Amorphous carbon films (ACFs) have recently emerged as one of the best candidates for etching-resistant hardmask materials in advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. Etching resistivity of ACFs is known to be improved by controlling the relative abundance between sp2 and sp3 bonds. We have investigated the relative abundance between sp2 and sp3 bonds in several ACFs, fabricated by plasma-enhanced

It is known that the lines of exciton (X) and exciton trapped by an ionized donor (D+,X) are often very close which makes very difficult their experimental identification. In order to facilitate their distinction in spherical quantum dots, we investigate the effect of an applied magnetic field studying the binding energy of the complex (D+,X) as function of dot size and the ionized donor position.

Despite significant advances in first-principles calculation methods, there is no single exchange-correlation functional which predicts the ground state of materials without an error yet. We investigated how accurately ground states of binary semiconductors are described using 16 exchange-correlation functionals (with or without van der Waals corrections).

Vortex domain walls (DWs) are characterized by their chirality, an important property that needs to be controlled for the use of such walls in potential technological applications. In this work we explore a wire-ring structure in which we have alternate hard and soft magnetic materials. Our results evidence that, depending on the materials, it is possible to control the DW chirality when it goes through

Topological charge analysis of dynamic process of transition to Néel-type skyrmion: Role of domain wall skyrmions Curr. Appl. Phys. (IF 2.281) Pub Date : 2020-11-05 Soong-Geun Je
Magnetic skyrmions are intriguing topological spin textures that promise future high-density spintronic devices. The creation of magnetic skyrmions has been understood based on the energetics of skyrmions, but the detailed dynamic process of the skyrmion creation remains unclear. Here topological evolution in conversion from uneven domains to Néel-skyrmions is investigated using micromagnetic simulations

In this work, the effect of Mg doping on the performance of PbS quantum dot (QD) solar cells (QDSCs) is investigated. To elucidate that, PbS QDSCs with pristine ZnO and Mg-doped ZnO (ZMO) as electron transporting layers (ETLs) are fabricated, respectively. The current density-voltage (J-V) measurements are performed. The results show that the cell efficiency of the device with ZMO as an ETL is 9.46%
