In this paper, we report a detailed study of the negative capacitance field effect transistor (NCFET). We present the condition for the stabilization of the negative capacitance to achieve the voltage amplification across the active layer. The theory is based on Landau's theory of ferroelectrics combined with the surf…

In this article, we discuss the emission of visible light (400–900 nm) by a monolithically integrated silicon p-n junction under reverse bias. Silicon light emitting devices (Si-LEDs) could be designed and realized utilizing the standard complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Increased electrolumin…

Iron overload can increase cellular oxidative stress levels due to formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS); untreated, it can be extremely destructive to organs and fatal to patients. Since elevated oxidative stress levels are inherent to the condition in such patients, oxidation-induced degradable nanogels for iro…

A theoretical model of Gd/Fe multilayers is constructed using the atomistic spin dynamics formalism. By varying the thicknesses and number of layers we have shown that a strong dependence of the energy required for thermally induced magnetization switching (TIMS) is present; with a larger number of interfaces, lower e…

The oligomerization of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides into soluble non-fibrillar species plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. However, it has been challenging to characterize the tertiary and quaternary structures of Aβ peptides due to their disordered nature and high aggregation propensity. I…

Accumulation of Aluminium (Al) at concentrations far above 1,000 mg kg-1 in aboveground plant tissues of Arbor aluminosa (Symplocos) species is the main reason why traditional Indonesian weavers rely on their leaves and bark as a mordant for dyeing textile. Recently, Symplocos species have become a flagship species fo…

The aim of this work is to study the gas-phase hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of bio-oil-related platform molecules over precious metal catalysts (Pt and Pd on alumina) at moderate temperature (325 °C) and low pressure (0.5 MPa). Bio-oils consist of a complex mixture of compounds, many of which are aromatic oxygenates, and…

A novel photodetachable adhesive was prepared using a photodepolymerizable cross-linked poly(olefin sulfone). A mixture of a cross-linkable poly(olefin sulfone), a cross-linking reagent, and a photobase generator functioned as a thermosetting adhesive and exhibited high adhesive strength on quartz plates comparable to…

Abstract In recent years, 1 H NMR has been used to study epoxides in lipid oxidation and industrial processes, but the peak assignments reported for monoepoxides and diepoxides have been inconsistent. Lack of clear assignments for chemical shifts of epoxides derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) has also lim…
