A composite perpendicular recording media consisting of magnetically hard and soft regions within each grain is proposed. Application applied field initially causes the magnetization region to rotate and, thus, change angle effective region. This important in enabled by an exchange layer that moderates interaction between two regions. Energy arguments show resulting performance (as measured ratio energy barrier switching field) similar previously proposed tilted media, while avoiding some...
Exchange coupled composite (ECC) media has been shown to possess several major advantages relative conventional perpendicular media, including a reduction in the switching field of approximately factor two for same thermal stability and greater insensitivity easy axis distribution. In this paper, full magnetostatic interactions are included: allows comparison between behavior multigrain thin films that isolated grains as presented earlier. Significant results include hysteresis loops under...
Magnetic–plasmonic core–shell nanomaterials offer a wide range of applications across science, engineering, and biomedical disciplines.

Domen has observed that the GaN/ZnO semiconductor alloy serves, in presence of a sacrificial electron scavenger, as photocatalyst for solar water oxidation, producing H+ and O2 at aqueous/semiconductor interface. With suitable cocatalyst, same photoexcitation process also generates H2 from H+. The active sites, mechanisms, reaction intermediates are not known.

Poor electron mobility at SiC/SiO2 interfaces has long held up the development of SiC-based power devices. The degradation been attributed to defects interface and oxide as in case Si/SiO2 system, but a decade research led only limited improvement. Here we examine theoretical results available experimental evidence show that thermal oxidation generates immobile carbon di-interstitial inside semiconductor substrate they are major cause poor structures.
Gate and drain bias dependences of hot carrier degradation are evaluated for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs fabricated via two different process methods. Both positive negative threshold voltage Vth shifts observed each device type, depending on the mode duration stress, indicating presence significant densities donor-like acceptor-like traps. Worst-case stress transconductance is "ON" state both types. We find that provides a more effective parameter to monitor defect buildup than V <sub...
Responses to 1.8 MeV proton irradiation and 10-keV X-ray under typical bias conditions are investigated for AlGaN/GaN HEMTs fabricated with different types of process technologies. We find that, in contrast previous generations technologies, total ionizing dose effects can be significant these devices. For irradiation, worst-case transconductance degradation GaN-on-SiC substrate devices is ON bias, built on free-standing GaN substrates, the condition semi-ON bias. Low-frequency noise...
The debate about whether the insulating phases of vanadium dioxide ($\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{O}}_{2}$) can be described by band theory or it requires a strong electron correlations remains unresolved even after decades research. Energy-band calculations using hybrid exchange functionals including self-energy corrections account for metallic nature different but have not yet successfully accounted observed magnetic orderings. Strongly correlated theories had limited quantitative success. Here we...

We present a first-principles study of water adsorption on wurtzite GaN (101̅0) surface. studied the structures and energetics adsorption, calculated energy barrier for dissociation, analyzed water−water interactions. The results are very different from ZnO (101̅0). Water is found to adsorb dissociatively; dissociation negligible. As result substrate strain-mediated interactions hydrogen bonding, dense island agglomerates energetically favored at submonolayer coverage.

Abstract The nature of the insulator-to-metal phase transition in vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ) is one longest-standing problems condensed-matter physics. Ultrafast spectroscopy has long promised to determine whether primarily driven by electronic or structural degree freedom, but measurements date have been stymied their sensitivity only these components and/or limited temporal resolution. Here we use ultra-broadband few-femtosecond pump-probe resolve and transitions VO at fundamental time...
Vibrational spectra and thermal properties of a two-dimensional triangular lattice, where first-neighbor atoms interact with Lennard-Jones potential, are calculated using both classical molecular dynamics (MD) leading-order anharmonic perturbation theory (PT). The phonon quasiparticle (QPS), obtained nonperturbatively through MD, depend linearly on $T$ at low temperatures in good agreement the QPS by PT. However, noticeable deviations from linear dependence observed high $T$, which...
The irradiation and annealing responses of 4H-SiC MOS devices with nitrided oxides are investigated at varying biases. Radiation-induced hole trapping dominates the radiation response these devices. Switching bias between can lead to significant enhancement degradation in some cases. Positive followed by negative is found be worst-case for combined degradation. After irradiation, reversibility charge observed switched-bias n-substrate capacitors, while enhanced p-substrate capacitors. These...
