Stabilizing the Ferroelectric Phase of Hf_{0.5}Zr_{0.5}O_{2} Thin Films by Charge Transfer.

Ferroelectric hafnia-based thin films have attracted significant interest due to their compatibility with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology (CMOS). Achieving and stabilizing the metastable ferroelectric phase in these films is crucial for their application in ferroelectric devices. Recent research efforts have concentrated on the stabilization of the ferroelectric phase in hafnia-based films and delving into the mechanisms responsible for this stability.

Approaching the Ideal Linearity in Epitaxial Crystalline-Type Memristor by Controlling Filament Growth.

Brain-inspired neuromorphic computing has attracted widespread attention owing to its ability to perform parallel and energy-efficient computation. However, the synaptic weight of amorphous/polycrystalline oxide based memristor usually exhibits large nonlinear behavior with high asymmetry, which aggravates the complexity of peripheral circuit system. Controllable growth of conductive filaments is highly demanded for achieving the highly linear conductance modulation.

Highly Energy-Efficient Spin Current Generation in SrIrO by Manipulating the Octahedral Rotation.

Materials with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) have been continuously attracting intensive attention due to their promising application in energy-efficient, high-density, and nonvolatile spintronic devices. Particularly, transition-metal perovskite oxides with strong SOC have been demonstrated to exhibit efficient charge-spin interconversion. In this study, we systematically investigated the impact of epitaxial strain on the spin-orbit torque (SOT) efficiency in the SrIrO(SIO)/NiFe(Py) bilayer.

Interface-engineered ferroelectricity of epitaxial HfZrO thin films.

Ferroelectric hafnia-based thin films have attracted intense attention due to their compatibility with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. However, the ferroelectric orthorhombic phase is thermodynamically metastable. Various efforts have been made to stabilize the ferroelectric orthorhombic phase of hafnia-based films such as controlling the growth kinetics and mechanical confinement.

[Pathologic observation on animal model of silicosis].

Objective: To explore the pathological changes of pulmonary fibrosis induced by SiO2 in rats and pigs.

Methods: The silicosis models in rats and pigs were established by non-exposure method. The pathologic changes in lung tissues of rats and pigs were observed with HE staining under a light microscopy and under a transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the expression of cytokines was detected by immunohistochemistry.

[Diagnostic value and clinical application of CT/HRCT for coal workers' pneumoconiosis with large opacities].

Objective: To study the diagnostic value of CT/HRCT for the coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) with large opacities.

Methods: Sixty-two patients with CWP were examined with both chest radiograph and CT/HRCT scan. Comparison was done.

[The diagnostic value and morphologic manifestation of high resolution computerized tomography in coal miner's pneumoconiosis with pleural pathological changes].

Objective: To analyse CT and high resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) diagnostic value and morphologic manifestation in coal miner's pneumoconiosis with pleural pathological changes.

Methods: One hundred and thirty-one cases of coal miner patients with pneumoconiosis (0(+) type: 14 cases, type I: 46 cases, type II: 58 cases, type III: 13 cases) and 20 normal people as control group were first examined by routine CT scan at 4 fixed slices, followed by HRCT examination at the region of interest (ROI). Meanwhile, all of them had high-kV chest radiography.

[CT quantitative study of coal miner's pneumoconiosis].

Objective: To study the value of CT quantitativeness in the diagnosis of coal miner's pneumoconiosis.

Methods: 104 cases were examined by HRCT scan at top of aortic arc, carina of trachea, 3 cm below the bifurcation of bronchi, among them there were 87 patients with different stages of coal miner's pneumoconiosis, 17 cases of normal males as the control group. All images were determined by CT density histogram at specific region (- 1,024-0 HU).
