QUANTUM TESTING AND THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF BIOINSPIRED DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
Abstract
Modern electronics, data storage and data manipulation rely on ever more sophisticated devices which are mostly based on so called quantum materials. These materials have intrinsic properties which provide unique functionalities for the development of novel, bioinspired electronics. The sizes of such devices are approaching atomic length scales at which defects, statistical variability, enhanced electromagnetic fields and radiation sensitivity, local and global heat dissipation become important, sometimes deleterious, sometimes useful. Examples of atomic level phenomena that can impact the device operation include- the effect of non-magnetic impurities in magnetic heterostructures, effects of radiation and electric fields on the metal-insulator transition in oxides, carrier generation and ion mobility in electronic devices subjected to large local electric fields, uncontrolled impurity variations resulting in a device-to-device variability and in-operando sensitivity to local fields and thermal dissipation.
