Ferroelectric nanomesa formation from polymer Langmuir-Blodgett films

Start the Presses

A simple nanoimprinting method creates arrays of ferroelectric polymer structures suitable for low-cost, non-volatile memories. With the development of nanoimprinted high-quality ferroelectric nanomesa arrays, it seems that we now have all the necessary ingredients to print inexpensive, disposable organic memory chips. Figure 1. The nanoimprinting method and the two ways it can be used in non-v...

Influence of the substrate surface on the self-assembly of ferroelectric PbTiO3 nanostructures obtained by microemulsion assisted Chemical Solution Deposition

The achievement of long range periodicity of ferroelectric nanostructures on substrates remains as a challenge in the processing of devices by the relatively inexpensive selfassembly methods. To this aim, here we make the proposal of processing strategies involving commercial single-crystal SrTiO3(100) substrate surface treatment. The topography, global ordering and crystal symmetry of the surf...

Sequencing Mixed Model Assembly Line Problem to Minimize Line Stoppages Cost by a Modified Simulated Annealing Algorithm Based on Cloud Theory

This research presents a new application of the cloud theory-based simulated annealing algorithm to solve mixed model assembly line sequencing problems where line stoppage cost is expected to be optimized. This objective is highly significant in mixed model assembly line sequencing problems based on just-in-time production system. Moreover, this type of problem is NP-hard and solving this probl...

Simultaneous Multi-Skilled Worker Assignment and Mixed-Model Two-Sided Assembly Line Balancing

This paper addresses a multi-objective mathematical model for the mixed-model two-sided assembly line balancing and worker assignment with different skills. In this problem, the operation time of each task is dependent on the skill of the worker. The following objective functions are considered in the mathematical model: (1) minimizing the number of mated-stations (2), minimizing the number of ...
