Simulation Study on Single-Event Burnout Reliability of 900V 4H-SiC Quasi Vertical Double Diffused MOSFET by Jin-Ke Shi, Ying Wang, Xin-Xing Fei, Biao Sun, Yan-Xing Song, Yu-Qian Liu, Wei Zhang

“…Simulation results indicate that when heavy-ion with linear energy transfer (LET) of 0.5pC/<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu $ </tex-math></inline-formula>m strikes the device, the primary cause of SEB in the SiC T-QVDMOSFET is the high transient current density and electric field at the trench gate corner. This phenomenon leads to increased power dissipation, resulting in excessive temperatures that ultimately cause thermal failure. …”

Design of an equilibrative nucleoside transporter subtype 1 inhibitor for pain relief by Nicholas J. Wright, Yutaka Matsuoka, Hyeri Park, Wei He, Caroline G. Webster, Kenta Furutani, Justin G. Fedor, Aidan McGinnis, Yiquan Zhao, Ouyang Chen, Sangsu Bang, Ping Fan, Ivan Spasojevic, Jiyong Hong, Ru-Rong Ji, Seok-Yong Lee

“…We postulate that ENT1 inhibition may enhance extracellular adenosine levels, potentiating endogenous adenosine action at A1R and leading to analgesic effects. Here, we modify the ENT1 inhibitor dilazep based on its complex X-ray structure and show that this modified inhibitor reduces neuropathic and inflammatory pain in animal models while dilazep does not. …”
