However, degradation of MOSFETs, which have oxynitrides as gate dielectric, caused by trapping of hot electrons from the channel, is still found.","PeriodicalId":365405,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Solid State Crystals","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133229218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structural phase transition (SPT) as a result of the CJTE is unique one among large number of various SPT in solids. In the alkali-dysprosium double tungstates ADy(WO4)2 in spite of monoclinic symmetry the SPT of CJTE types are realized because the presence of Dy3+ ions with closely spaced energy levels. In alkali-dysprosium double tungstates the magnetically ordered structures possessing a number of features connected with low- dimensional interactions of Dy3+ ions were observed. Studies of specific heat in magnetic field and of magnetic susceptibility led to conclusion that the magnetic phase transitions (MPT) from paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic state take place at subkelvin temperature region. Both MPT and SPT are very sensitive to magnetic field. In case of SPT this confirms its CJTE nature and allows to determine the type of the elastic ordering. The external magnetic field induced the transitions from antiferro- to ferromagnetic states. The alkali-dysprosium double tungstates belong to the more general class of magneto-elastics with interrelation between magnetic and elastic ordering.","PeriodicalId":365405,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Solid State Crystals","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131506373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, semiconducting chalcogenide As40Te60-xInx glasses have been prepared by melt quenching technique. The current-voltage and electrical switching behavior of these glasses have been studied using a custom-built PC based system. The results obtained clearly indicate that all the glasses studied exhibit current controlled negative resistance behavior, which leads to the low resistance state. The switching to the low resistance estate is found to be reversible and the samples revert back to the high resistance state on reducing the current. Threshold switching over such a wide range of compositions has been observed only in very few systems so far. The most interesting outcome of the present studies is the variation of the switching voltage with composition. It is observed that there is an increase in the switching voltage Vt with the increase in indium concentration in the composition range 7.5 <EQ x <EQ 12.5. Further, the composition dependence of switching field is found to exhibit a distinct change in slope at x equals 12.5 and Vt continues to increase with x until x equals 13.5. Around x equals 13.5, the trend is reversed and Vt starts decreasing with x. A minimum in Vt is seen around the composition x equals 14.3, which corresponds to the chemical threshold of the As-Te-In system. Beyond x equals 14.3, switching voltage is found to increase with composition again. The present result are consistent with earlier observations, which indicate the composition dependence of switching voltages of chalcogenide glasses are influenced by chemical ordering and rigidity percolation.","PeriodicalId":365405,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Solid State Crystals","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133794913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequently, the crystals were irradiated by fast neutrons at approximately 50 degrees C. One of the main defects form is VO pair usually identified in the IR spectra by the 830 cm-1 localized vibrational model (LVM) band. Upon annealing, this defect is converted to the VO2 defect responsible for a LVM band at 887 cm-1. The purpose of this work is to study the effect of various combinations of HTHP treatment prior to irradiation on the annealing behavior of the VO defect and particularly on its conversion to the VO2 defect. We have concluded that the conversion of VO to VO2 depend on the forms of oxygen impurity and on other defects created in the sample after the HTHP treatment, as for example dislocations and stacking faults.","PeriodicalId":365405,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Solid State Crystals","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128359560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
