In this paper strain transfer efficiencies from single crystalline piezoelectric lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN-PT) substrate to a GaAs semiconductor membrane bonded on top are investigated using state-of-the-art x-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques and finite-element-method (FEM) simulations. Two different bonding techniques are studied, namely gold-thermo-compression and polymer-based SU8 bonding. Our results show a much higher strain-transfer for the soft SU8 bonding in comparison to the hard bonding via gold-thermo-compression. A comparison between the XRD results and FEM simulations allows to explain this unexpected result with the presence of complex interface structures between the different layers.
We report on a systematic study of the stress transferred from an electromechanical piezo-stack into GaAs wafers under a wide variety of experimental conditions. We show that the strains in the semiconductor lattice, which were monitored in situ by m
The tailoring of the physical properties of semiconductor nanomaterials by strain has been gaining increasing attention over the last years for a wide range of applications such as electronics, optoelectronics and photonics. The ability to introduce
Tuning and reconfiguring nanophotonic components is needed to realize systems incorporating many components. The electrostatic force can deform a structure and tune its optical response. Despite the success of electrostatic actuators, they suffer fro
We present a high resolution method for measuring magnetostriction in millisecond pulsed magnetic fields at cryogenic temperatures with a sensitivity of $1.11times10^{-11}/sqrt{rm Hz}$. The sample is bonded to a thin piezoelectric plate, such that wh
Spintronic devices based on antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials hold the promise of fast switching speeds and robustness against magnetic fields. Different device concepts have been predicted and experimentally demonstrated, such as low-temperature AFM
