Using a torsion pendulum, the peculiarities of low-frequency shear elastic and anelastic properties of the improper ferroelastic crystal K 2 Ba(NO 2 ) 4 have been investigated for various crystallographic oriented samples at a temperature range in the vicinity of the phase transition point (T C = 420 K). The work gives insights into the nature of the internal friction and spontaneous torque arising in the samples at the Curie point.
We developed a low parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) and low dark current 2.8 μm global shutter pixel. We propose a new inner lens design concept to realize both low PLS and high quantum efficiency (QE). 1/PLS is 7700 and QE is 62% at a wavelength of 530 nm. We also propose a new storage-gate based memory node for low dark current. P-type implants and negative gate biasing are introduced to suppress dark current at the surface of the memory node. This memory node structure shows the world smallest dark current of 9.5 e−/s at 60 °C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
