Electric Current Rectifying Device That Is Completely in Liquid State

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the development of electronic devices using non-conventional soft matter materials, as a novel alternative to traditional solid-state electronic devices. Traditional solid-state devices are often fragile and usually are made of non-biocompatible materials.

Novel Forms of Magnetic Anisotropy to Create a New Class of Permanent Magnets

 

Magnetic anisotropy is the key component in permanent magnets. This research focuses on creating a new type of magnetic anisotropy, leading to synthesis and measurement of two new ternary compounds.

Extracting Electronic Structure in Amorphous Oxide Semiconductors from Photoresponse

• Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOS) provide superior performance and lower cost for next generation displays. However, instability under illumination remains a critical issue.
