Glass substrates are gaining attention as a structural alternative to organic build-up films/cores in advanced semiconductor ...

Abstract: A comprehensive study on fabrication of CoFeB–SiO2 films with large in-plane magnetic anisotropy for the use in high-frequency inductors in power electronics circuits was conducted. The ...

The role of the SiO2/SiC interface in SiC transistors, focusing on the lattice defects and chemical challenges that impact performance. The dominance of Si in electronics is largely due to its “native ...

Impact Statement: We demonstrate a YDH/SiO2 DBR with a reflectivity higher than 99.9% operating in the UV-C wavelength regime. With only 15 periods, the DBR exhibits a 50 nm wide stopband centered at ...

The experimental conditions were optimized for the synthesis of amorphous SiO2 particles by the reaction of neutralization of sodium silicate solution with H2SO4 solution. Amorphous SiO2 particles ...

Plasmonic metal nanostructures (e.g., Au, Cu, Pt, Ru) have attracted considerable attention in photothermal catalysis due to their unique capabilities in light-field regulation and energy conversion.

Subduction of oceanic lithosphere transports surface H2O into the mantle. Recent studies show that dense SiO2 in the form of stishovite, an abundant mineral in subducted oceanic crust at depths ...

A multi-institutional research team has clarified the energy levels of color centers at the SiO2/SiC interface, paving the way toward the development of scalable quantum technologies that use them as ...

A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted, focusing on epidemiological studies that assessed the association between silicosis or SiO2 exposure and CVDs. Specific cardiovascular diseases, ...

Researchers around the world are edging closer to a safe and effective vaccine to halt the COVID-19 pandemic, with more than 300 candidates in development. Once one or more vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 ...
