Intrinsic or nucleation-driven switching: An insight from nanoscopic analysis of negative capacitance Hf1-xZrxO2-based structures

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Igor Stolichnov, Matteo Cavalieri, Carlotta Gastaldi

HfO2-based ferroelectrics have dramatically changed the application perspectives of polarization-switching materials for information processing and storage. Their CMOS compatibility and preservation of high reversible polarization down to a few nanometer t ...

Two Possible Scenarios for the Formation of Category 1 Bipolar Lightning Flashes

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Davide Pavanello, Qi Li

We present and discuss the current and electric field waveforms associated with two upward bipolar lightning flashes that occurred at the Säntis Tower. According to the traditional classification of bipolar flashes, both observed flashes could be classifie ...

Genuinely Ferroelectric Sub-1-Volt-Switchable Nanodomains in HfxZr(1-x)O2 Ultrathin Capacitors

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Igor Stolichnov, Enrico Colla, Matteo Cavalieri

The new class of fully silicon-compatible hafnia-based ferroelectrics with high switchable polarization and good endurance and thickness scalability shows a strong promise for new generations of logic and memory devices. Among other factors, their competit ...

Mitigation of modulation instability in Brillouin distributed fiber sensors by using orthogonal polarization pulses

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Mohammad Mehdi Alem Karladani, Javier Urricelqui Polvorinos

A technique based on the use of orthogonally-polarized pulses is proposed to mitigate the detrimental impact of modulation instability on Brillouin distributed fiber sensors. While the theoretical underpinnings of the method are described by introducing a ...
