1/f noise
Peter Hadley
https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz/j.php?MTID=mdcdb6c1cabf911c39e820cae6191f94e

Fluctuations in many systems such as traffic, avalanches, the stock market, or electronic devices often have a power spectral density that is often approximately inversely proportional to the frequency. This means that the low frequency components of the noise have a higher ampli ... more

Deposition of ZnO on Si substrates using ALD with outlook towards area-selective ALD
Lukas Martin Wolfsberger
https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz/j.php?MTID=mdcdb6c1cabf911c39e820cae6191f94e

Nanomaterials, -structuring and -films are important aspects in electronics, optics and medicine. ALD (atomic layer deposition) is a special process to create such thin films in the nanorange. In this work plasma enhanced and thermal ALD was used to deposit ZnO layers on substrat ... more

Fundamental limits on the Detectivity of IR Photodetectors for Spectral Sensing
Markus Baier
https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz/j.php?MTID=mdcdb6c1cabf911c39e820cae6191f94e

The extended-SWIR wavelength band (1.0 - 2.4 μm) exhibits a performance gap for infrared detectors, although this band is of high interest for various applications. Particularly, room-temperature operated detectors for IR spectroscopy show high market potential. Since so far ... more

Optimization and realization of piezoelectric floor harvesters
Asier Alvarez , HEP group, Joanneum Research-Materials
https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz/j.php?MTID=mdcdb6c1cabf911c39e820cae6191f94e

Smart floors are devices consisting on floor tiles with integrated sensor networks. In particular, piezoelectric sensors make the floor pressure-sensitive, which enable it to respond to our needs. These needs might be to make our homes more comfortable, by triggering functions in ... more

Evaluating nanoscale contact and adhesion using FRET microscopy
Ulrich Hirn
https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz/j.php?MTID=mdcdb6c1cabf911c39e820cae6191f94e

Several intermolecular mechanisms are responsible for adhesion: hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces and electrostatic interaction. Among these mechanisms hydrogen bonding and van der Waals attraction only work if molecular contact -- i.e. a distance between surfaces below a fe ... more

Development of e-skin sensors on PDMS nanostructured by 2PP
Shorouk Allam
https://tugraz.webex.com/tugraz/j.php?MTID=mdcdb6c1cabf911c39e820cae6191f94e

Sensors for electronic skins (e-skin) undoubtedly possess the property of being stretchable. Previously our group developed e-skin sensors for force, humidity, and temperature. Such sensors were deposited on PET which is not stretchable material. In this thesis, similar sensors w ... more
