研究目的
Investigating the integration of a molecular-based material presenting a Spin Crossover (SCO) effect in the silicon platform for enabling optical bistability.
研究成果
Optical bistability thermally triggered and a non-volatile switching performance at room temperature has been demonstrated by integrating a molecular-based material in a silicon photonic device. The SCO effect could offer a new approach for enabling optical bistability and non-volatile performance in silicon devices.
研究不足
Most of the SCO-based devices confront fatigue issues associated with their poor stability. The protection of the NPs with organic and inorganic compounds have been proposed to overcome this limitation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
An asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structure on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) was utilized as a testing device to characterize the optical response of the SCO/SiO2 NPs integrated on silicon.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Core-shell SCO NPs based on the 1D coordination polymer [Fe(Htrz)
3:9(trz)(NH2trz)1](BF4)@SiO2 of 60 nm ca. were investigated. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A tuneable continuous-wave (CW) laser in the telecom C-band, manual polarization controller, TE-like grating couplers, high-sensitivity photodiode, Peltier and a TEC controller.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Optical measurements were carried out with temperature variations lower to
5:1 oC after several minutes of thermal stabilization and with a wavelength step of 01 nm. Data Analysis Methods:
The resonance wavelengths were depicted as a function of the temperature to analyze the influence of the SCO/SiO2 NPs.
