High-speed and Nonvolatile Nano Electromechanical Memory incorporating Si Quantum Dots
No full textBasic device characteristics were investigated for a new high-speed and non-volatile nano electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) memory device with nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si) dots embedded in its movable floating gate beam.Over 1 GHz operation is possible due to the size reduction of the NEMS. From a simulation of mechanical properties of the movable floating gate beam, advantage of using the nc-Si dots array was shown for low power operation. The mechanical bistability of the fabricated SiO2 beam was clearly observed in both experimental and simulation studies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
