A high-sensitivity 135GHz millimeter-wave imager by compact split-ring-resonator in 65-nm CMOS by Li, Nan, Yu, Hao, Yang, Chang, Shang, Yang, Li, Xiuping, Liu, Xiong

“…A high-sensitivity 135 GHz millimeter-wave imager is demonstrated in 65 nm CMOS by on-chip metamaterial resonator: a differential transmission-line (T-line) loaded with split-ring-resonator (DTL-SRR). Due to sharp stop-band introduced by the metamaterial load, high-Q oscillatory amplification can be achieved with high sensitivity when utilizing DTL-SRR as quench-controlled oscillator to provide regenerative detection. …”

Ultra-high Q even eigenmode resonance in terahertz metamaterials by Al-Naib, Ibraheem, Yang, Yuping, Dignam, Marc M., Zhang, Weili, Singh, Ranjan

“…As the resonators are rotated relative to one another, we observe the emergence and excitation of an extremely sharp even eigenmode. In uncoupled split-ring resonators, this even eigenmode is typically radiative in nature with a broad resonance linewidth and low Q-factor. …”

Dynamic response of a quantum wire structure by Yu, Yabin, Au Yeung, Tin Cheung, Shangguan, Wang Zuo

“…Our numerical calculation for internal potential and charge density shows that the induced charge density is mainly distributed in transition regions between the reservoirs and the wire, and that once any quantum channel opens, the potential drop is very sharp and occurs in the transition regions. Small Friedel oscillations in the charge density as well as charge peaks are observed. …”
