Insights into nanoparticle shape transformation by energetic ions by Aleksi A. Leino, Ville E. Jantunen, Pablo Mota-Santiago, Patrick Kluth, Flyura Djurabekova

“…Without the necessity of ad-hoc assumptions used earlier, our simulations show that, due to adhesion with the oxide, the nanoparticles can grow in aspect ratio while in the molten state even after silicon dioxide solidifies. Moreover, they demonstrate the active role of the matrix: Only explicit simulations of ion impacts around the embedded nanoparticle provide the mechanism for continuous elongation up to experimental values of aspect ratio. …”

High-Frequency Capacitor with Working Substance "Insulator-Undoped Silicon-Insulator" by N. A. Poklonski, I. I. Anikeev, S. A. Vyrko

“…The study of the parameters of capacitors with various working substances is of interest for the design and creation of electronic elements, in particular for the development of high-frequency phase-shifting circuits.The purpose of the work is to calculate the high-frequency capacitance of a capacitor with the working substance "insulator-undoped silicon-insulator" at different applied to the capacitor direct current (DC) voltages, measuring signal frequencies and temperatures.A model of such the capacitor is proposed, in which 30 µm thick layer of undoped (intrinsic) crystalline silicon (i-Si) is separated from each of the capacitor electrodes by 1 µm thick insulator layer (silicon dioxide).The dependences of the capacitor capacitance on the DC electrical voltage U on metal electrodes at zero frequency and at the measuring signal frequency of 1 MHz at absolute temperatures T = 300 and 400 K are calculated. …”
