This document summarizes a presentation given by Alexander A. Balandin on monitoring and controlling charge-density-waves in 2D materials. Balandin discusses the background of charge-density waves and how they have been studied in bulk quasi-1D materials. More recently, there has been interest in quasi-2D CDW films of materials like 1T-TaS2. Balandin's group has fabricated thin film devices of 1T-TaS2 and studied their properties, such as observing room temperature oscillation in integrated 1T-TaS2-hBN-graphene devices. Electronic low-frequency noise is a sensitive probe for studying CDWs, and Balandin's group has observed unusual

Typically, 2D free-standing crystals exhibit different properties from those of 3D counterparts. In this work, 2D nanosheets of Ti3C2 are synthesized by the room temperature exfoliation of Ti3AlC2 in hydrofluoric acid. Al is extracted from Ti3AlC2 and a new 2D material that we call MXene is formed to emphasize its graphene-like morphology. The treated powders can be used in the fabrication of Li-ion batteries and capacitors. A NSEM image of the treated powder shows the influence of HF treatment on the basal planes. Furthermore, XRD results shows the broadening of the peaks and loss of diffraction signal in the out-of-plane direction owing to exfoliation.

Jay amrit kapitza resistance at niobiumsuperfluid he interfacesthinfilmsworkshop
Heat removal from SRF cavity walls to superfluid (HeII) plays a decisive on the thermo-magnetic stability and therefore on the performance of these cavities. The two main parameters are the thermal conductivity of Niobium and the thermal boundary resistance (Kapitza resistance) at the Niobium/superfluid He interface. Here we shall focus mainly on the Kapitza resistance .Theoretical models shall be present to demonstrate that the Kapitza resistance is anomalous at the Niobium/HeII interface, justifying the empirical experimental approach. Various sets of data shall be presented for polycrystalline and single crystal Niobium having different surface morphologies and bulk purities. The impact of surface impurities and dislocations on the Kapitza resistance shall be discussed. New analysis shall be present showing an intrinsic limit to the Kapitza resistance due to interactions between phonons (heat carriers) in He-II and the nanoscale surface roughness of Niobium surface. Potential future experiments shall be proposed.
Resonant-tunneling-diode effect in Si-based double-barrier structure sputtere...IJRES Journal
This paper presents the resonant-tunneling-diode (RTD) effect in a SiO2/n-Si/SiO2/p-Si double-barrier structural thin films fabricated using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering at room temperature (300 K). The implementation of a circuit prototype is first accomplished by modulating a Si-based RTD with a solar-cell bias voltage. The important electrical properties of the peak current density and peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) are 184 nA/cm2 and 1.67, respectively. The connection between the two RTDs in series is biased by a solar cell. The value of the switching transition time is 24.37 μs; oscillation occurs with an operating frequency of 41.6 KHz. In semiconductor applications, the developed RTD is characterized by stability, enduring environmentally elevated temperature and relative humidity.

The threshold switching effect is prominent from 78 K to 320 K. The blues arrows indicate the voltage sweep
direction for the measurement at 78 K. For all the other temperatures, VH is always higher than VL. The switching is
prominent up to 320 K, and becomes less pronounced as the temperature approaches the NC-CDW–IC-CDW
transition at 350 K. As shown in the inset, at 345 K (red curve), the switching is still measurable. As T exceeds 350
K, the IV becomes linear.

assuming that f is proportional to the

where Λ is the characteristic
