Caledonian reactivation and reworking of Timanian thrust systems and implications for latest Mesoproterozoic to mid-Paleozoic tectonics and magmatism in northern Baltica [version 2... by Eirik Stokmo, Jean-Baptiste P. Koehl

“…Conclusions The Trollfjorden–Komagelva Fault Zone may continue offshore as a NE–SW-striking folded structure. This has the following implications: (1) the Seiland Igneous Province likely formed in a backarc setting, (2) metasedimentary rocks of the Kalak Nappe Complex deposited along the Baltican margin of the Iapetus Ocean, possibly in a late–post-Grenvillian collapse basin, (3) the Iapetus Ocean was much narrower than the several thousands of kilometers width commonly proposed, and (4) early Neoproterozoic magmatism in northern Norway is possibly related to the initial breakup of Rodinia.…”

Trench MOS Schottky Diodes: A Physics-Based Analytical Model Approach to Charge Sharing by Mohammed Tanvir Quddus, Alvaro D. Latorre-Rey, Zeinab Ramezani, Mihir Mudholkar

“…Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS) rectifiers offer superior static and dynamic electrical characteristics when compared with planar Schottky rectifiers for a given active die size. The unique structure of TMBS devices allows for efficient manipulation of the electric field, enabling higher doping concentrations in the drift region and thus achieving a lower forward voltage drop (VF) and reduced leakage current (IR) while maintaining high breakdown voltage (BV). …”
