Abstract Optical properties of multiwall boron nitride nanotubes are investigated by means of luminescence and absorption spectroscopies. Cathodoluminescence imaging shows that boron nitride nanotubes are highly UV luminescent materials and that the luminescence is located all along the nanotube. In comparison with th…

Phase-change memory (PCM) reliability is affected by the crystallization of the amorphous chalcogenide material. To reduce measurement time, crystallization of the active material, usually a chalcogenide alloy, is generally studied at high temperature (T > 160degC), while data retention is to be predicted for lower te…
