Here is an awesome thesis, written by Necati Ertekin in 2008

''How E-Bombs Benefits Turkish Land Forces

E-bombs may change capabilities of the Turkish Land Forces both defensively and offensively. Any Turkish Land Forces unit equipped with an e-bomb might engage in a new way of war — with significant operational advantages over nations equipped with conventional weapons only.
Communications and command systems are key elements in C4ISR systems for land warfare as well. Such systems are one of the first targets attacked in order to limit the opponent’s operations. The Turkish Armed Forces could use e-bombs to mount an effective attack against an enemy’s C4ISR systems.

Integrating e-bombs into the existing land warfare doctrine might also increase the accuracy and volume of the Turkish Land Forces’ fire in more complex and diverse environments. As seen from the latest land warfare developments, the probability of fighting in urban areas is increasing. Because civilian involvement and collateral damage are also increasing, conventional weapons in such an environment might be hard to use. This leads to increased importance for precise and tunable weapons. Turkish Land Forces may use the proposed e-bomb, with its nonlethality feature, against a
wide range of targets. E-bomb-equipped helicopters or unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) could provide close air support for the Turkish Army. In this aspect, such platforms might target critical command, control, and communication (C3) capabilities, sensors and weapon guidance systems.
The Turkish Land Forces will remain an important component for the national strategy and when enhanced with proposed e-bombs, equipped Turkish Land Forces units would gain a decisive advantage over other nations’ armies, which do not take the importance of this future weapon into account.


How E-Bombs Benefit Turkish Naval Forces

Turkey is bordered on three sides by seas: the Black Sea, Aegean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. This makes the sea power a critical component of national security. Being equipped with proposed e-bomb could enhance the Turkish Naval Forces’ ability to execute its missions.

Some of the possible threats for today’s naval forces have been defined by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects as:

•Aircraft attack
•Ship-based or land-based helicopters
•Ship-based or land-based UAVs
•Ship-launched or submarine-launched anti-ship missiles (ASM)

•Surface ship gunfire
•Torpedoes
•Mines
(Royal Institution of Naval Architects, 2004)
The greatest threat to the Turkish Naval Forces is probably anti-ship missiles (ASMs). Even though use of e-bombs is theoretically possible, it may be more complex in practice. However, the best defense against an opponent’s missile equipped platforms is to disable the delivering platform. In this aspect, the use of e-bombs may be a good defensive measure since it can degrade the effectiveness of ASM delivering platforms such as aircraft and ship-based/land-based helicopters. In addition, the defense of a ship will be limited to several threat/missiles. That is, if the enemy attacks with more than that number at the same time, the ship will not be able to react/defense against all of them. In such a scenario, the e-bomb may provide great advantage as well, since it makes more difficult the orchestration of saturation missile attacks. In addition to these threats, the most susceptible segments of naval ships are high-technology communication, sensor, and navigation systems. The proposed e-bomb may also be a new way of fighting against these systems aboard enemy ships. In the maritime environment, e-bombs might have limitations due to the limited speed of naval ships. The employment of e-bombs on missiles seems the best solution for naval ships. This requires e-bombs loaded onboard. The
complexity of coupling and potential lethality may preclude e-bombs being a superior alternative to conventional weapons.
However, the implication of e-bombs for Turkish Naval Forces may well provide extraordinary advantages as long as their inherit limitations are well understood. A combination of both e-bombs and conventional weapons is likely the best solution for the Turkish Navy.


How E-Bombs Benefit the Turkish Air Forces

Turkish Air Forces seem to be the component of the Armed Forces on which the proposed e-bomb might have the greatest impact – in both the air-to-air battle and the air-to-ground battle. The number of missiles that an aircraft can carry limits air-to-air engagements (Thompson and Goure, 2003). Instead of having a limited payload, e-bomb-equipped Turkish fighter aircraft might be effective against numerous air targets. This is likewise a major advance in Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD) operations. In the beginning of anywar, defeating opponent’s air defense system is highly important. The anti-radiation missile is commonly used by the aircraft in such operations. Since an e-bomb has the potential to defeat multiple air defense systems, the capability gained by the e-bomb would be a major development for Turkish Air Forces.
The advantage of e-bomb gained for air-to-air battle is similar to that for Turkish Naval Forces. When there are several aircraft as a threat, the multiplier effect of the proposed e-bomb would enhance capabilities to defeat the threat. In addition, the speed and maneuver limit for the Turkish Naval Forces can be compensated for through the much greater speed of Turkish Air Force assets. This makes different e-bomb employment methods such as bomb, glide bomb, etc., useful for Turkish Air Forces aircrafts. As mentioned before, e-bombs are not yet mature, but they offer increasing capabilities for all levels of war. The country that can explore the benefits of such weapons and make investments in research can reap important advantages against military rivals. Therefore, it is time to seriously consider committing more effort to research and development of the e-bomb.''

