New vibes in information technology: a ground-breaking platform for advanced multi-signal systems
Researchers use phonons as information carriers, together with electrons and photons, in a novel nano-electro-opto-mechanical system (NEOMS) platform, which can operate at room temperature and frequencies up to a few GHz. Based on nanocrystalline-silicon, it is fully compatible with CMOS technologies, facilitating integration with current silicon electronics. This work, recently published in ACS Photonics, has been carried out within the EU-H2020-FET Open project PHENOMEN.
