Inherent stochasticity during insulator–metal transition in VO 2

Vanadium dioxide (VO 2 ), which exhibits a near-room-temperature insulator–metal transition, has great potential in applications of neuromorphic computing devices. Although its volatile switching property, which could emulate neuron spiking, has been studied widely, nanoscale studies of the structural stochasticity across the phase transition are still lacking. In this study, using in situ transmission electron microscopy and ex situ resistive switching measurement, we successfully characterized the structural phase transition between monoclinic and rutile VO 2 at local areas in planar VO 2 /TiO 2 device configuration under external biasing. After each resistive switching, different VO 2 monoclinic crystal orientations are observed, forming different equilibrium states. We have evaluated a statistical cycle-to-cycle variation, demonstrated a stochastic nature of the volatile resistive switching, and presented an approach to study in-plane structural anisotropy. Furthermore, our microscopic studies move a big step forward toward understanding the volatile switching mechanisms and the related applications of VO 2 as the key material of neuromorphic computing.

Tensile properties to 650 C and deformation structures in a precipitation strengthened titanium-aluminum alloy

Appreciable strength levels were retained to 650 C in a Ti-10Al-1Si alloy aged in the (alpha + alpha sub 2) phase field to yield optimum room temperature strength and ductility. The aging treatment precipitated a uniform distribution of alpha sub 2-particles such that, at room temperature, dislocations bypassed instead of shearing the particles at low strains. Specimens fractured at room temperature exhibited fine uniform dimples even for those aging conditions that imparted no macroscopic ductility. The main crack appeared to propagate through the planar slip bands that had cut through the alpha sub 2-particles. A two-step aging process produced a higher volume fraction of bimodally distributed alpha sub 2-particles that led to higher strength levels at elevated temperatures. Both for the single size and the bimodal alpha sub 2-particle distributions, elevated-temperature deformation structures consisted mainly of planar slip bands that sheared through the alpha sub 2-particles.

Multi-layering of SU-8 exhibits distinct geometrical transitions from circular to planarized profiles

The negative tone photoresist SU-8 permits the creation of micrometer-scale structures by optical lithography. It is also the most used photoresist in soft lithography for the fast-prototyping of microfluidic devices. Despite its importance, the effect of capillary forces on SU-8 multi-layering onto topographical features has not been thoroughly studied. In particular, the profile of the added layer has not been examined in detail. The overlaying process exhibits a set of distinct behaviors, or regimes, depending on the relative thickness of the overlay and the underlying rectangular pattern. We demonstrate how capillary effects control the profile of multi-layer microchannels in a predictable manner. We derive a simple static model to describe the evolution of the overlay as a function of dimensionless geometric parameters. Our study provides a critical understanding of the parameters that govern multi-layer spin coating.