Virkator Development Project (VIRGEP)

With the development of technology in recent years, many modern country armies are heavily equipped with electronic circuits and equipment, especially in vital systems such as air defense and military communications. High-power directed electromagnetic energy smashing of systems such as electronic communications and data processing is possible. In this case, the availability of such technology is of great importance in terms of gaining effective strength and strategic superiority over a fully electronically modernized army in possible combat situations. From this point of view, the development of new technologies has become mandatory for the development of systems that can have this effect, both in terms of Defense and attack. In this context, the VIRGEP project creates the basic components of directed energy systems;
* Impact decoiler interface,
* Vircator high power microwave generator,
* High power microwave antenna, R & D activities are carried out for its structures. Computer simulations and analyses are carried out with three-dimensional modeling by making detailed designs in the laboratory environment, even though it forms a whole. In addition, activities are carried out in the development and production of laboratory prototypes.

Directed Energy Weapons: High Power Microwaves​

Directed energy weapons (DEWs) are defined as electromagnetic systems capable of converting chemical or electrical energy to radiated energy and focusing it on a target, resulting in physical damage that degrades, neutralizes, defeats, or destroys an adversarial capability. Navy DEWs include systems that use High Energy Lasers (HEL) that emit photons, and High Power Microwaves (HPM) that release radiofrequency waves. The U.S. Navy uses DEWs for power projection and integrated defense missions. The ability to focus the radiated energy reliably and repeatedly at range, with precision and controllable effects, while producing measured physical damage, is the measure of DEW system effectiveness. Conversely, capabilities to increase the resilience or survivability of platforms or Sailors from DEW threats are part of the Counter Directed Energy Weapons (CDEW) program.

The Office of Naval Research has three weapons-oriented research concentration areas: High Power Microwaves (HPM); Ultra-Short Pulse Laser (USPL) and Atmospheric Characterization; and Counter-Directed Energy Weapons and High Energy Lasers (CDEW & HEL).

Research Concentration Area: High Power Microwaves (HPM)​

HPM weapons create beams of electromagnetic energy over a broad spectrum of radio and microwave frequencies (in narrow and wide-band), causing a range of temporary or permanent effects on electronics within targeted systems.

Directed energy HPM provides the U.S. Navy many benefits including speed of light attack, deep magazines drawing only from electrical power, broad beams for wide area coverage, low collateral damage, scaled effects based on waveform parameters and determination of intent by non-lethal means as an intermediate force capability.

Focus areas cover HPM sub-systems that optimize power and/or energy density at the electronic target for a variety of platform sizes and capabilities while minimizing size, weight, power and cost. Examples of related areas for S&T investment and research include supporting technologies such as power electronics, pulsed power drivers, power modulators, as well as frequency agile RF sources and antennas.

Additional research focus areas include research into electronic system coupling, interaction and effects with the first goal of enabling development of predictive effects tools for current systems. A second goal of this work includes an exploration of in band and out of band coupling and interaction mechanisms. This exploration will exploit developing advances in frequency and bandwidth agility both to identify new potential weapon system possibilities as well as to achieve significant improvements in size, weight, power, and cost in new variants of existing systems.

Research Challenges and Opportunities​

• RF coupling and modeling tools to capture complex EM wave interactions with electronics and associated enclosures, RF component disruption, along with novel techniques for experimental validation. Prediction of effects on electronics with improved techniques for HPM lethality testing and analysis. Analysis of HPM coupling mechanisms, electronic device interaction physics and component level effects validated through experiment. Development of tools and techniques for more efficient identification and utilization of novel RF waveforms.
• Pulsed power/power electronics; including high energy density capacitors, power conditioning, high voltage switches, dielectric insulators, 3D printed/novel materials and power modulator pulse forming networks that enable higher duty cycle operation
• Solid state and vacuum electronic-based HPM sources that provide frequency and waveform parameter tunability and are reconfigurable to adapt to changing requirements; computer codes for modelling HPM physics to enable the next generation of devices
• Wide bandwidth high power amplifiers that provide the ability of very rapid waveform adjustment
• High power, low profile or conformal antenna designs and capable radome materials, novel array concepts, high power beam steering techniques and distributed beam forming approaches
• Novel HPM sensors, instrumentation and algorithms are of interest for measurement of waveforms and diagnosing system performance as well as applied to electronic battle damage indication (eBDI)

6 nm ?

