Fabrication of Specimens for Atom Probe Tomography using a Combined Gallium and Neon Focused Ion Beam Milling Approach

August 16, 2023
Author(s)
Frances Allen, Paul Blanchard, David Pappas, Russell Lake, Deying Xia, John Notte, Ruopeng Zhang, Andrew Minor, Norman A. Sanford
We demonstrate a new focused ion beam sample preparation method for atom probe tomography. The key aspect of the new method is that we use a neon ion beam for the final tip shaping after conventional annulus milling using gallium ions. This dual-ion

Evaluating the thermal performance of perovskite SrSnO3 field effect transistors

Andrei Kolmakov, Trey Diulus, Kurt D. Benkstein, Stephen Semancik, Majid Kazemian, Matteo Amati, Maya Kiskinova, Luca Gregoratti
With size reduction of active elements in microelectronics to tens of nanometers and below, the effect of surface and interface properties on overall device performance becomes crucial. High resolution spectroscopic and imaging techniques provide a

Impact of fin aspect ratio on enhancement of external quantum efficiency in single AlGaN fin light-emitting diodes pixels

June 26, 2023

Babak Nikoobakht, Yuqin Zong, Okan Koksal, Amit Agrawal, Christopher B. Montgomery, Jacob Leach, Michael Shur
Previously, we showed within a sub-micron fin shape heterojunction, as current density increases, the non-radiative Auger recombination saturates mediated by the extension of the depletion region into the fin, resulting in a droop-free behavior. In this

Superconformal Film Growth: From Smoothing Surfaces to Interconnect Technology

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are mixed M(II) and M(III) hydroxides with positively charged lamellar brucite layers and interlayered anions. LDHs attracted significant attention due to their anion and cation-exchange ability, adsorption capacity, and

Dynamic structural and microstructural responses of a metal organic framework type material to carbon dioxide under dual gas flow and supercritical conditions

February 1, 2023
Author(s)
Andrew J. Allen, Eric J. Cockayne, Winnie Wong-Ng, Jeffrey Culp, Ivan Kuzmenko
The structural and microstructural responses of a model metal-organic framework (MOF) material, Ni(3-Methy-4,4'-bipyridine)[Ni(CN)4] (Ni-BpyMe or PICNIC 21), to CO2 adsorption and desorption are reported for in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and

Multiscale Green's functions for modeling graphene and other Xenes

January 27, 2023
Author(s)
Vinod Tewary, Edward Garboczi
We give a review of the multiscale Green's function method for modeling modern two-dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene and other Xenes. The method is applicable to materials at different space and time scales and is computationally efficient. This

High-Resolution DNA Binding Kinetics Measurements with Double Gate FD-SOI Transistors
