Fabrication of titania-based memristive device using RF magnetron sputtering method / Aznilinda Zainuddin
Get PDFThe reported memristive device fabrication methods that offer precise deposition technique are expensive and include of multiple fabrication steps. It is also lack of exposition on how to improve the memristive behavior in terms of creating the oxygen vacancies in its active layer, and to relate the ionic mechanism to the I-V hysteresis loop. This work demonstrated a simple and effective process of memristive device fabrication using RF magnetron sputtering method. A study on the effect of different processes in fabricating titania active layer with lower oxygen content using three different methods which are plasma treatment, HF-etch and annealing process was carried out. This work also consists of a study on a few different fabrication structures and how the I-V hysteresis curve of each device structure can be explained in a number of mobile ionic movement mechanisms. The physical properties of the fabrication were analyzed using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) system embedded, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Surface Profiler (SP). The memristive behavior current-voltage (I-V) measurement was conducted using 2-Point Probe with a voltage sweep from 0 V to -5 V, -5 V to 5 V then back to 0 V and another voltage sweep from -5 V to 5 V then back to -5 V. From the work done, we managed to identify the best fabrication device structure that also exhibit

Ecobiocream: exploring the antimicrobial synergism between gelenggang leaves and red dragon fruit peel extracts in a novel antiseptic cream
No full textThis study focuses on developing a sustainable antiseptic cream by combining extracts from gelenggang leaves and red dragon fruit peel. The cream offers an alternative therapy to address the high cost of conventional drugs in developing countries and the rising issue of antimicrobial resistance, particularly against microorganisms like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Gelenggang leaves, traditionally used for skin ailments, and red dragon fruit peel, a commonly discarded waste rich in bioactive compounds, are repurposed to create an eco-friendly, plant-based solution. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed significant activity against Gram-positive bacteria and fungi, including MRSA and Candida albicans, though it showed limited efficacy against Gram-negative bacteria. This highlights the potential of plant extracts in combating antimicrobial resistance. The cream is practical, suitable for all skin types, and integrates effortlessly into daily skincare routines. Its reliance on repurposed fruit waste supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by reducing environmental impact and promoting waste reduction. Beyond antiseptic properties, the cream offers multifunctional benefits such as wound healing and anti-inflammatory effects. By presenting a safe, natural alternative to conventional antiseptics, the cream exemplifies innovative skincare that tackles health and environmental challenges while promoting responsible consumption and sustainability
