Compact, energy-efficient, and autonomous wireless sensor nodes offer incredible versatility
for various applications across different environments. Although these devices transmit and …

Schottky diode (SD) has seen great improvements in the past few decades and, for many
THz applications, it is the most useful device. However, the use and recycling of forms of …

Although graphene has the longest mean free path of carriers of any known electronic
material, very few novel devices have been reported to harness this extraordinary property …

Although the effect of resonant tunneling in metal-double-insulator-metal (MI2M) diodes has
been predicted for over two decades, no experimental demonstrations have been reported …

Optical rectennas for infrared energy harvesting commonly incorporate metal/double-
insulator/metal diodes. Required diode characteristics include high responsivity and low …

Optical rectennas are expected to be applied as power sources for energy harvesting
because they can convert a wide range of electromagnetic waves, from visible light to …

High-dielectric constant (high-k) gate oxides and low-dielectric constant (low-k) interlayer
dielectrics (ILD) have dominated the nanoelectronic materials research scene over the past …

The operation of large-scale reverse osmosis units in combination with different solar power
plants, both, Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and Photovoltaics (PV) has been evaluated …

The impedance mismatch between a rectenna's two components, the antenna and the
rectifying diode, represents a serious impediment to improving the rectenna's efficiency …

We investigate, for the first time, optimization of the responsivity of metal-insulator-insulator-
metal (MIIM) diodes by carefully considering materials' properties. The diode's resistance is …
