  • The AC impedance characteristics revealed single semicircular patterns in the real and imaginary components, indicating a specific equivalent electrical circuit model consisting of resistance, capacitance, and a constant phase element for the heterojunctions.

Article Abstract

Coaxial arc plasma deposition (CAPD) was employed to manufacture n-type silicon/boron-doped p-type ultrananocrystalline diamond heterojunctions. Measurement and analysis of their dark current density-voltage curve were carried out at room temperature in order to calculate the requisite junction parameters using the Cheung and Norde approaches. For the calculation based on the Cheung approach, the series resistance (), ideality factor () and barrier height () were 4.58 kΩ, 2.82 and 0.75 eV, respectively. The values of and were in agreement with those calculated using the Norde approach. Their characteristics for alternative current impedance at different frequency values were measured and analyzed as a function of the voltage (V) values ranging from 0 V to 0.5 V. Appearance of the real (') and imaginary (″) characteristics for all values presented single semicircles. The centers of the semicircular curves were below the ' axis and the diameter of the semicircles decreased with increments of the value. The proper equivalent electrical circuit model for the manufactured heterojunction behavior was comprised of combined with the parallel circuit of resistance and constant phase element.

Motivated by the similarity of the mathematical structure of Einstein's general relativity in its weak field limit and of Maxwell's theory of electrodynamics it is shown that there are gravitational analogs of the Josephson effect and the quantum Hall effect. These effects can be combined to derive a gravitational analogue of the electric quantum metrological triangle. The gravitational quantum metrological triangle may have applications in metrology and could be used to investigate the relation of the Planck constant to fundamental particle masses.

Effective detection is critical for terahertz applications, yet it remains hindered by the unclear mechanisms that necessitate a deeper understanding of photosensitive materials with exotic physical phenomena. Here, we investigate the terahertz detection capabilities of the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic semimetal NbFeTe. Our study reveals that the interaction between antiferromagnetic magnetic moments and electron spin induces disordered carriers to hop between localized states, resulting in a nonlinear increase in responsivity as temperature decreases.

Clinical adoption of innovative EEG technology is contingent on the non-inferiority of the new devices relative to conventional ones. We present the four key results from testing the signal quality of Zeto's WR19 EEG system against a conventional EEG system conducted on patients in a clinical setting. Methods: We performed 30-minute simultaneous recordings using the Zeto WR19 (zEEG) and a conventional clinical EEG system (cEEG) in a cohort of 15 patients.

A novel approach to delicately control the phase of a ferroelectric has been developed using a continuous-wave laser scanning annealing (CW-LSA) process. After proper process optimization, the equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of 3.5 Å with a dielectric constant (κ) of 68 Å is achieved from HZO in a metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitor structure.
