GaO@GaN Nanowire Arrays on Flexible Graphite Paper with Tunable Persistent Photoconductivity.

Flexible optoelectronic synaptic devices that functionally imitate the neural behavior with tunable optoelectronic characteristics are crucial to the development of advanced bioinspired neural networks. In this work, amorphous oxide-decorated GaN nanowire arrays (GaO@GaN NWAs) are prepared on flexible graphite paper. A GaO@GaN NWA-based flexible device has tunable persistent photoconductivity (PPC) and shows a conversible fast/slow decay process (SDP).

[Histological analysis of the anterior lobe region in transurethral prostatectomy].

Objective: To explore the possibility of injury to the striated urethral sphincter by incision to the anterior lobe region in transurethral prostatectomy.

Methods: We incised the anterior lobe region of 60 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) undergoing transurethral prostatectomy. The patients were divided into four groups according to the incision fields: proximate superficial (group 1), proximate deep (group 2), distal superficial (group 3) and distal deep (group 4).

[Photoluminescence from Si and Er dual-implanted Si-rich thermal oxidation SiO2/Si thin films].

Si and Er ions were implanted into Si-rich thermal oxidation SiO2/Si thin film using metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) ion source implanter, which could produce ion beams with high-fluence and strong-flux. Rutheroford backscattering spectra show that Er concentration in as-implanted sample is attained to 10 at. % corresponding to the level of 10(21) atoms.
