We study the scattering properties of very small spheres made of a negative refractive index (NRI) using circuit network principles. The Lorenz-Mie theory is used to represent the transverse magnetic and transverse electric scattering coefficients based on resistor, inductor, and capacitor (RLC) ladder circuit models…

A series of oxygen deficient LuFe(2)O(4-δ) materials have been prepared under a controlled oxygen partial-pressure atmosphere. Measurements of magnetization reveal that the increase of oxygen deficiencies could evidently depress the ferrimagnetic phase transition temperature (T(N)). In additional to the well-known cha…

In this letter, we study the low-frequency noise behavior of RESET-state Phase-Change Memory (PCM) devices belonging to a 45-nm technology node. Furthermore, by dealing with a typical case study, we calculate the fluctuation of the cell readout current induced by$\hbox{1}/f$noise and provide predictions for estimating…

Nanostructured thin films of a mixed-valence, layered vanadium oxide were prepared using layer-by-layer deposition. The thin films were characterized by electronic (UV–vis) spectroscopy, quartz crystal microbalance, profilometry and scanning electron microscopy techniques. The highest charge capacity was obtained for…

A new scaling formalism is used to analyze nonlinear I-V data in the vicinity of metal-insulator transitions (MIT) in five manganite systems. An exponent, called the nonlinearity exponent, and an onset field for nonlinearity, both characteristic of the system under study, are obtained from the analysis. The onset fiel…

The preparation of monodisperse nanoparticles with uniform size, shape and composition has been intensively pursed because of their scientific and technological interests [1-4]. The major advantage of monodisperse particles may be attributed to the uniform properties of individual particles, which makes the property o…

In this work we investigate the magnetic field dependence of A(g) octahedra rotation (tilt) and B(2g) symmetric stretching modes frequencies at different temperatures. Our field-dependent Raman investigation at 10 K is interpreted by an ionic displacive nature of the magnetically-induced ferroelectric phase transition…
