A Predictive Resistive RAM Compact Model with Synaptic Behavior for Circuit Simulations

Lee J.W., Hsu C.-H., Chiang M-H, National Cheng Kung University, TW

Artificial intelligence has come to its new era with the fast growth of machine learning algorithm. However, the conventional Von-Neumann architecture could consume excessive energy during the training process. At this moment, the memristor sheds [...]

Visible-Blind Ultraviolet Photodetectors Based on NiO/ZnO NRs with Poly-(N-vinylcarbazole) Intermediate Layer

Huang D-W, Lin H-P, Perng D-C, National Cheng Kung University, TW

Ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) have useful applications including flame detection, environmental monitoring, early missile threat warning systems, etc. UV PDs based on wide-band-gap materials, such as GaN and ZnO have a visible-blind advantage over silicon-based [...]

Huang J-S, Cheng F.Y., Tsai C.H., Shieh D.B., National Cheng Kung University, TW

The development of multifunctional nanocomplexs for drug delivery in oral cancer therapy Oral cancer has been denoted as the sixth most common cancer in the world. Chemotherapy is one of the major therapies for advanced [...]

Catalytic Decomposition of Methanol Effected by Cu-ZnO@C Nanoreactors

Hong C.-I., Peng C.-Y., Wei Y-L, Jou C.-J.G., Sun I.-W., Paul Wang H., National Cheng Kung University, TW

Decomposition of methanol (DM) to CO and H2 can be catalyzed by Cu-ZnO@C core-shell and Cu-ZnO○yC yolk-shell nanoreactors at 473-573 K. It is found that the reactivity of DM catalyzed by the nanoreactors increases with [...]

Effect of Temperature on Surface Degradation and Nanoparticle Release of Nano-SiO2 Epoxy Coatings under UV Radiation

Tien C.C., Chang A.C.-H., Liu B.H.-C., Sung L.P., National Cheng Kung University, US

To investigate the mechanisms of polymer degradation, polymer matrix, epoxy, with the addition of nanosilica (SiO2), was chosen. In this study an outdoor environment was simulated in the NIST (Nation Institute of Standards and Technology) [...]

Decomposition of Methanol Catalyzed by Cu-ZnO@C

Hong C.-I., Kang H.Y., Chang F-C, Paul Wang H., National Cheng Kung University, TW

Decomposition of methanol (DM) to CO and H2 can be catalyzed by Cu-ZnO@C core-shell nanoreactors. It is found that reactivity of DM catalyzed by the nanoreactors increase with an increase in the fractions of ZnO [...]
