Nitrogen-modified biomass-derived porous carbon for electric double layer capacitors application

Wang K., Gu Z., Fan Q., South Dakota State University, US

This work shows that N-doped carbon can be derived from pyrrole modified biomass-lignin. Simultaneous chemical and physical activation using potassium hydroxide during the heat treatment can effectively create porous N-doped carbon. The activated carbon possesses [...]

Boron Diffusion and Activation in Silicon in the Presence of Other Species

Li H-J., Kohli P., Ganguly S., Kirichenko T.A., Zeitzoff P., Torres K., Banerjee S., Univ. of Texas Austin, US

Modeling and experimental investigation of B equilibrium diffusivity and its activation in Si in the presence of other species, including ab initio calculations, are presented here. The results suggest that incorporating other species along with [...]

Atomistic Modeling of Arsenic Diffusion and Activation

Dunham S., Fastenko P., Qin Z., Henkelman G., University of Washington, US

Understanding the diffusion and activation of arsenic is critical for the formation of low resistance ultra-shallow junctions as required for nanoscale MOS devices. In this work, we combine the results of ab-initio calculations with continuum [...]
