The intrinsic n-type behavior and unavailability of the appropriate p-type doping method for MoS allows only n-type conduction with depletion mode (D-mode) characteristics and forbids the implementation of p-type field-effect transistors (FETs). The D-mode characteristic results in a high off-current (I) at zero gate bias, which limits the usage of MoS FETs for industry-scale (n-channel metal-oxide semiconductor) NMOS/(complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) CMOS-logic-based applications due to significant power dissipation. Both these issues, i.

Here, we show that from a Pacific Northwest wildfire, over 90% of particles are solid S-BrC with a mean refractive index of 1.49 + 0.

However, community-based data on HBV prevalence among blood donors in India are limited. The burden of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is unknown in the asymptomatic blood donor population.
