Kernel-inspired algorithm to transform transmission electron microscopy images into discrete dipole approximation geometries.

In this work, we present a code that transforms 2D transmission electron microscopy images into 3D geometries for discrete dipole approximation simulations in DDSCAT 7.3.3 based on Python 3.

Strain-induced enhancement of surface self-diffusion on strontium titanate (001) surfaces.

We present a numerical investigation of self-diffusion on strontium titanate TiO-terminated (001) surfaces via density functional theory. Our calculations first indicate that Ti has the highest diffusion barrier with approximately 2.20 eV, thus representing the rate-limiting step for surface self-diffusion.

CMOS-compatible HfZrO-based ferroelectric memory crosspoints fabricated with damascene process.

We report the fabrication of HfZrO(HZO) based ferroelectric memory crosspoints using a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible damascene process. In this work, we compared 12 and 56mcrosspoint devices with the 0.02 mmround devices commonly used as a benchmark.

Unraveling the Heterointegration of 3D Semiconductors on Graphene by Anchor Point Nucleation.

The heterointegration of graphene with semiconductor materials and the development of graphene-based hybrid functional devices are heavily bound to the control of surface energy. Although remote epitaxy offers one of the most appealing techniques for implementing 3D/2D heterostructures, it is only suitable for polar materials and is hugely dependent on the graphene interface quality. Here, the growth of defect-free single-crystalline germanium (Ge) layers on a graphene-coated Ge substrate is demonstrated by introducing a new approach named anchor point nucleation (APN).

Raman spectroscopy investigation of magnesium oxide nanoparticles.

We investigate Raman spectra (100 cm to 3900 cm) of magnesium oxide nanoparticles with nominal sizes of 10 nm, 20 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, and 300 nm. The crystal structure of MgO prohibits first-order modes and yet, there are numerous reports of relatively intense peaks throughout the literature. Raman signals at approximately 278 cm and 445 cm that were attributed to MgO nanoparticles by previous authors are shown to belong to layers of Mg(OH) formed on the surface of MgO nanoparticles.
