Spin Polarized Transport in Monolayer WSe2 Quantum Structures Abstract: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), a semiconducting member of the two-dimensional material family, have been suggested to be promising candidates for various quantum applications. However, challenges associated with the quality of electrical contacts in TMDs have hampered the progress of transport studies, especially at low temperature and in the low carrier density regime. In this talk, a device structure is presented which allows us to obtain low resistance ohmic contacts to monolayer TMDs while still accessing the low carrier density regime in transport experiments. The low-temperature magneto-transport measurements resulting from this fabricated device is presented and the unexpected spin polarized states are discussed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transport polarisé de spin dans les structures quantiques monocouches WSe2 Résumé : Il a été suggéré que les dichalcogénures de métaux de transition (TMD) monocouches, un membre semi-conducteur de la famille des matériaux bidimensionnels, seraient des candidats prometteurs pour diverses applications quantiques. Cependant, les défis associés à la qualité des contacts électriques dans les TMD ont entravé la progression des études de transport, en particulier à basse température et dans le régime de faible densité de porteurs. Dans cet exposé, une structure de dispositif est présentée qui nous permet d'obtenir des contacts ohmiques à faible résistance avec des TMD monocouches tout en accédant au régime de faible densité de porteurs dans les expériences de transport. Les mesures de magnéto-transport à basse température résultant de ce dispositif fabriqué sont présentées et les états polarisés en spin inattendus sont discutés.

We describe the opportunities, and the research challenges, presented in the development of 100-300GHz wireless communications and imaging systems. In such links, short wavelengths permit massive spatial multiplexing both for network nodes and point-point links, permitting aggregate transmission capacities approaching 1Tb/s. 100-300GHz radar imaging systems can provide thousands of image pixels and sub-degree angular resolution from small apertures, supporting foul-weather driving and aviation. Challenges include the mm-wave IC designs, the physical design of the front-end modules, the complexity of the back-end digital beamformer required for spatial multiplexing, and, for imaging, the development of system architectures requiring far fewer RF channels than the number of image pixels. We will describe transistor development, IC design, and system design, and describe our efforts to develop 140GHz massive MIMO wireless hubs, and 210GHz and 280GHz MIMO backhaul links.

6G wireless systems are expected to offer ubiquitous connectivity in presently under-served areas, potentially provided by satellite- and space-based internet-of-things applications. In the search for enabling technologies to achieve these expectations, molecular communication is an important alternative to conventional electromagnetic-based wireless communication. In this talk, we give a brief introduction to molecular communication, and discuss how it may be used to communicate in "wave-denied" environments, where connectivity is desired, but wireless cannot be used. We also show that molecular communication can achieve surprisingly high information rates, theoretically unlimited and practically in the gigabit-per-second range, making it a compelling technology for 6G. We finish with a discussion of the current state of the field and propose some experimental next steps.
