Tungsten/Platinum Hybrid Nanowire Growth via Field Emission Using Nanorobotic Manipulation by Zhan Yang, Masahiro Nakajima, Yasuhito Ode, Toshio Fukuda

“…A multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was used as the emitter, and a tungsten probe was used as the anode at the counterposition, by way of nanomanipulation. By independently employing trimethylcyclopentadienyl platinum (CpPtMe3) and tungsten hexacarbonyl (W(CO)6) as precursors, the platinum nanowire grew on the tip of the MWCNT emitter. …”

Increased Threshold Voltage of Amorphous InGaZnO Thin-Film Transistors After Negative Bias Illumination Stress by Dongsheng Hong, Bing Zhang, Dongli Zhang, Mingxiang Wang, Rongxin Wang

“…Such a positive shift is absent when the gate bias or the illumination is independently applied. With the assistance of TCAD simulation, the positive shift of the transfer curve is attributed to the generation of acceptor-like trap states, which is proposed to be due to oxygen interstitials produced as a consequence of electron generation by the illumination, acceleration under the effect of negative gate bias, and breaking weakly bonded oxygen. …”
