Enlightening of the low-dimensional high-TC superconductivity: bond contraction and electron dual polarization [低维高温超导的启示: 键收缩与电子双重极化] by Sun, Chang Qing

“…Second, atomic undercoordination of the O-Cu chains and the O-Cu planes shortens and stiffens the local O-Cu bond and lengthens and weakens the O:Cup nonbonding interactions associated with further enhancement of the Cup dipoles polarization, this process is the same as the O:H-O bond relaxation and polarization occurred to the skins of water and ice. Last, the electronphonon interaction is realized by the undercoordination-induced bond relaxation and the dual polarization by lone pairs and bond contraction. …”

Water resources and extreme events in the Awash basin: economic effects and policy implications: report prepared for the Global Green Growth Institute by Smale, R, Walker, O, Vadheim, B, Hope, R, Hope, R, Charles, K, Hall, J, Dadson, S, Borgomeo, E, Kebede, S, Alamirew, T, Bekele, F, Mengistu, A, Beyene, S

“…Plausible future hydrological conditions drawn from global climate models, applied to the Growth and Transition Planning period (GTP) from 2011-15, lead to swings in basin GDP of the order of 5-20%. Furthermore, as the economy is projected to grow sharply in coming years so is the degree of water scarcity. …”

Design of RF front-end circuit blocks for low-power applications by Lim, Kok Meng

“…By incorporating a power amplifier on-chip several considerations need to be addressed, a power amplifier have high gain resulting in a huge signal swings. These signals tend to find their way to other frequency sensitive circuits such as oscillators, through certain feedback paths or substrate coupling. …”

Ohmic contact formation to β-Ga2O3 nanosheet transistors with Ar-containing plasma treatment by Chen, Jinxin, Liu, Bingyan, Gu, Yang, Li, Bin

“…With the optimal plasma pre-treatment (i.e., Ar plasma, 100 W, 60 s), the resulting β-Ga2O3 nanosheet field-effect transistors (FETs) show effective Ohmic contact (i.e., contact resistance RC of 104 Ω·mm) without any post-annealing, which leads to competitive device performance such as a high current on/off ratio (>107), a low subthreshold swing (SS, 249 mV/dec), and acceptable field-effect mobility ((Formula presented.), ~21.73 cm2 V−1 s−1). …”

InAlN/GaN high electron mobility transistors on Si for RF applications by Xing, Weichuan

“…A thin layer of oxide between the metal gate and the thin InAlN barrier and form a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) gate in the Planar nanostrip-channel GaN HEMT, gate leakage current was reduced and thus increase the gate voltage swing and drain current swing. The results show that the Planar nanostrip-channel Al2O3/InAlN/GaN MISHEMTs is able to work at up to Vg = +4 V and the linearity performance was further improved. …”
