Nonvolatile memory devices based on ferroelectric HfxZr1-xO2 (HZO) show great promise for back-end integrable storage and for neuromorphic accelerators, but their adoption is held back by the inability to scale down the HZO thickness without violating the strict thermal restrictions of the Si CMOS back end of line. In this work, we overcome this challenge and demonstrate the use of nanosecond puls
Understanding the mechanisms governing interfacial charge transfer in photoactive layer is crucial for optimizing photogenerated charge separation efficiency. In this study, the interfacial charge transfer process is regulated by applying external electric field (Fext) and ternary hydrogen bonding strategies. We observe significant changes in the excited state properties and charge transfer parame
We present calculations on the formation of 258Rf in the reaction 50Ti+208Pb within the Langevin framework. The initital stage after contact of the colliding nuclei is dominated by a drift in the center-of-mass direction, while the subsequent process of forming a compound nucleus is diffusion dominated. The probability for the composite system to diffuse over the inner saddle is obtained by perfor
Background: Patients diagnosed with oesophageal and gastric cancer face a poor prognosis and numerous challenges of symptom management, lifestyle adjustments and complex treatment regimens. The multifaceted care needs and rapid disease progression reinforce the need for proactive and coherent health care. According to the national cancer strategy, providing coherent health care and palliative supp
Cardiovascular comorbidity is common in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and may significantly affect treatment tolerability and patient outcome. Still, there are no established biomarkers for objective and dynamic assessment as a tool for improved treatment decisions. We have investigated circulating levels of midregional-pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), midregional-proatrial-natriuretic peptide (MR-
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is offered to an increasing number of breast cancer (BC) patients, and comprehensive monitoring of treatment response is of utmost importance. Several imaging modalities are available to follow tumor response, although likely to provide different clinical information. We aimed to examine the association between early radiological response by three conventional imagi
Culturally oriented consumer research has predominantly been framed by two ideal types of reflexivity, which we characterize as existential and critical reflexiv-ity. Drawing from our research on divorced women who have been displaced from their domestically oriented, middle-class lifestyles, we develop an alternative con-ceptualization-reactive reflexivity-that highlights a different relationship
The paper present a parallel implementation of an image processing algorithm for the on-line, non-destructive quality assurance of the non-woven, fibrous web materials. The task of the algorithm is to compute the material microstructure descriptors. The premise underlying this work is that the microstructure determines the performance of the material and characterization of the microstructure may
Electronic health records (EHRs) are a rich source of information for medical research and public health monitoring. Information systems based on EHR data could also assist in patient care and hospital management. However, much of the data in EHRs is in the form of unstructured text, which is difficult to process for analysis. Natural language processing (NLP), a form of artificial intelligence, h
Over the past two decades, intensive research efforts have been devoted to suppressions of Auger recombination in metal-chalcogenide and perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) for the application of photovoltaics and light emitting devices (LEDs). Here, we have explored dodecahedron cesium lead bromide perovskite nanocrystals (DNCs), which show slower Auger recombination time compared to hexahedron nanocr
PurposeWe describe the design and implementation of the Malmö Breast ImaginG (M-BIG) database, which will support research projects investigating various aspects of current and future breast cancer screening programs. Specifically, M-BIG will provide clinical data to: 1. investigate the effect of breast cancer screening on breast cancer prognosis and mortality; 2. develop and validate the us
Metal-halide perovskites (MHPs) are promising as active optoelectronic materials for a diverse range of devices. Anion exchange is a post-growth modification of MHP materials that allows tuning of the band gap and crystal structure by exposure to alternative halides, normally using solution methods. Here, low temperature gas-phase anion exchange for the conversion of CsPbBr3 nanowires (NW) into Cs
Based on Marcus theory, the photoinduced electron transfer properties of D-A type non-fullerene acceptor organic solar cells (OSCs) under the dependence of external electric field (Fext) were investigated. The research results shown that the charge transfer mode under different Fext intensities changes with certain regularity. Focusing on the important parameters (ΔG, λ, and VDA) that affect the c
Understanding high-order biexciton dynamics is important for the use of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in optoelectronic devices. The core–shell structure can be used to modulate biexciton dynamics by varying the shell thickness and core–shell energy band alignment. In this study, the biexciton dynamics in an unconventional case in which each QD is encapsulated by a submonolayer shell are demons
Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) is a popular technique that can track ultrafast coherent and incoherent processes in real time. Since its development in the late 1990s, 2DES has become a powerful tool for investigating ultrafast dynamics in a range of systems, including nanomaterials and optoelectronic devices. This Primer explains the underlying physical principles of 2DES and how
Excited state dynamics of three iron(II) carbene complexes that serve as prototype Earth-abundant photosensitizers were investigated by ultrafast optical spectroscopy. Significant differences in the dynamics between the investigated complexes down to femtosecond time scales are used to characterize fundamental differences in the depopulation of triplet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (3MLCT) excit
Using Marcus theory, the electric-field-dependent charge-separation dynamics of non-fullerene acceptors D/A heterojunctions are simulated. On the D/A interface, the excited-state characteristics show obvious differences under different electric field intensities, providing microscopic details of the non-fullerene D/A interface at the atomic level. For different electric field conditions, so the ca
