In this paper, a silicon-oxide-nitride-silicon nonvolatile memory constructed on an n+-poly-Si nanowire [NW] structure featuring a junctionless [JL] configuration is presented. The JL structure is fulfilled by employing only one in situ heavily phosphorous-doped poly-Si layer to simultaneously serve as source/drain regions and NW channels, thus greatly simplifying the manufacturing process and ...

Novel ITO-Si nanowire (NW) metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) photodetectors were fabricated by using n-type Si NWs as detection units and ITO films as top gate electrodes. Measurements on the Si NW based device reveal a significant photoresponse, including photocurrent generation with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of approximately 35% at a peak wavelength of 600 nm at zero external bia...

the subduction of the northern part of the tethys is documented by arc magmatism from upper triassic to lower eocene crosscutting the sanandaj-sirjan zone and from upper eocene to plio-quaternary in the urumieh-dokhtar magmatic zone, situated north of the ssz. neyriz ophiolite is part of middle eatern neo-tethyan ocean of mesozoic that geographically is related to ophiolites of nw-se iran, alon...

Central to the bottom-up paradigm of nanoscience, which could lead to entirely new and highly integrated functional nanosystems, is the development of effective assembly methods that enable hierarchical organization of nanoscale building blocks over large areas. Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) represent one of the most powerful and versatile classes of synthetically tunable nanoscale building blo...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) on potassium chloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2) in rats following nicotine withdrawal and the roles played by BDNF/Trk/KCC2 pathway in nicotine withdrawal-induced hyperalgesia. METHODS Seventy-eight rats were randomly assigned to five groups: control group (n = 12) without any treatmen...

The objective of the study was to estimate genetic parameters for length of productive life (LPL), and determine its genetic correlation with age at first farrowing (AFF), number of piglets weaned at first farrowing (NW), and first wean-to-insemination interval (W2I) in the Finnish Landrace swine population. Data from the Finnish national litter recording scheme were utilized to estimate the ge...

BACKGROUND Dietary restraint is largely unsuccessful for controlling obesity. As an alternative, subjects can easily be trained to reliably recognize sensations of initial hunger (IH) a set of physiological sensations which emerge spontaneously, not necessarily at planned mealtimes, and may be the afferent arm of a homeostatic system of food intake regulation. Previously we have reported that I...

Track-etched polymer membranes with crossed nanochannels have been revealed to be most suitable as templates to produce large surface area and mechanically stable 3D interconnected nanowire (NW) networks by electrodeposition. Geometrically controlled NW superstructures made of NiCo ferromagnetic alloys exhibit appealing magnetoresistive properties. The combination of exact alloy compositions wi...

The applicability of a novel silicon precursor with respect to reasonable nanowire (NW) growth rates, feasibility of epitaxial NW growth and versatility with respect to diverse catalysts was investigated. Epitaxial growth of Si-NWs was achieved using octochlorotrisilane (OCTS) as Si precursor and Au as catalyst. In contrast to the synthesis approach with SiCl(4) as precursor, OCTS provides Si w...

The optical polarization properties of GaN/AlGaN core/shell nanowire (NW) heterostructures have been investigated using polarization resolved micro-photoluminescence (μ-PL) and interpreted in terms of a strain-dependent 6 × 6 k·p theoretical model. The NW heterostructures were fabricated in two steps: the Si-doped n-type c-axis GaN NW cores were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and then ep...