I have first learned about FET and MOSFET because they were being used in motor drives of brushless direct current electric motors to sequentially power the poles of the motor. But they were large transistors. This one being 6nm means it can possibly be made into microchips, I guess. Can anyone interpret this please?

The 6 nm refers to something which is called critical dimension in an design, it typically corresponds to the physical gate width. In layman's term, you could consider the gate to be the light switch in your home, the smaller the switch then the faster you can turn it on and off. A smaller switch also reduce the power consumption.

The current top of the line CPUs like AMD Ryzen use 5-7nm gates, Intel has about 10-12nm gates. So, if you could produce billions of transistor on a chip then you could potentially integrate the MOSFET into a CPU. However, it is not as easy as it sounds since you need something which is called complementary MOSFET (i.e. CMOS) devices to be able to integrate them into a functioning CPU otherwise the power consumption of billions of transistors would just melt the device. I don't know if you can even produce CMOS with the mentioned material.

However, the paper by U.A. Akkus et.al., is a simulation paper of a new potential semiconductor material. The paper does NOT describe a real device in any form or shape. The studied device does not even remotely look like how a real transistor looks like. Again, in layman's terms, they simulated the most basic transistor which is a straight metallic wires (Ti2CF2) with a switch (Ti2CO2). This means that you can put in any value for your design into the computer to see what might theoretically come out. The paper is simply an exercise in "what-if" theories, it doe not even try to compare with real values of any produced device.

It is also highly unlikely that you could produce a 6nm transistor with the material mentioned within the next 2-5 decades as it is extremely extremely expensive and complex to produce that kind of technology. Even Intel have problems below 10nm in a material which is well known, namely silicon.

 

[kimov]

So what is it like, a burst of signal or a continuous one, you seem to be in the know.

EMP stands for Electro Magnetic Pulse. In military applications, it is typically a very short duration (a few ns) pulses of microwave radiation. There are two reasons why pulses are used.

1. The reason why pulses are used is that you can concentrate the energy into very high levels up to several hundreds of MW. This kind of power is out of the question for continuous operation in the field.
They obtain the high power by charging capacitors at low power (a few kW) over long time and then they discharge the capacitors within a few nanoseconds into inductors+antennas. This can be viewed to be similar to a magnifying glass concentrating the light from the sun into a single spot. Similarly, capacitors are concentrating the electrical energy into a short time. For example, if they want a 10ns short 100MW pulse then they could charge the capacitors with 10kW for 0.1ms (10ns*100MW/10kW) from a battery pack and then discharge the capacitors 10000 times per seconds.

2. The other reason why pulse is used is that they want to create a electrical field gradient such that there can be high current flows within the circuit. A constant and contentious electrical potential can not create a electrical field gradient, hence no current. This is similar to why birds can sit on very high power lines (>100kV) without dying while you cant even hold 230V when you have contact with the ground. The pulse/gradient is simply a must.

However, EMP is not really a very big problem for 2 reasons;
1. the range is limited to a few hundred meters unless we are talking about EMP from nuclear explosions. The reason for the short range is that the radiation energy decreases with inverse square law, i.e. if you increase distance by 2x then the energy density is decreased by 4x. This becomes a problem very fast.

2. It is very easy to protect against EMP, you simply shield the electronics with metal to create a Faraday's cage and radiation absorbing material. If you want to go fancy then you can use something called Silicon On Isolator (SOI) for really radiation hardened electronics. These are typically used for space application due to the cosmic radiation. SOI is probably used for advanced military equipment since 20 years.


Finally, the use of EMP weapons on ships and bases is to protect against cheap civilian drones at close range when you do not want to use guns (CIWS) for obvious reasons. The EMP could also disrupt the radio communication for the drone even if it does not destroy the electronics.

Very similar to photographic camera speed-lights and pulse laser beams then, which both run on capacitor banks.
