Effect of sintering germanium epilayers on dislocation dynamics: From theory to experimental observation

Abstract High-quality germanium epilayers on Si with low threading-dislocation density were achieved by sintering of porous Ge/Si films. The process consists in the formation of porous Ge nanostructures by …

Entropy reduces the lifetime of magnetic bits

Retaining stored information in magnetic materials relies on making energy barriers difficult to overcome. In a theoretical study, two researchers at C2N show that the resulting entropy can have the opposite effect. Their results challenge …
