Enhanced Resistive Switching Uniformity in Tantalum Oxide Memristor Devices via Copper Implantation

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Metal oxide memristor devices typically suffer from uncontrolled forming processes and limited resistive switching uniformity due to the stochastic formation of an oxygen vacancy filament. Improved resistive switching uniformity in Ta2O5 memristor is developed by Cu implantation in the switching oxide.

On the Optimal Choice of Strike Conventions in Exchange Option Pricing

open access: yesMathematics
An important but rarely-addressed option pricing question is how to choose appropriate strikes for implied volatility inputs when pricing more exotic multi-asset derivatives.

Estimation of Asymmetric Box-Cox Stochastic Volatility Models Using MCMC Simulation [PDF]

open access: yes
The stochastic volatility model enjoys great success in modeling the time-varying volatility of asset returns. There are several specifications for volatility including the most popular one which allows logarithmic volatility to follow an autoregressive ...

Regulation of Crystallization Kinetics via Zwitterionic Additive for Efficient and Operationally Stable Formamidinium Perovskite Solar Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a zwitterionic additive, Cl‐PPS, to regulate crystallization kinetics and passivate defects in formamidinium‐based perovskite solar cells. Cl‐PPS promotes direct α‐phase formation, minimizes necessary MACl loading, and induces highly crystalline, vertically oriented grains.

Block Structure Multivariate Stochastic Volatility Models

open access: yes
Most multivariate variance models suffer from a common problem, the “curse of dimensionalityâ€. For this reason, most are fitted under strong parametric restrictions that reduce the interpretation and flexibility of the models. Recently, the literature

Characteristic function estimation of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-based stochastic volatility models. [PDF]

open access: yes
Continuous-time stochastic volatility models are becoming increasingly popular in finance because of their flexibility in accommodating most stylized facts of financial time series.

Coping With Production Risk: Effects of Sown Plant Diversity on the Attractiveness of Crop Insurance in Grasslands

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increased frequency of extreme weather events, particularly droughts, threatens grassland farming by destabilizing yields and farms' economic viability. We examine, theoretically and through numerical simulations, how sown plant diversity (natural insurance) influences the attractiveness of indemnity and drought index insurance (formal ...

Quasi-Maximum Likelihood estimation of Stochastic Volatility models. [PDF]

open access: yes
Changes in variance or volatility over time can be modelled using stochastic volatility (SV) models. This approach is based on treating the volatility as an unobserved vatiable, the logarithm of which is modelled as a linear stochastic process, usually ...

Efficiency and Technology Gap in European Apple Production—A Metafrontier Model for Germany, Italy, and Poland

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT EU member states have exhibited varying rates of apple production growth. Technical efficiency (TE) estimation is suitable for identifying best‐practice farm performance. This study examined whether the development of the apple sector in Germany, Italy, and Poland was influenced by production efficiency, access to technology, as well as ...
