A self-rectifying unipolar HfOx based RRAM using doped germanium bottom electrode by Liu, W. J., Tran, Xuan Anh, Sun, Xiaowei, Yu, Hongyu

“…Owning to Schottky barrier between defect states in HfOx layer and n-Ge substrate, RRAM cells possess a self-rectifying behavior in LRS which eliminates the read-out errors induced by leakage current paths in cross-bar array structure. The demonstrated RRAM device shows high ON/OFF ratio (>5 × 102 @ 0.5 V), and its effective Schottky barrier height is also addressed. …”

Immunotherapy-resistant neuropathic pain and fatigue predict quality-of-life in contactin-associated protein-like 2 antibody disease by Ceronie, B, Strippel, C, Uy, C, Paneva, S, Makuch, M, Soleimani, B, Turaga, S, Binks, S, Ramanathan, S, Michael, S, Varley, J, Easton, A, Themistocleous, A, John Dawes, Bennett, DL, Irani, A, Handel, AE, Irani, SR

“…Although most symptoms improved within 6 months of treatment, neuropathic pain and fatigue were the most immunotherapy refractory, and persisted for up to 6 years. Furthermore, these two factors—but not CASPR2 antibody levels or subclasses—independently predicted worse disability and quality-of-life at 24 months. …”
