The ultra thin body (UTB) SOI architecture offers a promising option to extend MOSFET scaling. However, intrinsic parameter fluctuations still remain one of the major challenges for the ultimate scaling and integration of UTB-SOI MOSFETs. In this paper, using 3D statistical numerical simulations, we investigate the impact of random discrete dopants, body thickness variations and line edge rough...

The Kibble–Zurek scaling describes the driven critical dynamics starting with an equilibrium state far away from the critical point. Recently, it has been shown that scaling behaviors also exist when the fluctuation term changes starting near the critical point. In this case, the relevant initial conditions should be included in the scaling theory as additional scaling variables. Here, we study...

Fractal scaling relations are found in repeated measurements of voluntary human behavior (e.g., time estimation, visual search, word naming). These fractal scaling relations suggest that the variation in the observed behavior is scale-free with small-scale and large-scale variations sharing the same structure. Researchers have proposed a conceptual control parameter that may account for reliabl...

The large deviation function obtained recently by Derrida and Lebowitz [Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 209 (1998)] for the totally asymmetric exclusion process is generalized to the partially asymmetric case in the scaling limit. The asymmetry parameter rescales the scaling variable in a simple way. The finite-size corrections to the universal scaling function and the universal cumulant ratio are also ob...

The critical properties of short-range Ising spin-glass models, defined on a diamond hierarchical lattice of graph fractal dimension df = 2.58, 3, and 4, and scaling factor 2 are studied via a method based on the Migdal-Kadanoff renormalization-group scheme. The order parameter critical exponent β is directly estimated from the data of the local Edwards-Anderson (EA) order parameter, obtained t...

The immense demand for communication systems worldwide has created an enormous market for semiconductors devices (SiGe HBTs) in variegated applications. Nowadays SiGe HBTs are surpassing even the fastest III-V production devices in the GHz speed orbit. Scaling has been the prime source of supremacy behind the successful technology innovations. The design and optimization of un-scaled and scaled...

The Anderson model for independent electrons in a disordered potential is transformed analytically and exactly to a basis of random extended states leading to a variant of augmented space. In addition to the widely accepted phase diagrams in all physical dimensions, a plethora of additional, weaker Anderson transitions are found, characterized by the long-distance behavior of states. Critical d...

The Neighborhood Algorithm (NA) is a popular direct search inversion technique. For dispersion curve inversion, physical conditions between parameters Vs and Vp (linked by Poisson’s ratio) may limit the parameter space with complex boundaries. Other conditions may come from prior information about the geological structure. Irregular limits are not natively handled by classical search algorithms...

We numerically calculate the conductivity sigma of an undoped graphene sheet (size L) in the limit of a vanishingly small lattice constant. We demonstrate one-parameter scaling for random impurity scattering and determine the scaling function beta(sigma)=dlnsigma/dlnL. Contrary to a recent prediction, the scaling flow has no fixed point (beta>0) for conductivities up to and beyond the symplecti...

Previous work in real and virtual settings have shown that the way in which we interact with objects critically influences their perceptual representation. This paper provides new, quantitative evidence that the exploratory procedure used in haptic interaction with a set of objects changes the way they are represented in the brain. Subjects rated similarity on a set of nine novel, 3D objects af...
