Nonvolatile bipolar resistance switching effects in multiferroic BiFeO3 thin films on LaNiO3-electrodized Si substrates

We report on reversible bipolar resistance switching effects in multiferroic BiFeO₃ thin films without electroforming. The BiFeO₃ thin films with (110) preferential orientation were prepared on LaNiO₃-electrodized Si substrates with a Pt/BiFeO₃/LaNiO₃ device configuration. The resistance ratio of high resistance state (HRS) to low resistance state (LRS) of the devices was as high as three orders of magnitude. The dominant conduction mechanisms of LRS and HRS were dominated by ohmic behavior and trap-controlled space charge limited current, respectively. The resistance switching mechanism of the devices was discussed using a modified Schottky-like barrier model taking into account the movement of oxygen vacancies.     

Spatio-temporal expression of a novel neuron-derived neurotrophic factor (NDNF) in mouse brains during development

Background  

Neuron-derived neurotrophic factor (NDNF) is evolutionarily well conserved, being present in invertebrate animals such as the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans, as well as in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Multiple cysteines are conserved between species and secondary structure prediction shows that NDNF is mainly composed of beta-strands. In this study, we aimed to investigate the function of NDNF.     

Directional terahertz radiation through groove-assisted hole array

The authors theoretically demonstrate the terahertz beam shaping with metallic subwavelength holes array surrounded by concentric periodic grooves. High transmission and directional radiation can be obtained simultaneously for the resonant excitation of the surface wave in the combined structure. Finite-difference time-domain simulation results shows that the transmission mainly depends on the lattice constant of hole array and the features of incident surface around it, while the far-field angle distribution is dominated by the details of the output surface. This compact beam shaping structure is hoped to serve as a basic device for future terahertz systems.

高增益双层组合GaAs光电导开关设计与实验研究

设计制备了一种由双层半绝缘GaAs:EL2晶体组成的新型超快光电导功率开关.由于触发状态下双层GaAs晶体之间满足动态分压关系,使该开关在强电场偏置下触发时,双层GaAs晶体既能先后发生高增益过程,又能相互抑制对方进入锁定状态,开关输出为近似方波的双峰脉冲.因此,这种开关的工作方式既具有非线性模式特有的所需触发光能小、上升速度快等优点,又具有线性模式特有的重复工作频率高、使用寿命长等优点.偏压6500V时用脉宽8ns、能量3mJ的1064nm激光触发,输出电脉冲的上升沿为13.2ns,下降沿为54.6ns 关键词： 光电半导体开关 高增益 锁定效应     

Structural transformation of Ge dimers on Ge（001） surfaces induced by bias voltage

Scanning tunnelling microscopy is utilized to investigate the local bias voltage tunnelling dependent transformation between （2×1） and c（4×2） structures on Ge（001） surfaces, which is reversibly observed at room temperature and a critical bias voltage of -0.80 V. Similar transformation is also found on an epitaxial Ce islands but at a slightly different critical bias voltage of -1.00V. It is found that the interaction between the topmost atoms on the STM tip and the atoms of the dimers, and the pinning effect induced by Sb atoms, the nacancies or the epitaxial clusters, can drive the structural transformation at the critical bias voltage.

Optical oxygen sensing materials based on a novel dirhenium(I) complex assembled in mesoporous silica

A new dirhenium(I) complex fac-[{Re(CO)₃(4,7-dinonadecyl-1,10-phenanthro -line)}₂ (4,4′-bipyridyl)] (trifluoromethanesulfonate)₂ (denoted as D-Re(I) ) is assembled in MCM-41 and SBA-15 type mesoporous silica support. The emission peaks of D-Re(I) in D-Re(I)/MCM-41 and D-Re(I)/SBA-15 are observed at 522 and 517 nm, respectively. Their long excited lifetimes, which are of the order of microseconds, indicate the presence of phosphorescence emission arising from the metal to ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) transition. The luminescence intensities of D-Re(I)/MCM-41 and D-Re(I)/SBA-15 decrease remarkably with increase in the oxygen concentration, meaning that they can be used as optical oxygen sensing materials based on luminescence quenching. The ratios I₀/I₁₀₀ of D-Re(I)/MCM-41 and D-Re(I)/SBA-15 are estimated to be 5.6 and 20.1, respectively. The obtained Stern-Volmer oxygen quenching plots of the mesoporous sensing materials could be fitted well to the two-site Demas model and Lehrer model.
