The influence of tropical cyclones on mixed-population flood frequency analysis by Wang, L, Gu, X, Slater, LJ, Li, J, Lai, Y, Zhang, X, Dai, J, Chen, Y

“…Our results show that TC-induced floods in inland areas are not always found along the TC path but can be located about 1000 km ahead, which is linked to TC-induced predecessor rain events. Extreme floods associated with TCs are generally larger in coastal areas compared to those in inland areas, whereas TC-induced floods in some inland areas tend to be more extreme relative to their local flood magnitude. …”

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. …”
