Compensation of the Stress Gradient in Physical Vapor Deposited Al1−xScxN Films for Microelectromechanical Systems with Low Out-of-Plane Bending

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
Thin film through-thickness stress gradients produce out-of-plane bending in released microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) structures. We study the stress and stress gradient of Al0.68Sc0.32N thin films deposited directly on Si.

Retractions in Rheumatology: Trends, Causes, and Implications for Research Integrity

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to describe the trends and main reasons for study retraction in rheumatology literature. Methods We reviewed the Retraction Watch database to identify retracted articles in rheumatology. We recorded the main study characteristics, authors’ countries, reasons for retraction, time from publication to retraction, and trends over time ...

Understanding the light induced hydrophilicity of metal-oxide thin films

open access: yesNature Communications
Photocatalytic effects resulting in water splitting, reduction of carbon dioxide to fuels using solar energy, decomposition of organic compounds, and light-induced hydrophilicity observed on surfaces of various metal oxides (MOx), all rely on the same ...

Effects of Causal Beliefs About Gout on Public Views About Gout Management: A Randomized Experimental Study

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Despite well‐described biologic causes, the public views unhealthy lifestyle choices as the primary cause of gout. This study investigated how causal beliefs about gout influence the public's views about its management. Methods In a randomized study, 201 members of the public viewed one of two 2‐minute videos about gout.

Nonequilibrium Nitrogen Spike Annealing for Crystallization Enhancement Achieves High Mobility and Reliability in IGO TFTs

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials
Poly‐crystallized In‐Ga‐O (IGO) semiconductor has the potential for application in high‐density memory and back end of line (BEOL) integration with CPU. Since the development of In2O3‐based multi‐cation oxides, i.e., IGZO, such material is very difficult

Characterization of Defect Distribution in an Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg as a Function of Processing Parameters and Correlations with Extreme Value Statistics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for
