Nanopore technology has been extensively investigated for analysis of biomolecules, and a success story in this field concerns DNA sequencing using nanopore chip featuring an array hundreds biological nanopores (BioNs). Solid-state (SSNs) have explored to attain longer lifetime higher integration density than what BioNs can offer, but SSNs are generally considered generate noise whose origin remains be confirmed. Here, we systematically study low-frequency (including thermal flicker)...

A method of forming cubic phase (zinc blende) GaN (referred as c‐GaN) on a CMOS‐compatible on‐axis Si (100) substrate is reported. Conventional materials are hexagonal (wurtzite) h‐GaN) and possess very high polarization fields (∼MV/cm) along the common growth direction <0001>. Such large lead to undesired shifts (e.g., wavelength current) in performance photonic vertical transport electronic devices. The polarization‐free <001>, however, this thermodynamically unstable,...

Sophisticated microelectromechanical systems for device and sensor applications have flourished in the past decade. These devices exploit piezoelectric, capacitive, piezoresistive effects, coupling between them. However, high-performance piezoresistivity (as defined by on/off ratio) has primarily been observed macroscopic single crystals. In this Letter, we show first time that rare-earth monochalcogenides thin film form can modulate a current more than 1000 times due to pressure-induced...

We report first principles investigations of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in Fe and Ni four-probe crossbar nanostructures where boundary scattering is a very important mechanism for predicted AHE resistance. The results allow us to understand nanoscopic physics terms how quantized channels are scattered by boundaries contribute resistance, spin orbit interaction (SOI) versus scattering, texture channels, symmetry matrices.
