The Poisson equation is solved directly with a Dirac-delta function sheet charge at the heterojunction to obtain an analytical equation for the surface potential.

Thus, the results of this work for the first time make an explicit connection between the material properties of the HEMT heterostructure with a surface potential based compact model through the polarization sheet charge. Furthermore, the authors have extended the intrinsic model by including field-dependent mobility and velocity saturation.

The low-resistance, magneto-metallic neuron can operate at a small terminal voltage of ~20mV, while performing computation upon current-mode inputs. The spin-based neurons can be integrated with CMOS to realize ultra low-power data processing hardware, based on neural networks (NN), for different classes of applications like, cognitive computing, programmable Boolean/non-Boolean logic and analog and digital signal processing [1, 2]. In this work we present analog image acquisition and processing as an example.

[n order to implement stretchable electrodes, \"soft metal\" such as gold, silver, and copper has been widely used, but they showed relatively poor mechanical properties, especially in highly stretched cases. Therefore, metallic carbon nano tube (CNT) based materials have been considered the most adequate candidate in such conditions due to their excellent mechanical properties. In addition, relative easiness of controlling sensitivity of resistance change with applied strain is another advantage of the CNT based materials because their characteristics can be changed by various chemical treatment and structural changes.
