Metal/oxide interface is a fundamental component in many devices such as magnetic sensors, piezoelectric transducers, and capacitors. The electrical properties of metal/oxide heterostructures are determined by the type of contact formed at the interface, i.e. Schottky or Ohmic contact. As devices are becoming smaller in size, interfaces are becoming even more important due to an increase in the surface to volume ratio. The metal/oxide ...
In this doctorate, the possibilities of 3D anthropometry for product development were explored by applying a statistical shape model of the human scalp to the design of more ergonomic brain-computer interface (BCI) headsets. First, a statistical shape model of the human scalp was created from a set of 100 MRI scans. This model was parametrized by intuitive anthropometric measurements and evaluated in terms of its ability to predict complete ...
With the size of modern electronic devices reduced to a few nanometer scale, their electronic performance is largely determined by the properties of surfaces or interfaces. In particular, this concerns the interface energy barriers that essentially control electron transport properties of heterogeneous material systems. Thus, the ability to control and design the barrier heights represents an important milestone along the path to desired ...
