Title: Electromagnetic Compatibility at nano and quantum scale
Nanoscale electronic systems exhibit behaviors fundamentally different from their microscale counterparts, driven by the quantum nature of electrical transport. As device dimensions shrink, traditional electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) principles become insufficient to predict or control interference phenomena. This seminar introduces a semi-classical modeling framework that extends classical constitutive laws to nanostructured materials, where quantum effects emerge as corrective terms influencing electromagnetic response. These modified interactions necessitate a thorough re-examination of EMC concepts, design strategies, and mitigation techniques.
Participants will explore both the opportunities and challenges inherent to nanoscale EMC. Among the key advantages are the potential for broadband impedance matching, reduced crosstalk through controlled loading, diminished sensitivity to skin-effect limitations, and improved thermal stability. At the same time, designers must contend with high propagation delays, increased losses, and new scaling laws that alter conventional design trade-offs.
The seminar is organized within the activities of the project “HERMES, Towards a terahertz short-range wireless communication system based on graphene devices,” funded by the European Commission, under the MSCA programme (2025-2029).
