  • Monolithic mtesla-level magnetic induction by self-rolled-up membrane technology

    Science Advances · 2020 · 53 citations

    Senior authorCorresponding

    , respectively. The simulated intensity of the magnetic induction reaches tens of mtesla in fabricated devices at 10 MHz.

  • High‐Frequency Inductors by Co‐Design Optimization of Self‐Rolled‐up Membrane Technology

    Advanced Electronic Materials · 2025-01-30 · 1 citations

    articleOpen accessSenior authorCorresponding

    Abstract Self‐rolled‐up membrane (S‐RuM) 3D microtube inductors represent a significant advancement in miniaturization for radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit applications, particularly internet‐of‐things and 5G/6G communications. These inductors have excellent high‐frequency performance due to better confinement of the magnetic field and weak dependence on substrate conductivity. However, previously reported S‐RuM inductor frequencies are limited by the crosstalk capacitance between overlap…

  • Pronounced visible luminescence in GaN by high-temperature anion implantation

    Applied Physics Letters · 2025-09-01 · 1 citations

    articleSenior author

    Chemically robust III-nitrides (III-N) with bandgaps in the visible spectral range are critical for advancing emerging technologies such as solar-driven photocatalysis and optoelectronics. Conventional methods for bandgap reduction of GaN, such as increasing indium content in InGaN alloys, are limited by lattice mismatch strain-induced defects that compromise device performance. Incorporating small number of anions like arsenic (As) or antimony (Sb) offers an alternative through significant band…

  • Graduate Training in Quantum Information Science and Engineering: Lessons, Challenges, and a Roadmap from the NSF Research Traineeship Programs

    arXiv (Cornell University) · 2026-05-08

    preprintOpen access

    Since 2019, eighteen NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) awards in quantum information science and engineering (QISE) and adjacent fields have been funded, constituting the largest NSF-coordinated investment in graduate QISE training in the United States. Synthesizing lessons from our programs, we work through the central tensions that every QISE graduate program must negotiate: between depth in a home discipline and breadth across the field, between structured instruction and open-ended experiential…
