The blend is electrospun at varying applied voltage and collector distance. The morphology of these structures was optimized and controlled to obtain aligned fibers with Poly (Th-BT-Th) crystallites arranged perpendicular to the PEO nanofibers.

The flashes were observed to have a strong correlation with the backward pulses generated due to the onset of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in the laser. We believe these visible flashes appear as a result of second harmonic generation of higher order Raman Stokes components of the 1064nm laser signal. The Raman components are generated by the back-propagating, high peak power SBS pulses at threshold. The Raman Stokes in the core of the fiber generates their respective second harmonic counterparts in the cladding through a Cherenkov-type phase matching process.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"34 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85137278","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 recent years, many structures such as in-plane MTJ, perpendicular magnetic anisotropy MTJ (pMTJ), spin transfer torque MTJ (STT-MTJ), spin-orbit torque MTJ (SOTMTJ), and complementary MTJ (cMTJ) are reported. Different structures and behavior are subject to the choice of anisotropy, switching mechanism and/or geometry of MTJ. This paper presents a compact modeling of differential spin-orbit torque (DSOT) based MRAM. Two structures serial DSOT and parallel DSOT are presented. Compact modeling using VerilogA is presented and device performance is reported. The results show an improvement in write energy and delay by 50% and 3.2 times respectively as compared to the single ended SOT device. In addition, it illustrates that serial DSOT structure is more energy efficient than parallel DSOT. The SPICE-based DSOT model can be useful for many high-performance hybrid spintronics/CMOS applications.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"52 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90749219","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}

Most of the materials used to build photonic platforms exhibit nonlinear losses such as, multi-photon absorption, free-carrier absorption and free-carrier dispersion which can strongly affect the nonlinear characteristics of the devices viz. micro-resonators. In this work, we have developed analytical formulation to make quick estimation of the steady-state behavior, optical bistability, and self-pulsation phenomena in presence of nonlinear losses. Higher-order $(gt 3)$ characteristic polynomial of intra-cavity power describing the steady-state homogeneous solution of the modified Lugiato Lefever Equation are discussed in detail.

In simulation model, a buffer layer trap at $mathrm{E}_{C} -0.5$ eV, a barrier layer trap at $mathrm{E}_{C} -0.45$ eV, and self-heating effects are considered. The simulation results are validated with the measured data. The changes in the $mathrm{I}_{D}-mathrm{V}_{D}$ and $mathrm{I}_{D}-mathrm{V}_{G}$ characteristics at different trap concentrations $(10^{16}-10^{18}$ cm$^{-3})$ are predicted. The drain-lag turn-on transient simulations are performed to study the dynamic performance of the HEMTs. The self-heating effect on the drain current transient response is analyzed. To estimate the time constant of the trapping phenomena, transient characteristics are simulated by excluding self-heating effects. Similarly, the effect of trap density $(10^{16}-10^{18}$ cm$^{-3})$ on the transient response is reported and also transient characteristics are obtained at different trap energies $(mathrm{E}_{C} -0.1$ eV to $mathrm{E}_{C} -1.0$ eV).
