Improved electrical performance of Erbium silicide Schottky diodes formed by pre-RTA amorphization of Si by Tang, L. J., Tan, Eu Jin, Pey, Kin Leong, Chi, Dong Zhi, Lee, Pooi See

“…Erbium silicide Schottky diodes formed on Si(001) substrate using rapid thermal annealing method show degraded Schottky-barrier height ϕ_Beff and ideality factor due to the presence of silicide-induced microstructural defects which are likely sources of trap states. A method to improve the ϕ_Beff and of the diodes utilizing in situ Ar plasma cleaning to induce a light amorphization of the Si(001) substrate is proposed. …”

Metal-free access to β-carbolines via single-electron transfer catalyzed by a triaryl carbenium ion pair by Zhang, Zhenguo, Gu, Jun, Lv, Yongheng, Ji, Liang, Liu, Xiaoxiao, Wu, Beishen, Liu, Fang, Jia, Zhenhua, Loh, Teck-Peng

“…Mechanistic studies reveal that the trityl radical is generated via a single-electron transfer process and subsequently trapped by an oxygen molecule. In addition, the in-situ-generated reactive oxygen-centered radical is also found to be essential for the efficient dehydroaromatization process to afford the desired products.…”

Determination of mosquitoes species diversity and molecular detection of West Nile virus in wild bird habitats in Perak and Selangor, Malaysia by Jafar Ali, Natasha

“…The aim of this study was identifying the diversity of mosquito species found near to the wild bird habitats and determining the presence of WNV RNA in the mosquitoes in the selected areas of West Coast Malaysia. Mosquitoes were trapped by using CDC Light Trap baited with carbon dioxide followed by sex and species identification with morphological and taxonomic keys under stereomicroscope. …”

Interpretation of an anomalous peak in low-temperature photoluminescence measurements of bulk GaAs[sub 1−x]N[sub x] on GaAs by Cheah, Weng Kwong, Fan, Weijun, Yoon, Soon Fatt, Loke, Wan Khai, Liu, R., Wee, A. T. S.

“…The band-anticrossing model is used to identify the origins of the two peaks and we propose a model to explain the RTA observations by the concept of increased confinement in areas of higher N concentrations by trapped N localized states. The peak is due to the accumulation of N content near the GaAs/GaAsN interface. …”

High flux strontium atom source by Feng, C. H., Robert, P., Bouyer, P., Canuel, B., Li, Jianing, Das, Swarup, Kwong, Chang Chi, Wilkowski, David, Prevedelli, M., Bertoldi, A.

“…Our approach involves velocity-dependent transverse capture of atoms using a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. To enhance the atomic flux, we employ tailored magnetic fields that minimize radial beam expansion and incorporate a cascaded Zeeman-slowing configuration utilizing two optical frequencies. …”

Radioactive Atoms and Molecules for Fundamental Physics by Udrescu, Silviu-Marian

“…I will then present the theoretical calculations and the status of an experiment aiming to measure hadronic parity violation using single molecular ions inside a Penning trap. The experiment's goal is to use the external magnetic field provided by the trap to fine-tune molecular energy levels of opposite parity close to degeneracy, thus increasing the signal produced by parity violating nuclear properties. …”
