Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry ...
Wafer breakage is the most serious impact of killer crystalline defects. About 0.1 to 0.2% of silicon wafers break. The ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Scientists have sought to leverage atomic defects to enhance electrocatalytic performance for clean energy applications. However, the inability to precisely study defects' ...
Detecting macro-defects early in the wafer processing flow is vital for yield and process improvement, and it is driving innovations in both inspection techniques and wafer test map analysis. At the ...
Emergence of anti-hyperuniform defect organization in active nematics. At high activity (left), topological defects are distributed nearly uniformly throughout the system. Reducing activity toward a ...
Strontium titanate is a material of considerable interest for electronic applications. A recent study revealed that strontium titanate (STO) annealed in strontium oxide (SrO) powder exhibits large ...
