Noise-induced resistive switching in a memristor based on ZrO2(Y)/Ta2O5 stack

2019

Resistive switching (RS) is studied in a memristor based on a ZrO2(Y)/Ta2O5 stack under a white Gaussian noise voltage signal. We have found that the memristor switches between the low resistance state and the high resistance state in a random telegraphic signal (RTS) mode. The effective potential profile of the memristor shows from two to three local minima and depends on the input noise parameters and the memristor operation. These observations indicate the multiplicative character of the noise on the dynamical behavior of the memristor, that is the noise perceived by the memristor depends on the state of the system and its electrical properties are influenced by the noise signal. The det…

Effects of steric encumbrance of iridium( iii ) complex core on performance of solution-processed organic light emitting diodes

2020

Iridium(iii) complexes are the most frequently applied commercialized green and red emitters for organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. Throughout years a significant research effort has been devoted to modify these compounds, in order to make them suitable for cost-effective solution-processing techniques, such as inkjet printing. To achieve this, the inherent tendency of the complex molecules to form poorly emissive aggregates needs to be suppressed. In many cases this has been achieved by an encapsulation of the iridium(iii) complex core with dendritic structures, composed of either passive or charge-transporting fragments. In order to validate this approach, we acquired three str…

Protein-membrane interaction probed by single plasmonic nanoparticles.

2008

We present a nanosized and addressable sensor platform based on membrane coated plasmonic particles and show unequivocally the covering with lipid bilayers as well as the subsequent detection of streptavidin binding to biotinylated lipids. The binding is detected on membrane covered gold nanorods by monitoring the spectral shift by fast single particle spectroscopy (fastSPS) on many particles in parallel. Our approach allows for local analysis of protein interaction with biological membranes as a function of the lateral composition of phase separated membranes.

Effects of illumination on the dielectric response of barium-strontium niobate ceramics

2013

A study of the effects of white light on the low and infra-low frequency relaxation of polarization in the barium-strontium niobate (SBN) ceramics is reported. The light is found considerably decreasing the contribution of space charge at temperatures corresponding to the range of the relaxor phase (it is, around the Tm).

2019

Electron diffraction tomography, a potential method for structure analysis of nanocrystals, and, in more detail, the strategies to use automated diffraction tomography (ADT) technique are described. Examples of ADT application are discussed according to the material class.

Bottom-Up, On-Surface-Synthesized Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons for Ultra-High-Power Micro-Supercapacitors

2020

Bottom-up-synthesized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with excellent electronic properties are promising materials for energy storage systems. Herein, we report bottom-up-synthesized GNR films employed as electrode materials for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs). The micro-device delivers an excellent volumetric capacitance and an ultra-high power density. The electrochemical performance of MSCs could be correlated with the charge carrier mobility within the differently employed GNRs, as determined by pump–probe terahertz spectroscopy studies.

Suspended single-electron transistors: Fabrication and measurement

2005

We have fabricated aluminum single-electron transistors in which the island is not in contact with the substrate. This new type of device, which can be called suspended single-electron transistor (SUSET), displayed well-defined I-V and dI/dV-V features typical for high-quality standard SET's.

Development of an Inductive NIS Thermometer

2012

We have studied an inductive readout for normal metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) tunnel junctions by using on-chip planar inductors and a DC SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) to develop a sensitive and fast thermometer for studies of nanoscale heat conduction and bolometry. Our initial results show the feasibility of the concept, with a good sensitivity for temperatures below 1 K for aluminum as the superconductor when voltage biased close to the superconductor energy gap. peerReviewed
