Organic ferroelectric memory devices based on resistive switching by Damar Yoga Kusuma

“…This approach accelerates the switching kinetics as polarization reversal shifts from the nucleation-limited regime to the growth-limited regime. On the other hand, mutual combination of SAM’s fixed dipole and ferroelectric’s polarizable dipole is employed to realize ferroelectric field effect transistor devices with tailored operational parameters, reduced charge trapping and improved retention stability. …”

Effects of resonant tunneling and dynamics of coherent interaction on intrinsic linewidth of quantum cascade lasers by Liu, Tao, Lee, Kenneth E., Wang, Qi Jie

“…Results show that the coupling strength and the dephasing rate associated with resonant tunneling strongly affect the linewidth of THz QCLs in the incoherent resonant-tunneling transport regime but only induce little influence in the coherent regime. …”

An image processing approach to feature-preserving B-spline surface fairing by Kawasaki, Taro, Jayaraman, Pradeep Kumar, Shida, Kentaro, Zheng, Jianmin, Maekawa, Takashi

“…In particular, our approach adaptively partitions the B-spline surface into a set of segments such that each segment has approximately uniform parameterization, generates an image from each segment in the parameter space whose pixel values are the normal vectors of the surface, and then applies a bilateral filter in the parameter domain to fair the normal field. …”
