Metallicity is a critical factor in determining a material's suitability for interconnect applications. In case of shrinkage in cross-sectional dimensions, interconnect performance is severely impacted. More than half of ...
The aggressive scaling of on-chip interconnects leads to a significant increase in coupling
capacitance. This causes crosstalk effects, especially for technology nodes at the end of the
roadmap. In addition, surface ...
Cutting fluids are generally used during the conventional turning process to provide lubrication and
flushing of chips from the cutting zone. However, cutting fluids cost around 16-20% of total production
cost apart from ...
The growth of crowdsourced knowledge-building portals such as Wikipedia, Quora, and
Stack Exchange has been explosive in recent years, as evidenced by the enormous amounts
of knowledge the portals currently possess. ...
The homogeneous Poisson process (HPP) is the most useful and popular counting process.
HPP is used for example to model the arrivals/departures in queuing theory, arrivals of
jumps in various jump-di usion models, number ...
Chemosensors are molecular systems that interact with particular target species to generate an analytically useful signal. For instance, the optical chemosensors interact with analytes resulting a change in optical properties ...
The phenomenon of evaporation-induced self-assembly inspires the co ee-ring phenomena,
in which a drying co ee droplet creates a ring-like pattern on the surface. On
the nano or microscale, the majority of surfaces, ...
Nuclear shell-model is a theoretical framework which has been extensively used for understanding
the nuclear structure properties. Its success mainly depends on the choice
of effective interaction. In recent years, ...
Discovering new materials is a key aspect of semiconductor physics for sustaining
the continuous progress and improvements in current electronic devices. The
discovery of the non-trivial topological phase was a deviation ...
The study of light-matter interactions is the most exciting and powerful technique
for expanding our understanding of atomic and light physics. The past many years
have further motivated this as applications for coherent ...
The quaternary semiconductor kesterite-structured Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) has been widely recognized as a potential light-absorbing material for thin-film solar cells. With all non-toxic and earth-abundant constituent elements, ...
Chalcogenide based quaternary compound: Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS), a Kesterite material, has been identified as a potential absorber for thin film solar cells. Salient features of CZTS such as, high absorption coefficient (>104 ...
Integrating nanophotonics structures with quantum emitters and deterministically controlling its emission dynamics has gained a promising demand in photonic-and quantum-technologies. This is possible owing to the excitation ...
A large variety of metalworking fluids, such as neat oils, oil-water emulsions, water based synthetic coolants, aerosols, etc., are commonly employed in the metal cutting industry to mitigate the severe tribological ...
Chapter 1: An Exordium to Oxygen Heterocycles and Reactivity of Cyclopropane
Monocarbonyls
Heterocycles irrespective of their class, circumscribe the major part of all bioactive
molecules like natural products, biomolecules, ...
A class of mappings, called relatively continuous, is introduced and incorporated to elicit
best proximity pair theorems for a non-self mapping in the setting of reflexive Banach space.
As a consequence we obtain a ...
Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E) is a testing and analyzing technique adopted for the inspection of materials without impairing their future usefulness and in-service applicability. NDT&E is also reckoned by ...
At the third edition of the Bangalore Literature Festival, the writer Dhruba
Hazarika from Assam claimed that most publishers prioritise printing those Northeast
Indian English novels which depict the ongoing armed ...
The central aim of the work presented in this thesis is to investigate the effect of Nb substitution by IVB, VB, and VIB elements of the periodic table, Al substitution by IIIA elements of the periodic table, and quaternary ...
Depth estimation is an important computer vision low-level information important
for tasks such as 3D reconstruction, augmented reality, image de-hazing, semantic segmentation,
object detection, human action recognition ...
