Electrical, structural and morphological properties of Ni silicide films formed in Ni(Pt 4at.% )/Si(100) and Ni0.6Si0.4(Pt4at.% )/Si(100) structures at various annealing temperatures ranging from 200 to 1000 oC were studied. The Ni(Pt) and Ni0.6Si0.4(Pt) films with thickness of 15 and 25 nm were deposited by RF magnetron co-sputtering method, respectively.  The annealing process of the structur...

Hydrogen-terminated, chlorine-terminated, and alkyl-terminated crystalline Si(111) surfaces have been characterized using high-resolution, soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy from a synchrotron radiation source. The H-terminated Si(111) surface displayed a Si 2p(3/2) peak at a binding energy 0.15 eV higher than the bulk Si 2p(3/2) peak. The integrated area of this shifted peak corresponded to...

• Si is the set of (pure) strategies of player i, • S = ∏ i∈N Si is the set of states, • ci : S → R is the cost function of player i ∈ N . In state s ∈ S, player i has a cost of ci(s). We denote by s−i = (s1, ..., si−1, si+1, ..., sn) a state s without the strategy si. This notation allows us to concisely define a unilateral deviation of a player. For i ∈ N , let s ∈ S and si ∈ Si, then (si, s−...

We propose a high mobility superconductor gate nMOSFET using undoped Si as the substrate. We have studied superconducting NbN gate nMOSFETs fabricated on p-type Si, undoped Si and n-type Si substrate, respectively. The nMOSFETs on undoped Si and n-type Si have operated properly at 4.2 K. The transconductance of nMOSFETs on undoped Si substrate is higher than that of nMOSFET on p-type Si. The di...

Crystalline-Si (c-Si) solar cell with black Si (b-Si) layer at the rear was studied in order to develop c-Si solar cell with sub-band gap photovoltaic response. The b-Si was made by chemical etching. The c-Si solar cell with b-Si at the rear was found to perform far better than that of similar structure but with no b-Si at the rear, with the efficiency being increased relatively by 27.7%. This ...

Herein, we report the formation of multisegment Si-Ge axial heterostructure nanowires in a wet chemical synthetic approach. These nanowires are grown by the liquid injection of the respective silicon and germanium precursors into the vapor phase of an organic solvent in which a tin-coated stainless steel substrate is placed. The Si-Ge transition is obtained by sequential injection with the more...
