you can strain graphene by design at the nanoscale, you can artificially engineer its properties.
But for this to work, you need to start with a perfectly smooth, strain-free sheet of graphene,
"##Along with Yeh and Boyd, additional authors on the paper,"Single-Step Deposition Of high-Mobility Graphene at Reduced Temperatures,"include Caltech graduate students Wei Hsiang Lin, Chen Chih
Caltech staff scientist Marcus Teague; Yuan-Yen Lo, Tsung-Chih Cheng, and Chih-I Wu of National Taiwan University;
and Wen-Yuan Chan, Wei-Bing Su, and Chia-Seng Chang of the Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica.##

#Rice fine-tunes quantum dots from coal: Rice university scientists gain control of electronic, fluorescent properties of coal-based graphene Abstract:
Graphene quantum dots made from coal, introduced in 2013 by the Rice university lab of chemist James Tour,
can be engineered for specific semiconducting properties in either of two single-step processes. In a new study this week in the American Chemical Society journal Applied materials & Interfaces, Tour and colleagues demonstrated fine control over the graphene oxide dots'size-dependent band gap,
the property that makes them semiconductors. Quantum dots are semiconducting materials that are small enough to exhibit quantum mechanical properties that only appear at the nanoscale.
Tour's group found they could produce quantum dots with specific semiconducting properties by sorting them through ultrafiltration
a method commonly used in municipal and industrial water filtration and in food production. The other single-step process involved direct control of the reaction temperature in the oxidation process that reduced coal to quantum dots.
The researchers found hotter temperatures produced smaller dots, which had different semiconducting properties. Tour said graphene quantum dots may prove highly efficient in applications ranging from medical imaging to additions to fabrics and upholstery for brighter and longer-lasting colors."
"Quantum dots generally cost about $1 million per kilogram and we can now make them in an inexpensive reaction between coal
and acid, followed by separation. And the coal is less than $100 per ton.""The dots in these experiments all come from treatment of anthracite, a kind of coal.
The processes produce batches in specific sizes between 4. 5 and 70 nanometers in diameter.
Graphene quantum dots are photoluminescent, which means they emit light of a particular wavelength in response to incoming light of a different wavelength.
The emitted light ranges from green (smaller dots) to orange-red (larger dots. Because the emitted color also depends on the dots'size,
this property can also be tuned, Tour said. The lab found quantum dots that emit blue light were easiest to produce from bituminous coal.
The researchers suggested their quantum dots may also enhance sensing, electronic and photovoltaic applications. For instance, catalytic reactions could be enhanced by manipulating the reactive edges of quantum dots.
Their fluorescence could make them suitable for metal or chemical detection applications by tuning to avoid interference with the target materials'emissions.
