Introduction: Negative resistance elements are important components in oscillator circuits and form the basis of many other nonlinear circuits. Resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs) have attracted much attention due to their wide-bandwidth negative differential resistance (NDR), up to hundreds of GHz [1]. Because RTDs can be easily integrated in electronic and optoelectronic circuits, the applicati...

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS In 2008, the Australian government introduced an 'alcopops tax' on spirit-based ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages to reduce alcohol consumption and particularly binge drinking by young people. DESIGN AND METHODS Data regarding sales of alcoholic beverages in Australia from 2004 to 2009 were used to examine the possible effects of the alcopops tax. In addition, population da...

Resonant tunneling diode (RTD) is an electronic device embodying a unique quantum-interference phenomenon: negative differential resistance (NDR). Compared to other negative resistance devices such as (Esaki) tunnel and transferred-electron devices, RTDs operate much faster and at higher temperatures. III-nitride materials, composed of AlGaInN alloys, have wide bandgap, high carrier mobility an...

In this paper, the authors present and discuss a model for Cu-Se nano resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) fabricated by negative template assisted electrodeposition technique and formulate the mathematical equations for it. The model successfully explains the experimental findings.

Many successful model checking methods have been applied to hardware design in real-time applications. In this paper, we apply Parametric Timed Automata (PTA) to model the delays of asynchronous circuits. The PTAs modelling the delays of asynchronous circuits fall into the so-called lower bound and upper bound automata (L/U automata) which are subclasses of general PTAs with a decidable reachab...

The dependence of interface roughness of pseudomorphic AlAs/In0.53Ga0.47As/InAs resonant tunneling diodes [RTDs] grown by molecular beam epitaxy on interruption time was studied by current-voltage [I-V] characteristics, photoluminescence [PL] spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy [TEM]. We have observed that a splitting in the quantum-well PL due to island formation in the quantum ...

Several research groups have been actively pursuing antimonide-based electronic devices in recent years. The advantage of narrowbandgap Sb-based devices over conventional GaAsor InP-based devices is the attainment of high-frequency operation with much lower power consumption. This paper will review the progress on three antimonide-based electronic devices: high electron mobility transistors (HE...

A programmable direct current (DC) power supply with Real-time Digital Simulator (RTDS)-based photovoltaic (PV) Power Hardware-In-the-Loop (PHIL) simulators has been used to improve the control algorithm and reliability of a PV inverter. This paper proposes a supervisory control algorithm for a PV PHIL simulator with a non-RTDS device that is an alternative solution to a high-cost PHIL simulato...

Differences in gene sequences, many of which are single nucleotide polymorphisms, underlie some of the most important traits in plants. With humanity facing significant challenges to increase global agricultural productivity, there is an urgent need to accelerate the development of these traits in plants. oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis (ODM), one of the many tools of Cibus' Rapid Trait De...
