The influence of thermally assisted tunneling on the performance of charge trapping memory

We evaluate the influence of the thermally assisted tunneling (TAT) mechanism on charge trapping memory (CTM) cell performance by numerical simulation, and comprehensively analyse the effects of the temperature, trap depth, distribution of trapped charge, gate voltage and parameters of TAT on erasing/programming speed and retention performance. TAT is an indispensable mechanism in CTM that can increase the detrapping probability of trapped charge. Our results reveal that the TAT effect causes the sensitivity of cell performance to temperature and it could affect the operational speed, especially for the erasing operation. The results show that the retention performance degrades compared with when the TAT mechanism is ignored.     

Scaling properties of phase-change line memory

Phase-change line memory cells with different line widths are fabricated using focused-ion-beam deposited C-Pt as a hard mask. The electrical performance of these memory devices was characterized. The current-voltage (I-V ) and resistance-voltage (R-V ) characteristics demonstrate that the power consumption decreases with the width of the phase-change line. A three-dimensional simulation is carried out to further study the scaling properties of the phase-change line memory. The results show that the resistive amorphous (RESET) power consumption is proportional to the cross-sectional area of the phase-change line, but increases as the line length decreases.

Geometric phases in qubit-oscillator system beyond conventional rotating-wave approximation

In this work we investigated the geometric phases of a qubit-oscillator system beyond the conventional rotating- wave approximation. We find that in the limiting of weak coupling the results coincide with that obtained under rotating-wave approximation while there exists an increasing difference with the increase of coupling constant. It was shown that the geometric phase is symmetric with respect to the sign of the detuning of the quantized field from the one-photon resonance under the conventional rotating-wave approximation while a red-blue detuning asymmetry occurs beyond the conventional rotating-wave approximation.     

Effect of Cu doping on the magnetic and electrical properties of n=2 Ruddlesden-Popper manganates

A series of polycrystalline Cu-doped n=2 Ruddlesden-Popper manganates La1.2Sr1.8CuzMn（2-x）O7 （x=0, 0.04, 0.13） were synthesized by the solid state reaction method. The effect of Cu doping on the magnetic and transport properties has been studied. It is found that Cu substitution for Mn greatly affects the magnetic and electrical properties of the parent phase La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7. With the increase of Cu content, the system undergoes a transition from longrange ferromagnetic order to the spin glass state and further to an antiferromagnetic order. A little of Cu dopant can lead to the samples showing semiconductor or insulator behaviour in the whole observed temperature range while the parent phase has a metal-insulator transition. These samples show colossal magnetoresistance at low temperatures and the value of it decreases with increasing Cu content.

Three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation of bulk fin field effect transistor

In this paper,we investigate the performance of the bulk fin field effect transistor(FinFET) through a threedimensional(3D) full band Monte Carlo simulator with quantum correction.Several scattering mechanisms,such as the acoustic and optical phonon scattering,the ionized impurity scattering,the impact ionization scattering and the surface roughness scattering are considered in our simulator.The effects of the substrate bias and the surface roughness scattering near the Si/SiO2 interface on the performance of bulk FinFET are mainly discussed in our work.Our results show that the on-current of bulk FinFET is sensitive to the surface roughness and that we can reduce the substrate leakage current by modulating the substrate bias voltage.     

Monte Carlo simulation of spin-wave excitation for the magnetic films with structure and interaction fluctuations

Monte Carlo simulation studies are performed to examine influence of structure and interaction fluctuations on magnetic properties of a ferromagnetic system modelled with a Heisenberg Hamiltonian. It is found that the spontaneous magnetization at low temperature for the multilayered films decreases with temperature in a Bloch law of spin-wave excitations. Both Bloch coefficient B and exponent b vary evidently because of a strong surface and size effect in the finite magnetic films with free boundaries. For the disordered bulk FCC magnet with periodic boundary, the Bloch T^3/2 law is followed at low temperature and B is greatly influenced by the structure and interaction fluctuations. At the same time, Bloch coefficient B of the amorphous magnet with the coordination and interaction fluctuations has been derived. The simulated results are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions of spin-wave excitation, and explain the experimental facts well.     

Raman and IR spectroscopy study of corrosion products on the surface of the hot‐dip galvanized steel with alkaline mud adhesion

The corrosion products formed on hot‐dip galvanized steel sheets for the automobile application with adhesion of alkaline mud containing different Cl⁻ ion contents are investigated by means of Raman and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Results show that the Cl⁻ ion content in alkaline mud has great influence on the corrosion behavior of the galvanized steel. The Cl⁻ ions are responsible for the formation of the Zn₅Cl₂(OH)₈· H₂O layer on the surface of the steel at the early stage of corrosion. The rest of the Cl⁻ ions then penetrate and interrupt corrosion product layer resulting in pitting corrosion. Subsequently, the red corrosion product of α‐FeOOH (shaped as needle‐like structure) is formed, which then transforms into black rust of Fe₃O₄ (having a shape of slim needle). It is interesting to find out that pitting depth is inversely proportional to the Cl⁻ ion content. However, corrosion rate decreases with the increase of the Cl⁻ ions in mud.
