This randomness limits wafer-scale integration with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. In this study, we fabricated a reliable forming-free CBRAM cell consisting of a Pt capping layer, a Cu active source layer, a nitrogen-doped GeSe resistive switching layer, and a W bottom electrode. We compared the continuous resistive switching loops with and without nitrogen contents in the GeSe layer, demonstrating that the nitrogen-doped GeSe CBRAM cell improved electrical variation for the forming and set voltages to below 10%. Using this nitrogen-doped GeSe-based CBRAM cell, we achieved outstanding synaptic plasticity characteristics compared to un-doped GeSe-based CBRAM cells. Finally, we designed a small-scale deep neural network trained with a hardware-based backpropagation learning rule, achieving recognition accuracy of up to 95.57% on handwritten image datasets.

To overcome this crosstalk effect, we present two approaches: maintaining constant conductance of two quantum point contacts (QPCs) forming the QD by compensating the effect of the plunger gate voltage on the QPCs, and interpolating between gate voltage conditions optimized for QD observation at several electron numbers. These approaches minimize crosstalk effects by dynamically adjusting barrier gate voltages as a function of plunger gate voltage. Using these methods, we successfully observed Coulomb blockade peaks throughout the entire range from <i>N</i> = 1 to <i>N</i> ≈ 20.

Dosiomics features, such as shape characteristics, statistical properties, and texture metrics (e.g., GLCM, GLSZM), were extracted from RT Dose DICOM files of patients treated with TomoDirect on the Radixact X9 system. Regions of interest (ROI), such as the planning target volume (PTV), were used to isolate dose values for feature extraction. The DQA results were classified using gamma analysis (3%/3mm criteria), and statistical methods like correlation, group comparison, and regression analysis were applied to assess the relationship between these features and DQA outcomes. The analysis identified several key predictors of DQA success. Shape features, including surface area and object size, along with texture features like GLCM autocorrelation and GLDM high gray-level emphasis, showed significant correlations with DQA pass rates. The multivariate regression model explained 79.7% of the variance in DQA outcomes, emphasizing the potential of dosiomics features to predict DQA results. In addition, features related to dose uniformity and complexity, such as firstorder_10th Percentile and GLCM contrast, significantly impacted gamma pass rates. This study demonstrates that dosiomics can enhance the predictability of DQA outcomes in TomoDirect treatments. The identified features can support the development of predictive models to streamline DQA processes, improve treatment accuracy, and reduce manual verification efforts. Future research should explore integrating additional parameters and expanding these methods to other radiotherapy techniques and machines for broader applicability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"86 2","pages":"132 - 139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142995121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flux-limited observation of the continuum radiation from galaxies also has been studied extensively to show a dipole anisotropy due to the Doppler effect and the aberration effect. We show that a similar dipole anisotropy exists in spectral-line intensity maps, represented as either galaxy number counts or the diffuse intensity maps. The amplitude of these dipole anisotropies is determined by not only the solar velocity against the large-scale structures but also the temporal evolution of the monopole (sky-average) component. Measuring the dipole at multiple frequencies, which have mutually independent origins due to their occurrence from multiple redshifts, can provide a very accurate measure of the solar velocity thanks to the redundant information. We find that such a measurement can even constrain astrophysical parameters in the nearby universe. We explore the potential for dipole measurement of existing and upcoming surveys, and conclude that the spectral number count of galaxies through SPHEREx will be optimal for the first measurement of the dipole anisotropy in the spectral-line galaxy distribution. LIM surveys with reasonable accuracy are also found to be promising. We also discuss whether these experiments might reveal a peculiar nature of our local universe, that seems to call for a non-standard cosmology other than the simple <span>(Lambda)</span>CDM model as suggested by recent measures of the baryon acoustic oscillation signatures and the Alcock–Paczynski tests.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"86 2","pages":"145 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142994669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The n + Si nanomembrane was transfer printed onto the p + GaN layer, resulting in an n + Si/p + GaN TJ on top of the GaN epi-structure. The radiative recombination of electron–hole pairs was enhanced by the tunneling of carriers across the Si/GaN TJ into the InGaN/GaN multi-quantum wells. The improved hole injection was elucidated through the energy band diagram of the Si/GaN TJ. The increased number of injected holes in the stacked Si/GaN TJ LED leads to enhanced radiative recombination, resulting in greater output power and external quantum efficiency (EQE). Specifically, the light output power improved by 96% at 30 A/cm<sup>2</sup>, and the peak EQE increased by 36% due to the formation of the stacked Si/GaN TJ on the LED.
