Voltage control magnetism is one of the most energy efficient pathway towards magnetoelectric (ME) device. Ionic liquid gating (ILG) method has already shown impressive manipulation power at the IL/electrode interface to influence the structure, orbital as well as spin of the electrode materials. As key material in anisotropy magnetoresistance sensor and spin valve heterostructure, the permalloy Ni0

Orthorhombic La0.7-xEuxCa0.3MnO3 samples (x = 0.04–0.12) with apparent density of ρ = 3.9–4.1 g/cm3 prepared by solid-state reactions have been studied. The analysis of temperature-dependent magnetization for an applied field H = 500 Oe indicated a decrease of the Curie temperature (TC) from about 225 K for x = 0.04 through 189 K for x = 0.08–146 K for x = 0.12. The magnetocaloric (MC) study upon analyzing

Ge-Sb-Te pseudo-binary compounds are known to be phase-change materials (PCM). Most of these chalcogenide compounds are candidate for future phase-change random access memory (PCRAM) applications since they show abrupt change on crystalline-amorphous phase-change process. For the use in next-generation applications, increase of retention properties and decrease of power needed for phase-change process

Accurate diagnose of a disease in the early stage is critical to treat the disease properly. To this end, a multitude of biosensors with advanced technologies have been developed to detect the number of biomolecules precisely. In this work, we propose a method for extracting the Stern layer capacitance (Cstern) using the experimental data of silicon nanowire ion-sensitive field-effect transistors (ISFETs)

A typical donor/accepter (D/A) interface made of fluorinated hexaazatrinaphthylene (HATANA-F6) and metal phthalocyanine (MPc) molecules has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy. Planar shape copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and non-planar titanyl phthalocyanine (TiOPc) molecules show contrast behavior of D/A interface charge transfer (CT), though the electron affinity of HATANA-F6 is smaller than

The antibacterial activity of gas discharge plasma has been studied for quiet some time. However, high biofilm inactivation activity of plasma was only recently reported. Studies indicate that the etching effect associated with plasmas generated represent an undesired effect, which may cause live bacteria relocation and thus contamination spreading. Meanwhile, the strong etching effects from these

Although avalanche amorphous selenium (a-Se) is a very promising photoconductor for a variety of imaging applications, it is currently restricted to applications with electron beam readout in vacuum pick-up tube called a High-gain Avalanche Rushing Photoconductor (HARP). The electron beam readout is compatible with high definition television (HDTV) applications, but for use in solid-state medical imaging
