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. …”

Additive friction stir processing by Lin, Longyi

“…The continuous dynamic recrystalisation during FSP also gave finer grains, which was further enhanced with the addition of CNTs through Zener pinning effect. The improvement in tensile strengths due to finer grains through the Hall-Petch mechanism was insufficient to compensate for the drop in Orowan strengthening. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”
