A dual-functional Ta/TaOx/Ru device with both nonlinear selector and resistive switching behaviors

“…The memristors based on Ta/TaO x system shows excellent electrical characteristics, such as high endurance (more than 10 11 ), fast speed (10 ns), low switching energy (sub 110 nJ), analogue switching. [25][26][27][28] And the non-linear selector devices based on TaO x have been reported before. [29][30][31] However, a single device based on Ta/TaO x system with coexistence of stable resistive switching and uniform non-linear selection has not yet been reported and a clear physical explanation of this mechanism is still lacking.…”

Quantum Dots: A Review from Concept to Clinic

“…Among different types of QDs, ZnO, CdTe, CdSe/ZnS, ZnO@polymer, ZnO, Au@polymer, Fe 3 O 4 @ZnO:Er 3+ , and Yb 3+ @(𝛽-CD) have been used in drug delivery applications, while some of them including CdTe, Cu + -doped CdS, CdTe/CdSe, CdSe/CdS, CdS/ZnS, CdSe/ZnS, CdTe/ZnTe, CdTe/CdSe/ZnSe, CdTeSe/CdZnS, and Gd-doped ZnO are found to be beneficial in biological imaging applications (e.g., human hepatic, ovarian, gastric, oral epidermoid, breast, cervix, lung, and pancreatic carcinomas). [23] Several types of QDs, such as CdSeS, CdTe/ZnTe, CdTe, InP/ZnS, CdSe/ZnS, CdSe, and CdS, are currently available commercially. [17] The conventional types of QDs (core nanocrystals) comprise two distinct parts, including a heavy metal core and a wide bandgap semiconductor shell.…”
