In this work the effects of uniaxial mechanical stress on a pixel readout circuit are theoretically analyzed. It is the effects of mechanical stress on the in-pixel transistors do not arise at the output, when a correlated double sampling circuit is used. However, mechanical stress effects on the photodiode will directly appear at the readout chain output. Therefore, compensation techniques are...

In this article, we demonstrate the magneto-mechanic behavior in a fluid environment of perpendicularly magnetized microdiscs with antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling. When suspended in a fluid and under the influence of a simple uniaxial applied magnetic field sequence, the microdiscs mechanically rotate to access the magnetic saturation processes that are either that of the easy axis, hard ...

To continue improvement of CMOS device performance process induced uniaxial stress is widely adopted in logic technologies starting from the 90 nm technology generation. In this work we model stress induced electron mobility enhancement in ultra thin body (UTB) MOSFETs for (001) and (110) substrate orientation using the Monte Carlo method. Uniaxial stress effects on the band structure are incor...

Orientational ordering of a homogeneous mixture of uniaxial liquid crystalline (LC) molecules and magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) is studied using the Lebwohl-Lasher lattice model. We consider cases where NPs tend to be oriented perpendicularly to LC molecules due to elastic forces. We study domain-type configurations of ensembles, which are quenched from the isotropic phase. We show that for larg...

We report preliminary in-situ time-resolved measurements of the effect of uniaxial stress on solid phase epitaxial growth in pure Si (001) for the case of stress applied parallel to the amorphous-crystal interface. The growth rate is reduced by the application of uniaxial compression, in agreement with previous results. Additionally, the velocity continues to decrease with time. This is consist...

It is shown that the signal-to-noise ratio of the magnetic moment fluctuations in the magnetic stochastic resonance of a quantum uniaxial paramagnet of arbitrary spin value S subjected to a weak probing ac field H(t) = H cos Ωt and a dc bias magnetic field H(0) displays a pronounced dependence on S. The dependence arises from the quantum dynamics of spins which differs markedly from the magneti...

We derive closed analytical formulae for the power emitted by moving charged particles in a uniaxial wire medium by means of an eigenfunction expansion. Our analytical expressions demonstrate that, in the absence of material dispersion, the stopping power of the uniaxial wire medium is proportional to the charge velocity, and that there is no velocity threshold for the Cherenkov emission. It is...

We explore the interplay between the mass anisotropy and the uniaxial pinning of tilted columnar defects (CD) in a YBa2Cu3O7 single crystal. At high temperatures T and fields H a sharp peak in the irreversible magnetization Mi at the direction of the tracks signals the presence of the CD. At low T such a peak is not observed, and the influence of the CD appears only as a perturbation to the ang...

The phase diagram of a polydisperse mixture of uniaxial rodlike and platelike hard parallelepipeds is determined for aspect ratios kappa=5 and 15. All particles have equal volume, and polydispersity is introduced in a highly symmetric way. The corresponding binary mixture is known to have a biaxial phase for kappa=15, but to be unstable against demixing into two uniaxial nematics for kappa=5. T...

Linear and nonlinear processes of transferring optical singularities from anisotropic crystals onto the wavefront of Bessel light beams (BLBs) are investigated. The generation of high-order vortices at the propagation of BLBs along the optical axes of crystals was studied. Particularly, a nonlinear frequency doubling of Bessel vortices in the conditions of new type synchronism (full conical pha...
