The results show that, increasing the effective relative permittivity of the Ph C leads to a downward shift of the photonic bandgap and a variation of the coupling length. A compact Ph C 1.31/1.55 μm wavelength division multiplexer（WDM）/demultiplexer with simple structure is proposed,where the output power ratios are more than 24 d B. This WDM can multiplex/demultiplex other light waves efficiently.展开更多

Recently, artificially-stacked materials have been considered promising candidates for nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications. In this study, we report the vertical integration of layered structures for the fabrication of prototype non-volatile memory devices. A semiconducting-tungsten-disulfide-channel-based memory device is created by sandwiching high-density-of-states multi-layered graphene as a carrier-confining layer between tunnel barriers of hexagonal boron nitride （hBN） and silicon dioxide. The results reveal that a memory window of up to 20 V is opened, leading to a high current ratio （〉103） between programming and erasing states. The proposed design combination produced layered materials that allow devices to attain perfect retention at 13% charge loss after 10 years, offering new possibilities for the integration of transparent, flexible electronic systems.展开更多
