Producing microscale Ge textures via titanium nitride- and nickel-assisted chemical etching with CMOS-compatibiliyty by Liao, Yikai, Shin, Sang-Ho, Jin, Yuhao, Wang, Qi Jie, Kim, Munho

“…Schottky contact barrier of metal catalyst with Ge is also investigated indicating similar hole injection efficiency among TiN, Ni, and Ti/Ni with Ge junction due to strong Fermi level pinning effect. The TiN- and Ni-assisted chemical etching of Ge shed light on CMOS-compatible Ge-based photonic and optoelectronic applications.…”

On the edge‐toughness of a graph. II by Peng, Y.H., Tay, T.S.

“….: For any positive integers r, s satisfying r/2 < s ≤ r, there exists an infinite family of graphs such that for each graph G in the family, λ(G) = r (where λ(G) is the edge‐connectivity of G) T1(G) = s, and G can be factored into s spanning trees.…”

Threshold for Steiner triple systems by Sah, Ashwin, Sawhney, Mehtaab, Simkin, Michael

“…Abstract We prove that with high probability $$\mathbb {G}^{(3)}(n,n^{-1+o(1)})$$ G ( 3 ) ( n , n - 1 + o ( 1 ) ) contains a spanning Steiner triple system for $$n\equiv 1,3\pmod {6}$$ n ≡ 1 , 3 ( mod 6 ) , establishing the exponent for the threshold probability for existence of a Steiner triple system. …”
