Particularly, the two dimensional (2D)-materials-based RRAM has attracted researchers’ attention because of its unique physical and chemical properties without the constraint of lattice matching. In this review, the switching mechanisms and modeling of RRAM devices based on the 2D materials such as hexagonal-boron nitride (h-BN) and graphene are discussed. Firstly, the monolayer and multilayer h-BN RRAMs are introduced, and their mechanisms and compact model are further described. Then, the mechanisms of graphene electrodebased RRAM (GE-RRAM) for different applications are also introduced and compared. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity, multi-physic and compact models of GE-RRAM are introduced. This review paper provides the guidance for the design and optimization of the 2D-materials-based RRAM in the next generation memories.","PeriodicalId":90705,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium : [proceedings].

Transfer functions (TF) represent the EM responses of passive microwave components versus frequency. With the assistance of TF, the nonlinearity of the model structure can be decreased. Parallel gradient-based EM optimization technique using TF in rational format and trust region algorithm is introduced first. Following that, we review the EM optimization using adjoint sensitivity-based neuro-TF surrogate, where the neuro-TF modeling method is in pole/residue format. The adjoint sensitivity-based neuro-TF surrogate technique can reach the optimal EM responses solution faster than the existing gradient-based surrogate optimization methods without sensitivity information. As a further advancement, we discuss the multifeature-assisted neuro-TF surrogate optimization technique. With the help of multiple feature parameters, the multifeatureassisted neuro-TF surrogate optimization has a better ability of avoiding local minima and can achieve the optimal EM solution faster than the surrogate optimizations without feature assistance. Three examples are used to verify the above three methods.","PeriodicalId":90705,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium : [proceedings].

Add-drop filters (ADFs) resonators using optical waveguide coupled to micro-ring resonators (MRR) are suitable for integrated optical time delays but suffer from a limited expected delay. 2-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhCs) with line defect are employed as confined optical waveguide to realize ADF resonators where longer optical delays than standard homogenous resonators are achieved by leveraging the slow-light effect. Moreover, achieving time delay up to microseconds (μs) is envisioned by cascading multiple identical ADFs based on dispersive 2-D PhC micro-resonators. The focus of this paper is to devise a hybrid modeling procedure for accurate calculations of achieved time delays in various complex structures, while a combined electromagnetic modeling and analytical calculation technique overcomes a substantial computational resources and long computation times for a brute forced full-wave design and modeling. This innovative hybrid modeling for time delay estimation of cascaded ADFs is proposed for the first time to optimize physical design within short time period. First, transfer function performance of a homogenous ADF resonator is simulated using finite-difference-timedomain (FDTD) for both the full structure and structures with bi-fold symmetry and compared against proven analytical solutions to demonstrate the accuracy of bi-fold symmetry while the computational resources are economized. The same modeling procedure is then extended to predicting performance of 2-D PhC based ADF resonator by quantifying key physical parameters of coupling factor, complex optical propagation constant, and optical transfer function for ADF resonator for the ring radius of curvature about 1.5μm with various coupling gaps between feed waveguide and resonator guide. These parameters and the effective group index calculated by OptiFDTD software are applied to the analytical expressions to estimate single 2-D PhC ADF and attain a simulated time delay of 200 ps. The estimated time delay of 70 cascaded 2-D PhC based ADF resonators with R of 100μm is estimated to be about 925 ns for the on-resonance frequency of 1534 nm.","PeriodicalId":90705,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium : [proceedings].

With radiation pattern and beam direction arrays as input, the ConvNet can make real-time and fairly accurate predictions in milliseconds with the average relative error below 0.7%. This paper shows that deep convolutional neural networks can “learn” the principle of reflectarray phase synthesis due to their inherent powerful learning capacity.

Here, we propose an all-dielectric chiral metasurface as a periodic array of centrosymmetric staggered silicon cuboid pairs to achieve strong circular dichroism in a wide band. As a demonstration, the designed chiral metasurface may strongly reflect the chosen circularly polarized light with the spin preserved in the operating wavelength range of 1.51 ∼ 1.60μm while highly transmit (with an efficiency greater than 95%) the opposite circularly polarized light with the spin flipped. Then, two application cases are given for the designed chiral metasurface. A flat chiral meta-lens is constructed to produce wideband focusing in the transmission/reflection side while the disturbing from the opposite circular polarization is well blocked by high reflection/transmission. A chiral Fabry-Perot cavity is also constructed, which has an extremely high quality factor (2.1E4). The proposed method provides an efficient way to produce strong chiroptical effects and has a promising potential for various applications such as signal processing, sensing, radiation and detection.","PeriodicalId":90705,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium : [proceedings].

Super-resolution microscopy has the disadvantages of high cost, complex optical equipment, and high experimental environment requirements. Deep-learningbased super-resolution (DLSR) has the advantages of simple operation and low cost, and has attracted much attention recently. Here we propose a novel DLSR model named Modified Hybrid Task Cascade U-Net (MHTCUN) for image super-resolution in optical microscopy using the public biological image dataset BioSR. The MHTCUN has three stages, and we introduce a novel module named Feature Refinement Module (FRM) to extract deeper features in each stage. In each FRM, a U-Net is introduced to refine the features, and the Fourier Channel Attention Block (FCAB) is introduced in the U-Net to learn the high-level representation of the high-frequency information of different feature maps. Compared with six state-of-the-art DLSR models used for single-image super-resolution (SISR), our MHTCUN achieves the highest signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of 26.87 and structural similarity (SSIM) of 0.746, demonstrating that our MHTCUN has achieved the state-of-the-art in DLSR. Compared with the DLSR model DFCAN used for image super-resolution in optical microscopy specially, MHTCUN has a significant improvement in PSNR and a slight improvement in SSIM on BioSR. Finally, we finetune the trained MHTCUN on the other biological images. MHTCUN also shows good performance on denoising, contrast enhancement, and resolution enhancement.","PeriodicalId":90705,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium : [proceedings].

To cross the barriers, a plasmonic metasurface combining both high Q-factors (highest Q > 800) and multiple resonant wavelengths is proposed by arranging step-staged pyramid units in lattice modes. Different numerical relations for nonlinear frequency conversions have been constructed because of its strong tunability. Also, characteristics of high radiation efficiency (> 50%) and large localized optical density of state (> 104) have been proved through the numerical simulation. Such tunable high-Q metasurface can be implemented to quantum nonlinear process and enable the strong light-matter interaction devices into reality.","PeriodicalId":90705,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium : [proceedings].
