Journal ArticleDOI
Grain size effect on the semiconductor-metal phase transition characteristics of magnetron-sputtered VO2 thin films
TL;DR: In this article, single-phase vanadium dioxide (VO2) thin films have been grown on Si3N4∕Si substrates by means of a well-controlled magnetron sputtering process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Photosusceptibility near TC for the Light-Induced Insulator-to-Metal Phase Transition in Vanadium Dioxide
David J. Hilton,Rohit P. Prasankumar,Sylvain Fourmaux,Andrea Cavalleri,D. Brassard,M. A. El Khakani,Jean-Claude Kieffer,A. J. Taylor,Richard D. Averitt +8 more
TL;DR: This work uses optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy to investigate the near-threshold behavior of the photoinduced insulator-to-metal (IM) transition in vanadium dioxide thin films, finding a reduction in the fluence required to drive the IM transition is observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration and detection of biochemical assays in digital microfluidic LOC devices
TL;DR: This review provides an in-depth look at recent developments for the coupling and integration of detection techniques with digital microfluidic platforms for bio-chemical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase diagram of the ultrafast photoinduced insulator-metal transition in vanadium dioxide
Tyler L. Cocker,Lyubov V. Titova,Sylvain Fourmaux,G. Holloway,H.-C. Bandulet,D. Brassard,Jean-Claude Kieffer,M. A. El Khakani,Frank A. Hegmann +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy to probe the ultrafast dynamics of the insulator-metal phase transition induced by femtosecond laser pulses in a nanogranular vanadium dioxide (VO${}$) film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water-oil core-shell droplets for electrowetting-based digital microfluidic devices
D. Brassard,D. Brassard,Lidija Malic,Lidija Malic,François Normandin,Maryam Tabrizian,Teodor Veres,Teodor Veres +7 more
TL;DR: This paper reports on an alternative mode of operation for EWOD-based devices in which droplets enclosed in a thin layer of oil are manipulated in air, and shows that the core-shell configuration combines several advantages of both the air and oil mediums.
