Surface relief grating formation in photo-responsive azo polymers under irradiation is a long-ago-found phenomenon, but all the factors governing its efficiency are still not fully recognized. Here, we report on the enormous impact of the polymer thickness on the possibility of fabrication of extremely high-amplitude surface deformations. We performed prolonged holographic recordings on the layers of the same azobenzene poly(ether imide), which had substantially different optical transmittances at the recording wavelength and revealed that the depths of the inscribed relief structures increased with the polymer thickness from a nondetectable value up to almost 2 µm, unaffected by the presence of a polymer-glass substrate interface in either sample.

- - The study explores a new method for creating highly plasmonic titanium nitride (TiN) films through magnetron sputtering without the need for high substrate temperatures, which typically aids in film crystallization.
- - It highlights how tuning the deposition process, including film stoichiometry and microstructure, can effectively adjust the films' plasmonic properties, along with considering the impact of deposition time on optical characteristics.
- - The findings indicate a scalable and cost-effective approach compatible with CMOS technology, producing TiN films with an impressive plasmonic Figure of Merit (FoM) ranging from 0.8 to 2.6, with the highest quality samples achieving a FoM of 2.1 at both
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how temperature influences the electrical properties of Al/SiO/n++-Si resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices, focusing on their electroforming behavior.
- Findings indicate that both the forming voltage and time-to-breakdown can be modeled using the Weibull distribution, highlighting a statistical approach to these parameters.
- The research also reveals that at elevated temperatures, distinct intermediate resistance states occur, with Space Charge Limited Conduction (SCLC) identified as the primary mechanism for electron transport across all tested temperatures.
