Fast-Read Storage Performance by Thyristor Operation in 3-D Flash Memory by Tomoya Sanuki, Hideto Horii, Takashi Maeda

“…In order to evaluate the advantages of thyristor operation in 3D flash memory further, we report for the first time the several cell characteristics and reliability issues of thyristor operation required for the actual usage of storage products. (1) We demonstrate excellent cell characteristics of a wide programmed Vth window and sufficient program slope values in thyristor operation, which are indispensable for realizing multi-level cells. (2) Cell characteristics of thyristor operation exhibit hysteresis when sweeping in the WL direction but not in the bit line (BL) direction, which is essential for determining the read operating waveform. (3) Our proposed new WL biasing scheme to suppress the cell-to-cell interference effect is described with a more detailed dependence on adjacent cells and its effect on the on-current. …”

Magnetic susceptibility components reveal different aspects of neurodegeneration in alpha-synucleinopathies by Oliver C. Kiersnowski, Pietro Mattioli, Lucia Argenti, Laura Avanzino, Francesco Calizzano, Andrea Diociasi, Laura Falcitano, Chunlei Liu, Mattia Losa, Federico Massa, Silvia Morbelli, Beatrice Orso, Elisa Pelosin, Stefano Raffa, Matteo Pardini, Dario Arnaldi, Luca Roccatagliata, Mauro Costagli

“…Abstract Nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration in alpha-synucleinopathies is indirectly reflected by low dopamine transporter (DaT) uptake through [123I]FP-CIT-SPECT. Bulk magnetic susceptibility ( $$\chi$$ ) in the substantia nigra, from MRI-based quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), is a potential biomarker of nigrostriatal degeneration, however, QSM cannot disentangle paramagnetic (e.g. iron) and diamagnetic (e.g. myelin) sources. …”
