A controllable transformation from interfacial to filamentary switching mode is presented on a ZrO2/ZrO2 - x /ZrO2 tri-layer resistive memory. The two switching modes are investigated with possible switching and transformation mechanisms proposed. Resistivity modulation of the ZrO2 - x layer is proposed to be responsible for the switching in the interfacial switching mode through injecting/retr...

ZrO2 is an excellent ceramic preparation material that can maintain chemical stability in medium–strong acid and alkali environments.

The effect of bilayer thickness (L) reduction on the oxidation-induced strengthening of Zr/Nb nanoscale metallic multilayers (NMM) is investigated. Zr/Nb NMMs with L = 10 and 75 nm were annealed at 350 oC for a time ranging between 2 and 336 h and the changes in structure and deformation behaviour were studied by nano-scale mechanical testing and analytical electron microscopy. Annealing led to...

The effect of CaO on the formation of β- and γ-zirconia nanoparticles from α-zirconia was investigated and their stability evaluated via mechanical activation. α-ZrO2+8.5wt%CaO powder was milled for 2-150 hours with ball-to-powder weight ratios (BPWR) of 40:1 and 60:1. Structural evaluations were conducted using X-Ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thermal analysis wa...

In the early years of digital system design, it was sufficient to model the delay of elements, so digital simulation tools used step functions to represent signals. As switching speeds increased, it became increasingly necessary to take into account the transition time of the signal. The simplest way of modeling the transition time is to upgrade the signal model from a step to a ramp, and this ...
