Copper electrodes with a micromesh/nanomesh structure were fabricated on a polyimide substrate using UV lithography and wet etching to produce flexible transparent conducting electrodes (TCEs). Well-defined mesh electrodes were realized through the use of high-quality Cu thin films. The films were fabricated using radio-frequency (RF) sputtering with a single-crystal Cu target--a simple but inn...

Resistive-switching devices based on Metal–Insulator–Metal (MIM) structures have shown promising memory performance characteristics while enabling higher density of integration. Usually, these MIM devices are fabricated using different processing conditions including high temperature thermal treatments that could lead to undesirable chemical reactions in the insulator material and at its interf...

Combination of electrodes, such as aluminum and iron in a single electrochemical cell provide an alternative method for removal of arsenic from water by electrocoagulation. The removal process has been studied with a wide range of arsenic concentration (1-1000 ppm) at different pH (4-10). Analysis of the electrochemically generated by-products by XRD, XPS, SEM/EDAX, FT-IR, and Mössbauer Spectro...

A sensitive and accurate method/ test to predict the lifetime of aluminum oxide used as a tunnel barrier in magnetic random access memory (MRAM) has been devised. The performance of magnetic tunnel junction is dependent upon the lifetime of aluminum oxide. Aluminum oxide has also been used in high dielectric constant gate dielectric MOS devices suitable for high speed applications. This method ...
