The growing awareness of climate change, and continuing concerns regarding tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry, will require future measurements and standards for compounds linked to these issues. To monitor and control the emissions of these species

Control of polarity in multilayer MoTe2 field-effect transistors by channel thickness

November 9, 2018
Author(s)
Albert Davydov, Mona Zaghloul, Sergiy Krylyuk, Ratan K. Debnath, Asha Rani, Kyle J. DiCamillo, Payam Taheri
In this study, electronic properties of field-effect transistors (FETs) fabricated from exfoliated MoTe2 single crystals are investigated as a function of channel thickness. The conductivity type in FETs gradually changes from n-type for thick MoTe2 layers

Using LZMA Compression for Spectrum Sensing with SDR Samples

November 9, 2018
Author(s)
Andre Rosete, Kenneth Baker, Yao Ma
Successful spectrum management requires reliable methods for determining whether communication signals are present in a spectrum portion of interest. The widely-used energy detection (ED), or radiometry method is only useful in determining whether a
