Improved Performance of NbO Resistive Switching Memory by In-Situ N Doping.

Valence change memory (VCM) attracts numerous attention in memory applications, due to its high stability and low energy consumption. However, owing to the low on/off ratio of VCM, increasing the difficulty of information identification hinders the development of memory applications. We prepared N-doped NbO:N films (thickness = approximately 15 nm) by pulsed laser deposition at 200 °C.

3D Printing of Nacre-Inspired Structures with Exceptional Mechanical and Flame-Retardant Properties.

Flame-retardant and thermal management structures have attracted great attention due to the requirement of high-temperature exposure in industrial, aerospace, and thermal power fields, but the development of protective fire-retardant structures with complex shapes to fit arbitrary surfaces is still challenging. Herein, we reported a rotation-blade casting-assisted 3D printing process to fabricate nacre-inspired structures with exceptional mechanical and flame-retardant properties, and the related fundamental mechanisms are studied. 3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA) modified boron nitride nanoplatelets (BNs) were aligned by rotation-blade casting during the 3D printing process to build the "brick and mortar" architecture.
