    Abstract: A complementary logic element including first and second transistor elements. The first and second gate electrodes of the two transistor elements are electrically parallel to form a common gate. Both the coupling layers of the first and the second transistor element include a resistance switching material, a conductivity of which may be altered by causing an ion concentration to alter if an electrical voltage signal of an appropriate polarity is applied. The first and second transistor elements also include an ion conductor layer that is capable of accepting ions from the coupling layer and of releasing ions into the coupling layer. The coupling layers and ion conductor layers are such that the application of an electrical signal of a given polarity to the gate enhances the electrical conductivity of the first coupling layer and diminishes the electrical conductivity of the second, or vice versa.

    Abstract: A programmable device including a source-drain-gate structure. The device includes two programming electrodes and an antiferromagnetic multiferroic material between the two programming electrodes for switching the spontaneous polarization between a first spontaneous polarization direction and a second spontaneous polarization direction. The programmable device further includes a ferromagnetic material, which is in immediate contact with the multiferroic material. Magnetization of the ferromagnetic material is switchable by a transition between the first switching state and the second switching state of the multiferroic material by an exchange coupling between electronic states of the multiferroic material and the ferromagnetic material. The programmable device also includes means for determining a direction of the magnetization of the ferromagnetic material. A spin valve effect is used for causing an electrical resistance between the source and the drain electrode.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical device with a defined total device stress, birefringence and optical polarization dependence is disclosed. The method comprises first providing a tower cladding layer of an amorphous material with a first refractive index and then providing above the lower cladding layer an upper cladding layer of an amorphous material with a second refractive index. An optical waveguide core comprising an amorphous material having a third refractive index (larger than the first refractive index and the second refractive index) is provided between the lower and the upper cladding layers. The upper cladding layer is thermally annealed by keeping the upper cladding layer at a first temperature, then raising the temperature to a second temperature, maintaining the second temperature for an annealing time period, and lowering the temperature to a third temperature, after which the temperature is lowered to a fourth temperature.

    Abstract: A multi-terminal programmable element. The programmable element includes a source electrode and a drain electrode on a base. The programmable element includes reference voltage contact that is not in contact with the source or drain electrode. The base includes a transition-metal oxide with oxygen vacancies for drifting under an applied electric field. Further, materials of the source electrode and the base are selected such that an interface of a source and/or drain electrode material and the transition metal oxide base material forms an energy barrier for electron injection from the electrode into the base material. The energy barrier has a height that depends on an oxygen vacancy concentration of the base material. Four non-volatile states are programmable into the programmable element.
