Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and electrical characterisation of Titanium and Nickel silicide contacts on Silicon carbide
TL;DR: In this article, the interfacial reaction and phase formation as a function of the annealing temperature (600-1000°C) and time were investigated on both titanium and nickel thin films evaporated on n-type 6H-SiC (0001) substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strongly enhanced light trapping in a two-dimensional silicon nanowire random fractal array.
Barbara Fazio,Pietro Artoni,Maria Antonia Iatì,Cristiano D’Andrea,Maria Josè Lo Faro,Salvatore Del Sorbo,S. Pirotta,Pietro Giuseppe Gucciardi,Paolo Musumeci,Cirino Vasi,Rosalba Saija,Matteo Galli,Francesco Priolo,Francesco Priolo,Alessia Irrera +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the random fractal structure of the nanowire array is responsible for a strong in-plane multiple scattering, which is related to the material refractive index fluctuations and leads to a greatly enhanced Raman scattering and a bright photoluminescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly reproducible ideal SiC Schottky rectifiers: effects of surface preparation and thermal annealing on the Ni/6H-SiC barrier height
Fabrizio Roccaforte,F. La Via,Vito Raineri,Paolo Musumeci,Lucia Calcagno,Guglielmo G. Condorelli +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of surface preparation and thermal annealing on the Ni/6H-SiC Schottky barrier height were studied by monitoring the forward I-V characteristics of Schotty diodes, and the ideality factor n and the barrier height ΦB were found strongly dependent on the impurity species present at the metal/SiC interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of extracellular vesicles and characterization of miRNA expression profiles in human blastocoel fluid
Rosalia Battaglia,Simone Palini,Marilena Vento,A. La Ferlita,M. J. Lo Faro,Ettore Caroppo,Placido Borzì,Luca Falzone,Davide Barbagallo,Maria Alessandra Ragusa,Marina Scalia,Giuseppe D’Amato,Paolo Scollo,Paolo Musumeci,Michele Purrello,E. Gravotta,C. Di Pietro +16 more
TL;DR: 91 microRNAs, expressed at different levels, able to regulate critical signaling pathways controlling embryo development, such as pluripotency, cell reprogramming, epigenetic modifications, intercellular communication, cell adhesion and cell fate are found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Schottky--ohmic transition in nickel silicide/SiC-4H system: is it really a solved problem?
F. La Via,Fabrizio Roccaforte,Vito Raineri,Marco Mauceri,Alfonso Ruggiero,Paolo Musumeci,Lucia Calcagno,A. Castaldini,Anna Cavallini +8 more
TL;DR: The transition from Schottky to ohmic contact in the nickel silicide/SiC system during annealing from 600 to 950 °C was investigated by measuring the electrical properties of the contact and by analyzing the microstructure of the silicide and SiC interface as mentioned in this paper.
