Abstract
Advanced electronic materials have attracted great interest for their potential use in flexible, large-area, and printable electronic applications. However, fabricating high-performance low-voltage thin-film transistors (TFTs) for those applications with these advanced semiconductors is still challenging because of a lack of dielectric materials which satisfy both the required electrical and physical.....

Abstract
Radiation causes damage to the human body, the environment, and electronic equipment. Shielding against neutron and gamma rays is particularly difficult because of their strong ability to penetrate materials. Conventional gamma ray shields are typically made of materials containing Pb. However, they pose problems in that Pb is a heavy..... More

Abstract
Among several candidates for nanoenergetic materials and systems, nanoscale reactive multilayer foils (NRMF) or bimetallic nano-laminates are highly promising candidates. They provide the highly desirable pyrotechnical properties of high energy density and reaction sensitivity as well as flexible tunability. They could be useful in various fields of explosive and propellant..... More

Abstract
The near-infrared (NIR) reflecting properties of TiO₂ /Ag /TiO₂ (TAT) multilayers deposited using DC/RF magnetron sputtering were investigated. For high transmittance and reflectance in the visible and NIR ranges, respectively, the thickness of each layer was theoretically optimized by the index matching method. As the Ag layer thickness increased, the..... More
