Abstract:
A resistive memory device includes a bottom electrode and a top electrode sandwiching a switching layer. The device also includes a field enhancement (FE) feature that extends from the bottom electrode either into the switching layer or is covered by switching layer and that is to enhance an electric field generated by the two electrodes to thereby confine a switching area of the device at the FE feature. The device further includes a planar interlayer dielectric surrounding the device, for supporting the top electrode. A method of making a resistive memory device, employing in-situ vacuum deposition of all layers, is also provided.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to polymeric amine synergists, photo curable inks containing the polymeric amine synergists, and methods of making the photo curable inks. A polymeric amine synergist can include an aminobenzene modified with a polyether chain connecting to the aminobenzene through an amide linkage.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to polymeric photo active agents, photo curable inks containing the polymeric photo active agents, and methods of making the photo curable inks. A polymeric photo active agent can include a xanthone analog modified with a polyether chain connecting to the xanthone analog through an amide linkage.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is drawn to polymeric photoactive agent compositions. The polymeric photoactive agent composition can include a polymeric photoactive agent including a xanthone analog modified with a polyether chain connecting to the xanthone analog through an ether linkage. The polymeric photoactive agent can be present in a reaction product mixture with either i) a xanthone analog modified with a hydroxyl group, or ii) a carbonate base.
Abstract:
According to an example, methods for forming three-dimensional (3-D) nano-particle assemblies may include depositing surface-enhanced spectroscopy (SES) elements onto respective tips of nano-fingers, in which the nano-fingers are arranged in sufficiently close proximities to each other to enable the tips of groups of adjacent ones of the nano-fingers to come into sufficiently close proximities to each other to enable the SES elements on the tips to be bonded together when the nano-fingers are partially collapsed. The methods also include causing the nano-fingers to partially collapse toward adjacent ones of the nano-fingers to cause a plurality of SES elements on respective groups of the nano-fingers to be in relatively close proximities to each other and form respective clusters of SES elements, introducing additional particles that are to attach onto the clusters of SES elements, and causing the clusters of SES elements to detach from the nano-fingers.
Abstract:
A scattering spectroscopy nanosensor includes a nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate to produce an optical scattering response signal indicative of a presence of an analyte when interrogated by an optical stimulus. The scattering spectroscopy nanosensor further includes a protective covering to cover and protect the nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate. The protective covering is to be selectably removed by exposure to an optical beam incident on the protective covering. The protective covering is to prevent the analyte from interacting with the nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate prior to being removed.
Abstract:
Surfactants are provided that have a hydrophobic tail portion and a hydrophilic head portion. The hydrophilic head portion includes a terminal dialkyl-substituted tertiary amine or a terminal cycloalkyl-substituted tertiary amine. Also provided are pigment-based inks employing the surfactant, a combination of an electronic display and the pigment-based inks, and a process for reducing conductivity in primary amine-based surfactants and improving reliability of electronic inks employing such surfactants.
Abstract:
Scattering spectroscopy employs a scattering spectroscopy enhancing structure having a hotspot on a first side of a substrate and a nanopore in the substrate, where the nanopore is aligned with the hotspot.
