Since it was first demonstrated in 1987, magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has become a truly widespread and commonly used characterization technique that has been applied to a variety of research and industrial applications. Some of the main advantages of the method incl...

Plasma patterning processes play a key role in modern Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI) device fabrication. With further scaling of device dimensions, plasma process characteristics become more and more the limiting factor in pattern minimization, not least due to pa...

The Ti–35Nb–7Zr–5Ta (TNZT) alloy is a promising alloy because of its biocompatibility, high specific strength, and low Young’s modulus. This work aimed at investigating the viability to process the TNZT alloy by selective laser melting (SLM) and at optimizing the proces...

A new technique for contrast separation in wide-field magneto-optical Kerr microscopy is introduced. Utilizing the light from eight light emitting diodes, guided to the microscope by glass fibers and being switched synchronously with the camera exposure, domain images w...

We study the impact of Ga ion exposure on the local and non-local magnetotransport response in heterostructures of the ferrimagnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet and platinum. In particular, we cut the yttrium iron garnet layer in between two electrically separated wir...

International audience; Plasma Science and Technology offer their valuable contribution to human health since more than 50 years, after decades of experiences in the field of biomaterials; and more than a decade in using plasmas for therapeutic uses in medicine. Current...

Nitric oxide is a relatively stable free radical and an important signal molecule in plants, animals, and humans with high relevance for biological processes involving inflammatory processes, wound healing or cancer. The molecule can be detected in the gas phase of non-...

In this paper, the implication of an incremental pulse and verify (IPV) algorithm onto the Forming, Set, and Reset read current distributions is studied in terms of the intercell variability and the reliability of 4-kb RERAM arrays with a Ti/HfO2/Ti/TiN stack. It is sho...

The dissociation of CO2 in a geometrically symmetric dielectric barrier discharge has been analysed by means of numerical modelling. A time- and space-dependent fluid model has been used, taking into account the spatial variation of the plasma between the plane-parallel...

The effectiveness of ion beam planarization (IBP) to reduce surface roughness of diamond turned NiP surfaces was investigated. The surfaces with various spatial wavelengths and depths of turning marks were spray-coated and planarized with broad ion beam. The ion beam pl...
