A comparative study of the drain breakdown phenomena in junctionless (JL) and inversion mode (IM) pchannel MOSFETs has been investigated experimentally with different VGS, channel widths, and VSUB. In order to explain the dependence of drain breakdown voltages (BVDS) on VGS, 3-D device simulation has been also performed. When the device is turned ON, the BVDS is larger in JL than IM transistors...

We present a physically-based snow modeling approach that handles geometrically complex scenes and arbitrary amounts of accumulated snow. Scene objects are represented with a novel dual level set structure. This implicit surface representation produces smooth snow surfaces that adhere to granular stability constraints at every timestep. Realistic accumulation patterns are achieved by tracing sn...

The laser excited, jet-cooled Ã2A′′ 2 − X̃2E′′ 1 electronic spectrum of the cyclopentadienyl radical yields detailed information about the vibronic structure of both its à and X̃ states. A straight-forward assignment of the à vibronic structure is presented. The X̃ state vibronic structure reveals a comprehensive picture of the Jahn-Teller distortion of its potential energy surface. The molecular ...

Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Large spatial density fluctuations in high-energy heavy-ion collisions can come from many sources: initial transverse density fluctuations, non-central collisions, phase transitions , surface tension, and fragmentations. The common presence of some of these sources in high-energy heavy-ion collisions suggests that large scale density fluctuations ...

Motivated by the topological theory of normal surface we give in this paper a complete study of the relations between geodesic curves and normal curves embedded in a triangulated Riemannian surface. Normal surface theory is a topological piecewise linear (p` for short) counterpart of the differential geometric theory of minimal surfaces. This theory studies the ways surfaces intersect with a gi...

Glaciers are one of the terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs) as they respond very sensitively to climate change. A key driver of their response is the glacier surface mass balance that is typically derived from field measurements. It deserves to be quantified over long time scales to better understand the accumulation and ablation processes at the glacier surface and their relationshi...

The dispersion relations and polarizations for the surface waves on infinite planar samples in QHE regime are explicitly determined in the small wavevector limit in which the dielectric tensor can be considered as local. The wavelength and frequency regions of applicability of the results extends up to the infrared region for typical experimental conditions. Then, standard samples with millimet...
