Multiscale Simulations of 2-D Material Ink-Based Printed Network Devices
No full textWe present a simulation study of printed transistors composed of networks of two-dimensional materials flakes based on a multiscale approach. Printed devices are modeled by generating flake distribution using a Monte Carlo method, performing ab initio density functional theory (DFT) and nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) calculations to obtain flake-to-flake mobility and finally computing transport in a three-dimensional drift-diffusion scheme coupled with the electrostatics by means of the Poisson equation. The method has been applied to MoS2 -based devices while investigating the impact of trap charges on the device performances as well as the mixing of MoS(2 )with graphene, a technological option currently experimentally investigated in the literature. We will show that the presence of traps is detrimental to the OFF current, which could be the main reason for the reduced current modulation observed in experiments. Mixing MoS2 with graphene can instead be considered as an option to optimize the ON and OFF current of the device
mixture as electrolytes for Li‐ion batteries: Infrared pump‐probe spectroscopic studies
No full textLithium-ion battery (LIB) electrolytes based on room-temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) are promising as safe and sustainable LIB electrolytes. However, there are no reports on the solvation structure and dynamics of RTIL due to the existence of various solvation species in RTIL. Here, we investigated the solvation structure and dynamics of binary mixtures of the phosphonium ionic liquid, tributyl(2-methoxyethyl)phosphonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (P444102TFSI), and methylthiocyanate (CH3SCN), with ultrafast mid-IR Spectroscopy. The changes of vibrational and rotational dynamics of CH3SCN center dot center dot center dot Li+ complex and free CH3SCN with an increase in CH3SCN concentration suggest the presence of at least four solvation species, providing superior resolving power for various solvation species existing in complex LIB electrolytes. Our experimental results show that the environment of free CH3SCN and CH3SCN center dot center dot center dot Li+ complex changes drastically with change in CH3SCN mole fraction and Li salt concentration in the mixture. We expect that this can affect the Li-ion transport mechanism in the IL-based electrolytes.11Nsciescopuskc
Effect of isotope substitution on the Fermi resonance and vibrational lifetime of unnatural amino acids modified with IR probe: A 2D-IR and pump-probe study of 4-azido-L-phenyl alanine
No full text© 2020 Author(s). The infrared (IR) probe often suffers from an unexpected complex absorption profile due to the Fermi resonance and short vibrational lifetime, which restricts the application of time-resolved IR spectroscopy to investigate the site-specific structural dynamics of the protein. Researchers have found that isotope substitution to the IR probe not only removes the Fermi resonance but also extends the dynamic observation window with a prolonged vibrational lifetime. This method has been successfully applied to modify the vibrational properties of many IR probes for time-resolved spectroscopy and imaging. In this study, the effect of isotope substitution (15N) on the vibrational properties of the azide stretching band in 4-azido-L-phenylalanine has been investigated using ultrafast pump-probe and 2D-IR spectroscopy. In contrast to the earlier reports, it has been observed that the Fermi resonance remains unchanged even after isotope substitution, and there is very little change in the vibrational relaxation dynamics as well. Anharmonic frequency analysis reveals that the α-N atom of N3 is being shared between the two transitions participating in the Fermi resonance and gets affected similarly due to isotope labeling. Hence, this study unveils the specific circumstance at which the isotope labeling strategy may not be successful in eliminating the Fermi resonance band and explains the molecular origin behind it. This study also suggests definitive approaches on how to overcome the limitations related to the Fermi resonance to extend the development and application of this IR probe for biological research11Nsciescopu
Simulation of Vertically Stacked 2-D Nanosheet FETs
No full textWe present a simulation study of vertically stacked 2-D nanosheet field-effect transistors (NSFETs). The aim of this investigation is to assess the performance and potential of FinFET alternatives, i.e., gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet FET at the ultimate nanosheet thickness, using 2-D materials (2DMs). In particular, our numerical study specifically explores the potential of multilayer vertically stacked GAA MoS2 FETs, considering different geometries and device parameters (e.g., number of stacked nanosheets, spacer dimensions, doping, and so on) with the aim of providing guidelines for obtaining high-performance devices. Sources of nonideality that have been considered are the effects of contact resistance and line-edge roughness (LER), which significantly affect the overall performance of NSFETs. Finally, circuit performance has been benchmarked by calculating the energy per switching and worst case delay of a 32-bit full adder circuit
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
