Nanostructured materials are central to the evolution of future electronics and
information technologies. Ferroelectrics have already been established as a
dominant branch in the electronics sector because of their diverse ...
McCarthy, Mary E.(University College Cork, 2009-10)
The development of ultra high speed (~20 Gsamples/s) analogue to digital converters (ADCs), and the delayed deployment of 40 Gbit/s transmission due to the economic downturn, has stimulated the investigation of digital ...
Morrison, Alan P.(University College Cork, 1996-12)
The multiquantum barrier (MQB), proposed by Iga et al in 1986, has been shown by several researchers to be an effective structure for improving the operating characteristics of laser diodes. These improvements include a ...
