First, various amorphous ternary oxides with fixed 1:1 at.% cation ratios were evaluated to isolate elemental effects; in the order Zn, Ga, In, and Sn, thickness retention improved while variations in carrier concentration (<i>n</i><sub>e</sub>) and Hall mobility (<i>µ</i><sub>Hall</sub>) decreased. Next, ternary oxide films with identical compositions were tuned by pre-annealing temperature to obtain crystalline or amorphous phase; the crystalline films exhibited enhanced etching and larger changes in <i>n</i><sub>e</sub> and <i>µ</i><sub>Hall</sub> that are consistent with grain boundary effects. Guided by these observations, amorphous In–Sn–Ga–O (ITGO) was benchmarked against conventional In–Ga–Zn–O (IGZO). The ITGO film maintained a thickness change below 1% with limited Hall variation after H<sub>2</sub> annealing at 600°C. By contrast, the IGZO film exhibited an abrupt increase in <i>n</i><sub>e</sub> exceeding three orders of magnitude after H<sub>2</sub> annealing at 500°C, then exhibited etching at 600°C. The application of ITGO in a field-effect transistor preserved switching characteristics after H<sub>2</sub> annealing up to 600°C, indicating its potential as a channel material for dynamic random-access memory compatible with high-temperature hydrogen thermal budgets.</p>","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"12 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aelm.70575","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148979607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Local spatial control enables engineered quantum interference for on‐chip devices, but substrates prevent both selective deformation and heat isolation, limiting the resolution of strain and thermal control of superconductivity. Here, we show that suspended provides a platform in which superconductivity can be controlled through both local strain and enhanced local thermal response. We realize suspended devices in which electrostatically induced deformation modulates the critical temperature by up to 0.92 K (12.5% of ) and enables gate‐tunable superconducting critical currents. We further demonstrate spatially selective superconducting responses and configurable hysteretic transport, including multistability and negative differential resistance. These phenomena are explained by first‐principles calculations of strain‐dependent electron–phonon coupling together with time‐dependent Ginzburg–Landau simulations coupled to thermal diffusion. Our work establishes suspended vdW superconductors as a platform for electrically tunable superconducting devices and for thermal engineering of vortex dynamics, enabling quantum simulation of interacting vortex systems through spatially controlled thermal landscapes.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"156 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149048844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work develops a device‐faithful sMTJ probabilistic‐bit (p‐bit) model—telegraph switching, a current‐tunable sigmoid response, and Poisson‐distributed dwell times—using literature‐grounded perpendicular‐anisotropy parameters. The p‐bits are integrated into a programmable crossbar whose per‐column accumulation realizes a probability‐domain expectation estimator: the multiply–accumulate is retained as the mean output, while the estimator variance, which scales as over a ‐sample window, provides a calibrated and irreducible measure of uncertainty. A closed‐loop drift self‐calibration scheme re‐biases each cell through a shared digital‐to‐analog converter, turning device volatility from a liability into a managed quantity. A circuit‐level analysis in 22 nm CMOS documents an energy efficiency of up to 869 TOPS/W under a clearly defined read‐phase operation, and an in‐array Monte–Carlo and Bayesian‐uncertainty benchmark quantifies the energy saved by harvesting free thermal entropy instead of CMOS stochastic‐number generators. The architecture is positioned as a sampling accelerator, distinct from stochastic‐computing arithmetic and from coupled Ising machines.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149048849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we demonstrate that spatially engineered anisotropy gradients provide a deterministic alternative. Using focused ‐ion irradiation, we pattern magnetic energy landscapes containing nanoscale “anisotropy wells” that confine magnetic domain walls and enable bidirectional sequential switching without reliance on difficult‐to‐control material disorder. An analytical framework describing domain‐wall energetics in graded anisotropy profiles yields predictive design rules for depinning and stability, which are supported by micromagnetic simulations and experiments. We realize programmable multi‐domain configurations in continuous ferromagnetic films and demonstrate robust, reproducible switching of 750 nm regions, while first results for 100 nm are shown, approaching the theoretical limit set by the domain‐wall width. By replacing unstable pinning with engineered energy landscapes, this anisotropy landscape establishes a scalable materials strategy for deterministic magnetic‐state programming and opens a pathway toward dense, energy‐efficient spintronic and reconfigurable magnetic nanodevices.","PeriodicalId":110,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Electronic Materials","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149021413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
