In this paper, we examine the problem of the drift of the low-resistance state (LRS) in phase change memories based on C or N doped and undoped Ge-rich Ge2Sb2Te5. A novel procedure, named R-SET technique, is proposed to boost the SET speed of these innovative phase change materials by overcoming the decrease of crysta…

Flat textiles exhibiting good electric conduction are materials that find presently increasingly broad application. Electroconductive textiles belong to the group of bodies whose properties usually show flat and normal anisotropy. The paper sets out a new method for the assessment of the flat anisotropy of properties…

The loss of macroscopic polarisation in relaxor ferroelectric (Na0.8K0.2)½Bi½TiO3 ceramics doped with BiZn½Ti½O3 has been studied by electrical and structural methods. These indicate that the phenomena that are coupled in a displacive phase transition are not necessarily coupled in the depolarisation of Na½Bi½TiO3-bas…

Photochromic benzocyclophanediene showed oxidation-triggered isomerization to form benzodimethyldihydropyrene. The isomerization proceeded via an autocatalytic reaction system, which could be combined with the photochromic nature of the molecule to establish a new photoelectric signal conversion system.
