We introduce a new technique to study the crystallization process in phase-change memory. By this technique, crystallization is characterized in the ON-state at extremely low currents, allowing to extend the time scale of crystallization times to more than two decades. To describe the pulse-induced crystallization in…

The free vibration of micro-beams is analyzed employing three different beam models. The previously obtained equations of motion for Bernoulli–Euler and Timoshenko models are solved analytically. A higher-order model is devised, which satisfies the lateral boundary conditions of micro-beams. The equations of motion wi…

Functionalization of a biomaterial surface with adhesive ligands is an effective way to promote specific cell adhesion. Ideally, biomaterial for applications in biomedical implants should simultaneously promote host cell adhesion and inhibit bacterial adhesion. Currently, little attention has been paid to the design o…
