DOI: 10.1002/admt.201700284 system.[11] Researchers have developed highly stretchable strain sensors made of compliant elastomers and various conductive materials, such as silver nanowire,[12] carbon nanotube (CNT),[13–18] carbon grease,[19] graphene,[20] graphite,[21] laser-carbonized polyimide,[22] conductive acrylic elastomer,[10] liquid metal,[23,24] ionic liquid,[25–27] and conductive fabr...

Resistive Switching In article number 2101905, Hyung Koun Cho and co-workers solve the trade-off issue between photo-charge transport stability originating from use of insulating protection layers. The electrochemical forming process suggested for TiO2 layer on photocathodes draws inspiration typical resistive switching behaviors in resistive-type memory with metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structu...

The genesis of gallop sounds was investigated in 12 patients by simultaneous measurement of external apexcardiographic (ACG) and left ventricular (LV) pressure, dP/dt, and sound using infinite time constant piezo-resistive pressure transducers with identical sensitivity and frequency responses. Absolute intensity of internal and external sound was quantified. The external transducer was applied...

A nickel alloy with high chrome and molybdenum content was found to form a highly resistive and passive oxide layer. The donor density and mobility of ions in the oxide layer has been determined as a function of the electrical potential when alkaline water layers are on the alloy surface in order to account for the relative inertness of the nickel alloy in corrosive environments.

A low-cost, manufacturable defect gettering and passivation treatment, involving simultaneous anneal of a PECVD SiNx film and a screen-printed Al layer, is found to improve the lifetime in Si ribbon materials from 1-10 μs to over 20 μs. Our results indicate that the optimum anneal temperature for SiNx-induced hydrogenation is 700°C for EFG and increases to 825°C when Al is present on the back o...

The current trend of online business enables better and faster service for users and makes it more profitable for merchants. On the other side, the Internet has become the most popular platform for fraudsters to commit online fraud with ease. Several solutions have been proposed in the literature to overcome these online frauds. But, complete and efficient way out from this problem is still in ...

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of tin oxide (SnOx) films was achieved using a newly synthesized tin precursor and hydrogen peroxide. We obtained highly pure, conductive SnOx films at temperatures as low as 50 C, which was possible because of high chemical reactivity between the new Sn precursor and hydrogen peroxide. The growth per cycle is around 0.18 nm/cycle in the ALDwindow up to 150 C, and ...

We have investigated the role of the electroforming process in the establishment of resistive switching behaviour for Pt/Ti/Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3/SrRuO3 layered heterostructures (Pt/Ti/PCMO/SRO) acting as non-volatile Resistance Random Access Memories (RRAMs). Electron spectroscopy measurements demonstrate that the higher resistance state resulting from electroforming of as-prepared devices is strictl...
