The performance of ultra-wide band gap materials like $beta$-Ga$_mathrm{2}$O$_mathrm{3}$ is critically dependent on achieving high average electric fields within the active region of the device. In this report, we show that high-k gate dielectrics like BaTiO$_mathrm{3}$ can provide an efficient field management strategy by improving the uniformity of electric field profile in the gate-drain region of lateral field effect transistors. Using this strategy, we were able to achieve high average breakdown fields of 1.5 MV/cm and 4 MV/cm at gate-drain spacing (L$_mathrm{gd}$) of 6 um and 0.6 um respectively in $beta$-Ga$_mathrm{2}$O$_mathrm{3}$, at a high channel sheet charge density of 1.8x10$^mathrm{13}$cm$^mathrm{-2}$. The high sheet charge density together with high breakdown field enabled a record power figure of merit (V$^mathrm{2}$$_mathrm{br}$/R$_mathrm{on}$) of 376 MW/cm$^mathrm{2}$ at a gate-drain spacing of 3 um.

The epitaxial growth of technically-important $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ semiconductor thin films have not been realized on flexible substrates due to limitations by the high-temperature crystallization conditions and the lattice-matching requirements. In th
is report, for the first time single crystal $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$(-201) thin films is epitaxially grown on the flexible CeO2 (001)-buffered hastelloy tape. The results indicate that CeO$_2$ (001) has a small bi-axial lattice mismatch with $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ (-201), thus inducing a simultaneous double-domain epitaxial growth. Flexible photodetectors are fabricated based on the epitaxial $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ coated tapes. Measurements show that the obtained photodetectors have a responsivity of 40 mA/W, with an on/off ratio reaching 1000 under 250 nm incident light and 5 V bias voltage. Such photoelectrical performance is already within the mainstream level of the $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ based photodetectors by using the conventional rigid single crystal substrates; and more importantly remained robust against more than 1000 cycles of bending tests. In addition, the epitaxy technique described in the report also paves the way for the fabrication of a wide range of flexible epitaxial film devices that utilize the materials with lattice parameters similar to $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$, including GaN, AlN and SiC.
Nanoscale semiconductor materials have been extensively investigated as the channel materials of transistors for energy-efficient low-power logic switches to enable scaling to smaller dimensions. On the opposite end of transistor applications is powe
r electronics for which transistors capable of switching very high voltages are necessary. Miniaturization of energy-efficient power switches can enable the integration with various electronic systems and lead to substantial boosts in energy efficiency. Nanotechnology is yet to have an impact in this arena. In this work, it is demonstrated that nanomembranes of the wide-bandgap semiconductor gallium oxide can be used as channels of transistors capable of switching high voltages, and at the same time can be integrated on any platform. The findings mark a step towards using lessons learnt in nanomaterials and nanotechnology to address a challenge that yet remains untouched by the field.
All-dielectric nanoantennas have recently opened exciting opportunities for functional nanophotonics, owing to their strong optical resonances along with low material loss in the near-infrared range. Pushing these concepts to the visible range is hin
dered by a larger absorption coefficient of Si and other high-index semiconductors, thus encouraging the search for alternative dielectrics for nanophotonics. In this paper, we employ bandgap engineering to synthesize hydrogenated amorphous Si nanoparticles (a-Si:H NPs) offering ideal features for functional nanophotonics. We observe significant material loss suppression in a-Si:H NPs in the visible range caused by hydrogenation-induced bandgap renormalization, producing resonant modes in single a-Si:H NPs with Q factors up to ~100, in the visible and near-IR range for the first time. In order to demonstrate light-matter interaction enhancement, we realize highly tunable all-dielectric nanoantennas coupling them to photochromic spiropyran (SP) molecules. We show ~70% reversible all-optical tuning of light scattering at the high-Q resonant mode, along with minor tunability when out of resonance. This remarkable all-optical tuning effect is achieved under a low incident light intensity ~3.8 W/cm2 for UV light and ~1.1*10^2 W/cm2 for green light.
Optical phase change materials (O-PCMs), a unique group of materials featuring drastic optical property contrast upon solid-state phase transition, have found widespread adoption in photonic switches and routers, reconfigurable meta-optics, reflectiv
e display, and optical neuromorphic computers. Current phase change materials, such as Ge-Sb-Te (GST), exhibit large contrast of both refractive index (delta n) and optical loss (delta k), simultaneously. The coupling of both optical properties fundamentally limits the function and performance of many potential applications. In this article, we introduce a new class of O-PCMs, Ge-Sb-Se-Te (GSST) which breaks this traditional coupling, as demonstrated with an optical figure of merit improvement of more than two orders of magnitude. The first-principle computationally optimized alloy, Ge2Sb2Se4Te1, combines broadband low optical loss (1-18.5 micron), large optical contrast (delta n = 2.0), and significantly improved glass forming ability, enabling an entirely new field of infrared and thermal photonic devices. We further leverage the material to demonstrate nonvolatile integrated optical switches with record low loss and large contrast ratio, as well as an electrically addressed, microsecond switched pixel level spatial light modulator, thereby validating its promise as a platform material for scalable nonvolatile photonics.
Layered materials (LMs) are at the centre of an ever increasing research effort due to their potential use in a variety of applications. The presence of imperfections, such as bi- or multilayer areas, holes, grain boundaries, isotropic and anisotropi
c deformations, etc. are detrimental for most (opto)electronic applications. Here, we present a set-up able to transform a conventional scanning electron microscope into a tool for structural analysis of a wide range of LMs. An hybrid pixel electron detector below the sample makes it possible to record two dimensional (2d) diffraction patterns for every probe position on the sample surface (2d), in transmission mode, thus performing a 2d+2d=4d STEM (scanning transmission electron microscopy) analysis. This offers a field of view up to 2 mm2, while providing spatial resolution in the nm range, enabling the collection of statistical data on grain size, relative orientation angle, bilayer stacking, strain, etc. which can be mined through automated open-source data analysis software. We demonstrate this approach by analyzing a variety of LMs, such as mono- and multi-layer graphene, graphene oxide and MoS2, showing the ability of this method to characterize them in the tens of nm to mm scale. This wide field of view range and the resulting statistical information are key for large scale applications of LMs.
