Because of the electrical insulating properties of polyimide, it is widely used in the packaging of semiconductor chips. However, it has been documented that the electrical resistivity can be decreased by several orders ...

Laser-assisted metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) was used to grow crystalline zinc sulfide at temperatures as low as 200$\sp\circ$C. The metalorganic sources, dimethylzinc and diethylsulfide, were photodissociated ...

The objective of this study is development of prediction methods for characterizing the electrical behavior of ring type central pattern generators (CPGs). A mathematical model of the prototypical bursting neuron R15 from ...

Various aspects of the interaction of excimer laser pulses and polyimide were investigated, focusing on low fluences where laser induced electrical conductivity is observed. Multiple shot excimer ablation of polyimide was ...

Mathematical models of two Aplysia neurons simulate salient features of the electrical and chemical activity of these neurons. First, the endogenous burster R15 was modeled as a Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) type membrane equivalent ...

Earlier work revealed that the transverse thermal conductivity of thin films of amorphous SiO$\sb2$ and $\rm Si\sb3N\sb4$ deposited on monocrystalline silicon decreased substantially when the film thickness was less than ...

The ideal magnetic switching mechanism for magnetic recording is isolated domain coherent rotation. However, in typical Pd/Co and Pt/Co multilayers with high coercivity, the dominant switching mechanism is domain wall ...
