The rise of two-dimensional (2D) materials research took place following the isolation graphene in 2004. These new 2D include transition metal dichalcogenides, mono-elemental sheets, and several carbide- nitride-based materials. number publications related to these emerging has been drastically increasing over last five years. Thus, through this comprehensive review, we aim discuss most recent groundbreaking discoveries as well opportunities remaining challenges. This review starts out by...
We report on a GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor high-electron-mobility-transistor (MOS-HEMT) using atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) Al2O3 as the gate dielectric. Compared to conventional (HEMT) of similar design, MOS-HEMT exhibits several orders magnitude lower leakage and times higher breakdown voltage channel current. This implies that ALD Al2O3∕AlGaN interface is high quality Al2O3∕AlGaN∕GaN potential for high-power rf applications. In addition, high-quality dielectric allows effective...
Magnetotransport of two-dimensional electrons and holes was studied in magnetic fields up to 300 kG temperatures down 0.5 K. In addition previously reported structures at Landau-level filling factors $\ensuremath{\nu}=\frac{1}{3} \mathrm{and} \frac{2}{3}$, new were resolved $\ensuremath{\nu}=\frac{4}{3}, \frac{5}{3}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{3}{5}, \frac{4}{5}, \frac{2}{7}$. The results suggest that fractional quantization the Hall effect exists multiple series, each based on inverse an odd integer.

Abstract Gallium nitride high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN HEMTs) are at a point of rapid growth in defense (radar, SATCOM) and commercial (5G beyond) industries. This also comes which the standard GaN heterostructures remain unoptimized for maximum performance. For this reason, we propose shift to aluminum (AlN) platform. AlN allows smarter, highly-scaled heterostructure design that will improve output power thermal management III-nitride amplifiers. Beyond improvements over incumbent...

It is well known that recombination lifetimes are significantly degraded in oxygen-precipitated silicon. The possible sources for lifetime degradation expected to be oxygen precipitates (OP’s), dislocation loops, stacking faults, and point defects associated with self-interstitials generated during the precipitation process. From results of an extensive experimental study using IR absorption, TEM, DLTS, SPV (surface photovoltage), we have found OP’s mainly responsible observed at takes place...

To resolve the dilemma of cell clogging or solution parasitics encountered by Coulter counters and to evolve a general-purpose electrical detection technique, we used broadband microwave measurements overcome electrode polarization, ac dielectrophoresis precisely place cells between narrowly spaced electrodes, relatively wide microfluidic channels prevent clogging. This unique combination approaches resulted in reproducible sensing single Jurkat HEK cells, both live dead, different cultures at times.

The vertebral column or spine assembles around the notochord rod which contains a core made of large vacuolated cells. Each cell possesses single fluid-filled vacuole, and loss fragmentation these vacuoles in zebrafish leads to kinking. Here, we identified mutation kinase gene dstyk that causes severe congenital scoliosis-like phenotype zebrafish. Live imaging revealed Dstyk regulates fusion membranes with vacuole. We find localized disruption malformation curving axis at those sites....

An analysis of the measurement grain-boundary diffusion at low temperatures by surface-accumulation mehod was carried out. In this method atoms are allowed to diffuse along grain boundaries from a source free surface where they spread out, accumulate, and measured. The is out so that only boundary ’’short-circuit paths’’ active, lattice frozen This generally more sensitive than depth profiling for measuring temperatures.
