Forming and compliance-free operation of low-energy, fast-switching HfOS/HfS memristors.

We demonstrate low energy, forming and compliance-free operation of a resistive memory obtained by the partial oxidation of a two-dimensional layered van-der-Waals semiconductor: hafnium disulfide (HfS). Semiconductor-oxide heterostructures are achieved by low temperature (<300 °C) thermal oxidation of HfS under dry conditions, carefully controlling process parameters. The resulting HfOS/HfS heterostructures are integrated between metal contacts, forming vertical crossbar devices.

Study on the Effect of Magnesium Chloride-Modified Straw Waste Biochar on Acidic Soil Properties.

Soil biochar is a kind of organic matter rich in carbon, which is of great significance in soil fertility improvement, fertilizer type innovation and greenhouse gas emission reduction. In this paper, Mg-modified biochar was prepared by thermal cracking using rice straw and corn straw as raw materials. The Mg-modified biochar and unmodified biochar were fully mixed with prepared soil samples at the addition amounts of 0.

Distribution characteristics and influencing factors of soil organic carbon in tidal flat wetland of central Jiangsu, China.

We measured winter and summer soil organic carbon (SOC) contents in two typical coastal wetlands, the salt marsh and the non-vegetation mudflat, on the south side of the Chuandong River Estuary in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. We investigated the spatiotemporal variations of soil organic carbon contents and its driving factors. The results showed that SOC content ranged from 0.

Study on the inhibition mechanism of eucalyptus tannins against Microcystis aeruginosa.

Microcystis aeruginosa is the competitively dominant algal species in eutrophic waters and poses a serious threat to the aquatic ecological environment. To investigate the effects of eucalyptus tannins (TFL) and black water in eucalyptus plantations on M. aeruginosa, this study exposed M.
