Electrical characterization of single nanometer-wide Si fins in dense arrays
摘要： This paper demonstrates the development of a methodology using the micro four-point probe (μ4PP) technique to electrically characterize single nanometer-wide fins arranged in dense arrays. We show that through the concept of carefully controlling the electrical contact formation process, the electrical measurement can be confined to one individual fin although the used measurement electrodes physically contact more than one fin. We demonstrate that we can precisely measure the resistance of individual ca. 20 nm wide fins and that we can correlate the measured variations in fin resistance with variations in their nanometric width. Due to the demonstrated high precision of the technique, this opens the prospect for the use of μ4PP in electrical critical dimension metrology.

Disorder Control in Crystalline GeSb <sub/>2</sub> Te <sub/>4</sub> and its Impact on Characteristic Length Scales
摘要： Crystalline GeSb2Te4 (GST) is a remarkable material, as it allows to continuously tune the electrical resistance by orders of magnitude without involving a structural phase transition or stoichiometric changes. While well-ordered specimen are metallic, increasing amounts of disorder eventually lead to an insulating state with vanishing conductivity in the 0 K limit, but a similar number of charge carriers. Hence, GST provides ideal grounds to explore the impact of disorder on transport properties. Here, a sputter-deposition process is employed that enables growing biaxially textured GST films with large grain sizes on mica substrates. The resulting films exhibit a systematic variation between metallic and truly insulating specimen upon varying deposition temperature. Transport measurements reveal that their electron mean free path can be altered by a factor of 20, while always remaining more than an order of magnitude smaller than the lateral grain size. This proves unequivocally that grain boundaries play a negligible role for electron scattering, while intra-grain scattering, presumably by disordered vacancies, dominates. These findings underline that the insulating state and the system’s evolution toward metallic conductivity are intrinsic properties of the material.

Effects of low-temperature sintering on surface morphology and electrical performance of silver nanoparticle/carbon nanotube composite films
摘要： Silver nanoparticle (AgNP)/carbon nanotube (CNT) composites are drawing increasing attention for several applications, especially where transparency is required. However, interfacial interaction and stability of the AgNP/CNT composites have been scarcely investigated. In the present study, transparent coatings were prepared from dispersed AgNP-coated multiwalled CNTs and exposed to different annealing conditions. The changes in surface morphology and evolution of interfacial configuration of AgNP-decorated CNT transparent composite films were investigated. Under certain conditions, CNT ropes were glued to one another by the melted AgNP aggregates, resulting in the improvement of the measured electrical properties. The in situ measurements of the electrical properties allowed correlating the AgNPs sintering mechanism with the morphological observations. Notably, at a given temperature, increasing the initial film density increased the time necessary to complete the AgNPs sintering. The obtained results show that the electrical resistance can be used as a tool to indirectly monitor the network state of transparent AgNP-decorated CNT composite films, hence paving the way to tuning the composite film properties with a high precision for the desired application. These findings also explain the mechanism of reinforcement of polymer nanocomposites by the current nanofillers.

In-situ hydrothermal fabrication of CdS/g-C3N4 nanocomposites for enhanced photocatalytic water splitting
摘要： In this work, a series of CdS/g-C3N4 nanocomposites with varying wt% CdS were prepared via an in-situ hydrothermal synthesis method. 10 wt% CdS/g-C3N4 nanocomposites displayed the highest rate of hydrogen evolution via photocatalytic water splitting. The H2 evolution rate of 10 wt% CdS/g-C3N4 is 21 times greater than pure g-C3N4 and 4 times greater than that of pure CdS. Key factors responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the improved charge separation and increased surface area of CdS/g-C3N4 nanocomposites. These findings may serve as a platform for the fabrication of other photocatalytic multi-material nanocomposites in the future.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD) - Budapest (2018.7.1-2018.7.5)] 2018 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Dielectrics (ICD) - Chemical Analysis of Solid Insulation Degradation using the AFM-IR Technique
摘要： To enable the continued development of power transmission cabling, an understanding of the processes which result in their failures is essential. In order to do so, powerful analysis techniques are required. However, those which consider chemical degradation are lagging behind those for visible degradation. This paper presents the Atomic Force Microscopy - Infrared Spectroscopy (AFM-IR) chemical analysis technique, which can provide surface chemical analysis with resolution of ~50 nm across the infrared spectrum. Two cases are considered: interfacial tracking between epoxy and silicone rubber, and the degraded region formed in front of a needle tip in the electrical tree initiation process. The results obtained using AFM-IR are compared to the outcomes from other techniques. It is found that AFM-IR offers a unique and powerful insight into visible and non-visible degradation of solid dielectrics.

