A novel nanoscale fin field effect transistor by amended channel: Investigation and fundamental physics

The present paper proposes a new Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) with an amended Channel (AC). The fin region consists of two sections; the lower part which has a rounded shape and the upper part of fin as conventional FinFETs, is cubic. The AC-FinFET devices are proven to have a lower threshold voltage roll-off, reduced DIBL, better subthreshold slope characteristics, and a better gate capacitance in comparison with the C-FinFET. Moreover, the simulation result with three-dimensional and two-carrier device simulator demonstrates an improved output characteristic of the proposed structure due to reduction of self-heating effect. Due to the rounded shape of the lower fin region and decreasing corner effects there, the heat can flow easily, and the device temperature will decrease. Also the gate control over the channel increases due to the narrow upper part of the fin. The paper, thus, attempts to show the advantages of higher performance AC-FinFET device over the conventional one, and its effect on the operation of nanoscale devices.     

Spherically symmetric inhomogeneous dust collapse in higher dimensional space-time and cosmic censorship hypothesis

We consider a collapsing spherically symmetric inhomogeneous dust cloud in higher dimensional space-time. We show that the central singularity of collapse can be a strong curvature or a weak curvature naked singularity depending on the initial density distribution.     

The effects of a trace addition of silver upon elevated temperature ageing of an Al–Zn–Mg alloy

Microalloying additions of Ag (0.1 at.%) increase the hardening response of Al–Zn–Mg alloys to elevated temperature ageing in the range 100–200°C due to the formation of a high density of very fine η′ precipitate plates. The present study employed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and three-dimension atom probe (3DAP) to study the early stages of ageing in the alloy Al–1.8Zn–3.4Mg–0.1Ag (at.%) in an attempt to identify the role of Ag in stimulating precipitation hardening. During isothermal ageing at 90°C, the hardening response is attributed to a high density of Zn–Mg–Ag rich solute clusters and GP zones. During ageing at 150°C, η′ precipitates nucleate at Zn–Mg–Ag rich solute clusters, the former growing as {111} platelets with an average composition of approximately 20 at.% Zn, 20 at.% Mg and 1.4 at.% Ag. The 3DAP data indicates that the co-segregation of Zn and Ag and subsequently Zn and Mg atoms precedes the formation of the Zn–Mg–Ag rich solute clusters. The GP zones and η′ precipitates were observed to possess a Zn:Mg ratio close to 1:1, whereas the equilibrium η precipitates possessed compositions consistent with MgZn₂. Furthermore, partitioning of Ag was observed inside all precipitate phases, viz. G.P. zones, η′ and η.     

A novel multi‐detection technique for three‐dimensional reciprocal‐space mapping in grazing‐incidence X‐ray diffraction

A new scattering technique in grazing‐incidence X‐ray diffraction geometry is described which enables three‐dimensional mapping of reciprocal space by a single rocking scan of the sample. This is achieved by using a two‐dimensional detector. The new set‐up is discussed in terms of angular resolution and dynamic range of scattered intensity. As an example the diffuse scattering from a strained multilayer of self‐assembled (In,Ga)As quantum dots grown on GaAs substrate is presented.

Z-scan measurement for the nonlinear absorption and the nonlinear refraction of poly1,4-diazophenylene-bridged-tris(8-hydroxy-quinoline) aluminum (PDPAlq3)

The nonlinear optical properties of the poly1,4-diazophenylene-bridged-tris(8-hydroxy-quinoline) aluminum (PDPAlq₃) solution were studied using single beam Z-scan technique with a continuous-wave Diode laser radiation at 657.2 nm with 10 Hz repetition rate. The results show that the solution of PDPAlq₃ exhibits large nonlinear refractive index (n₂ = −1.7642 × 10⁻¹² m²/W) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (β = 1.12 × 10⁻⁶ m/W). The negative sign of the nonlinear refractive index n₂ indicates that the material exhibits self-defocusing optical nonlinearity. The evaluation of the figure of merit (W = 1.8) shows that the solution of PDPAlq₃ is sufficient for application in all-optical switching technology. These results show that the solution of PDPAlq₃ have potential application in nonlinear optics.

Controllable growth and characterizations of hybrid spiral-like atomically thin molybdenum disulfide

Monolayer MoS₂ is an emerging two-dimensional semiconductor with wide-ranging potential applications in novel electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here, we reported controlled vapor phase growth of hybrid spiral-like MoS₂ crystals investigated by multiple means of X-Ray photoemission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, kelvin probe force microscopy, Raman and Photoluminescence techniques. Morphological characterizations reveal an intriguing hybrid spiral-like MoS₂ feature whose lower planes are AB Bernal stacking and upper structure is spiral. We ascribe the hybrid spiral-like structure to a screw dislocation drive growth mechanism owing to lower supersaturation and layer-by-layer growth mode. In addition, the electrostatic properties of MoS₂ microflakes with hybrid spiral structures are obvious inhomogeneous and dependent on morphology manifested by kelvin probe force microscopy. Our work deepens the understanding of growth mechanisms of CVD-grown MoS₂, which is also adoptable to other TMDC materials.
