Oxygen vacancy (V<sub>o</sub>), which is the most frequently observed intrinsic defect in HfO<sub>2</sub>-based films, determines the physical/electrical properties and device performance. V<sub>o</sub> influences the polymorphism and the resulting ferroelectric properties of HfO<sub>2</sub>. Moreover, the switching speed and endurance of ferroelectric memories are strongly correlated to the V<sub>o</sub> concentration and redistribution. They also strongly influence the device-to-device and cycle-to-cycle variability of integrated circuits based on ferroelectric memories. The concentration, migration, and agglomeration of V<sub>o</sub> form the main mechanism behind the RS behavior observed in HfO<sub>2</sub>, suggesting that the device performance and reliability in terms of the operating voltage, switching speed, on/off ratio, analog conductance modulation, endurance, and retention are sensitive to V<sub>o</sub>. Therefore, the mechanism of V<sub>o</sub> formation and its effects on the chemical, physical, and electrical properties in ferroelectric and RS HfO<sub>2</sub> should be understood. This study comprehensively reviews the literature on V<sub>o</sub> in HfO<sub>2</sub> from the formation and influencing mechanism to material properties and device performance. This review contributes to the synergetic advances of current knowledge and technology in emerging HfO<sub>2</sub>-based semiconductor devices.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":712,"journal":{"name":"Nano Convergence","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://nanoconvergencejournal.springeropen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s40580-023-00403-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138457045","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}

This is because the quenching rate of the local melting zone is several orders of magnitude higher than the critical cooling rate for MG formation. Thus the amorphous structure is sustained. This mechanism increases the highest temperature at which irradiated MG sustains amorphous phase. More interestingly, if an irradiated MG is pre-annealed to form a polycrystalline structure, ion irradiation can locally convert this crystalline phase to an amorphous phase if the grains are nanometers in size and comparable to the damage cascade volume size. Combining pre-annealing and site selective ion irradiation, patterned crystalline-amorphous heterogeneous structures have been fabricated.

In this work, a bioink system based on anti-bacterial zinc oxide tetrapods (t-ZnO) and biocompatible sodium alginate is presented.

Open porous and closed cell printed wound dressings were tested for their cell and skin compatibility and anti-bacterial properties. In these categories, the open porous constructs exhibited protruding t-ZnO arms and proved to be anti-bacterial.

Recombinant angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) was used as host receptors of SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, and the direction of enzyme active site for virus attachment could be controlled by the integration with liposome.
