Insulators: Filamentary Conduction

The Resistive Switching Characteristics in ZrO2 and Its Filamentary Conduction Behavior

This study investigated the conduction properties of sputtered ZrO₂ exhibiting reversible and stable resistance change. Similar current distributions in on/off conduction and set/reset switching were observed in top electrodes with a diameter of 150, 250, and 350 µm. The size independence of current magnitude implied the presence of an uneven filamentary path over the electrode area. Increased ...

Filamentary double layers

The properties of double layers produced in current filaments have been studied. The experiments were performed in a magnetized triple plasma device in which the diameter of the central plasma column could be varied. The scaling of the double layer potential drop I’,, with the parameter jd’, where j is the current density in the double layer and d is the double layer thickness, was determined f...

Near omni-conductors and insulators: Alternant hydrocarbons in the SSP model of ballistic conduction.

Within the source-and-sink-potential model, a complete characterisation is obtained for the conduction behaviour of alternant π-conjugated hydrocarbons (conjugated hydrocarbons without odd cycles). In this model, an omni-conductor has a molecular graph that conducts at the Fermi level irrespective of the choice of connection vertices. Likewise, an omni-insulator is a molecular graph that fails ...

Synthesizing Filamentary Structured Images with GANs

This paper aims at synthesizing filamentary structured images such as retinal fundus images and neuronal images, as follows: Given a ground-truth, to generate multiple realistic looking phantoms. A ground-truth could be a binary segmentation map containing the filamentary structured morphology, while the synthesized output image is of the same size as the ground-truth and has similar visual app...