摘要： Electrical Capacitance Volume Tomography (ECVT) is a capacitance based tomography technology which is developed since its advantages on non-invasive properties, low energy, and portability. One of the challenge on developing this tomography technology is on its imaging algorithm. Naturally the imaging method forms under-determined linear system which is indicated by dimension of the measurement is much smaller compared to the projected value dimension. Mathematically it implies ill-posed inverse problem. Therefore Compressive Sensing framework is used to solve the corresponding inverse problem. To improve the accuracy of the predicted image reconstruction, new threshold approach, Double Layer Soft Threshold, is proposed and attached to the proposed Compressive Sensing based ECVT imaging method. The simulations results show that the proposed method is able to improve the conventional ECVT imaging method, Iterative Linear Back Projection (ILBP), by significantly eliminating the elongation error.

Optoelectronic properties of transparent conducting silver beta alumina and indium doped silver beta alumina thin films prepared by multi source vacuum evaporation method
摘要： The present study reports the optoelectronic properties of crystalline transparent conducting silver beta alumina (AgAl11O17) and indium doped silver beta alumina (AgAl11O17:In) thin films. In contrast to the p-type conductivity of the delafossite AgAlO2, both the hexagonal crystalline AgAl11O17 and AgAl11O17:In are n-type as confirmed by hot probe, hall effect and thermoelectric measurements. The variation in electrical conductivity (10-5-10-2 S/cm) and activation energy are correlated with carrier concentration and mobility. The films exhibit a wide direct band gap of ~3.93 ±0.02eV and transparency upto~62%.

Highly Hydrophobic Conducting Nanocomposites Based on a Fluoropolymer with Carbon Nanotubes
摘要： A procedure was suggested for preparing highly hydrophobic conducting coatings based on fluoropolymers with carbon nanotubes of two types: Taunit-MD and carbon nanotubes functionalized with alkyl groups. The surface resistance, contact angle, sliding angle, and surface roughness were measured; structural features of the nanocomposites were studied. The properties of the coatings obtained depend on the concentration and type of the carbon nanotubes used. Introduction of functionalized carbon nanotubes into a fluoropolymer matrix allows preparation of coatings with higher values of the sliding angle and electrical resistance. The contact angle and sliding angle depend on the surface roughness and structure in different fashions.

Amplitude Modulation-based Electrical Stimulation for Encoding Multipixel Spatiotemporal Visual Information in Retinal Neural Activities
摘要： Retinal implants have been developed as a promising way to restore partial vision for the blind. The observation and analysis of neural activities can offer valuable insights for successful prosthetic electrical stimulation. Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) activities have been investigated to provide knowledge on the requirements for electrical stimulation, such as threshold current and the effect of stimulation waveforms. To develop a detailed 'stimulation strategy' for faithful delivery of spatiotemporal visual information to the brain, it is essential to examine both the temporal and spatial characteristics of RGC responses, whereas previous studies were mainly focused on one or the other. In this study, we investigate whether the spatiotemporal visual information can be decoded from the RGC network activity evoked by patterned electrical stimulation. Along with a thorough characterization of spatial spreading of stimulation current and temporal information encoding, we demonstrated that multipixel spatiotemporal visual information can be accurately decoded from the population activities of RGCs stimulated by amplitude-modulated pulse trains. We also found that the details of stimulation, such as pulse amplitude range and pulse rate, were crucial for accurate decoding. Overall, the results suggest that useful visual function may be restored by amplitude modulation-based retinal stimulation.

摘要： CaCO3 is an inorganic substance with low toxicity. Electrical properties of CaCO3 is rarely reported although it has promising potential as biosensor. Therefore it is our aim to provide information on CaCO3 electrical properties. This work described the effect of different distance of metal contact pad and also the effect of light to the electrical conductivity of CaCO3. CaCO3 thin film was prepared at 1.0M by gas diffusion method. From the results, the value of current is not affected by different distance of metal contact pad. Results showed conductivity of CaCO3 thin films were not affected by the presence of light. Therefore CaCO3 thin film conductivity is stable and suitable for wide application and further study such as for biosensor.
