Electrochemical aspects of the generation of ramified metallic electrodeposits.
TL;DR: The growth of ramified metallic deposits by electrodeposition from dilute salt solutions and in a high electric field has been considered in the geometry of a thin rectangular cell and it is found that ramified growth is a direct consequence of the creation of a space charge upon anion depletion in the vicinity of the cathode.

Improved thin-film structure for chalcogenide electrical switching devices and process therefor
TL;DR: In this article, a thin-film structure for solid state thin-filament electrical switching device fabricated of chalcoge-nide material is presented. But the use of a thin insulating layer precludes step coverage faults of the prior art, and the requirement for the thin layer of insulator material to withstand the switching voltage is addressed through the addition of a second thicker layer of in-sulator material.
