The rational design of metal contacts on transition dichalcogenides can significantly improve the performance 2D devices. We have previously shown that a Moire interface between n-type monolayer MoS2 and enhances stability physisorptive sites, thereby enabling weaker Fermi level pinning allowing easier variation Schottky barrier height at these interfaces. extend calculations to p-type ambipola...

In this paper, a problem of isothermic DNA sequencing by hybridization (SBH) is considered. In isothermic SBH a new type of oligonucleotide libraries is used. The library consists of oligonucleotides of different lengths depending on an oligonucleotide content. It is assumed that every oligonucleotide in such a library has an equal melting temperature. Each nucleotide adds its increment to the ...

A new scalable interconnection topology called the Spanning Multichannel Linked Hypercube (SMLH) is proposed along with an optical implementation methodology that combines both the advantages of free space optics with those of wavelength division multiplexing techniques. The SMLH uses the hypercube topology as a basic building block and connects such building blocks using two-dimensional multic...

Increased encephalization, or larger brain volume relative to body mass, is a repeated theme in vertebrate evolution. Here we present an extensive sampling of relative brain sizes in fossil and extant taxa in the mammalian order Carnivora (cats, dogs, bears, weasels, and their relatives). By using Akaike Information Criterion model selection and endocranial volume and body mass data for 289 spe...

Communication is the glue that holds societies together and we might expect that highly social species with more to communicate about will have more complex communication systems and more complex cognitive abilities. Social species gain benefits from living in groups, and many of these benefits rely on intra-group communication. For example, predator-specific alarm calls can lead to different e...

A comprehensive study of Schottky barrier MOSFET (SBMOSFET) scaling issue is performed to determine the role of wafer orientation and structural parameters on the performance of this device within Non-equilibrium Green's Function formalism. Quantum confinement increases the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH). (100) orientation provides lower effective Schottky barrier height in compa...

In this work we theoretically investigate the responsivity/noise equivalent power (NEP) trade-off in graphene/semiconductor Schottky photodetectors (PDs) operating near-infrared regime and working at room temperature. Our analysis shows that responsivity/NEP ratio is strongly dependent on barrier height (SBH) of junction, derive a closed analytical formula for maximizing it. addition, discuss h...

We investigate the relations between the physical quantities and the physical constants by the dimensional analysis. From normal form of uncertainty relations (URs), we propose an assumption which the physical quantities have the formal symmetry with the physical constants; and find three basic formulas. A physical quantity has a corresponding Planck scale and many physical quantities have the ...
