  • Patent number: 11955676
    Abstract: A unit configured as constituent part of a fuel cell for use in novel electrochemical hydrogen compressor material technology system includes a combination of a hydrocarbon auto-thermal reformer, a water-gas shift reactor, and at least two countercurrent flow heat recuperators at least one of which is downstream from both the reformer and reactor. Optionally, two of the at least two recuperators are separated by the reactor to generate H2 in addition to that already contained in reformate formed at the reformer. The unit may include a proton conducting membrane that includes an inorganic polymer with pores filled with an organic polymer, each of which is configured to operate individually within a wide range of temperatures with no added solvent.

  • Publication number: 20240071451
    Abstract: The three-state spintronic device includes: a bottom electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction and a top electrode from bottom to top. The magnetic tunnel junction includes: a spin-orbit coupling layer, a ferromagnetic free layer, a barrier tunneling layer, a ferromagnetic reference layer, three local magnetic domain wall pinning centers and domain wall nucleation centers. An antisymmetric exchange interaction is modulated, and the magnetic domain wall pinning centers are embedded in an interface between a heavy metal and the ferromagnetic free layer. The magnetic domain wall nucleation centers are at two ends of the ferromagnetic free layer. A current pulse flows through the spin-orbit coupling layer to generate a spin current and the spin current is injected into the ferromagnetic free layer. Under a control of all-electrical controlled, an effective field of a spin-orbit torque drives domain wall to move and displace.

  • Publication number: 20230337548
    Abstract: An SOT-driven field-free switching MRAM and an array thereof. From top to bottom, the SOT-MRAM sequentially includes: a selector (1) configured to turn on or turn off the SOT-MRAM under an action of an external voltage; a magnetic tunnel junction (2), including a ferromagnetic reference layer, a tunneling layer and a ferromagnetic free layer arranged sequentially from top to bottom; and a spin-orbit coupling layer (3) made of one or more selected from heavy metal, doped heavy metal, heavy metal alloy, metal oxide, dual heavy metal layers, semiconductor material, two-dimensional semi-metal material and anti-ferromagnetic material. The spin-orbit coupling layer is configured to generate an in-plane effective field in the ferromagnetic free layer by using the interlayer exchange coupling effect and generate spin-orbit torques by using the spin Hall effect, so as to perform a deterministic data storage in the magnetic tunnel junction (2).

  • Patent number: 9418843
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing ordered nanowires array of NiO doped with Pt in situ, comprising: growing a Ni layer on a high-temperature resistant and insulated substrate; applying a photoresist on the Ni layer, pattering a pattern region of the ordered nanowires array by applying electron beam etching on the photoresist, growing Ni on the pattern region of the ordered nanowires array, peeling off the photoresist by acetone and etching the surface of the Ni layer by ion beam etching so as to etch off the Ni layer grown on the surface of the substrate and to leave the Ni on the pattern region of the ordered nanowires array to form the ordered Ni nanowires array; dipping the ordered Ni nanowires array into a solution of H2PtCl6 so as to displace Pt on the Ni nanowires array by a displacement reaction; and oxidizing the Ni nanowires array attached with Pt in an oxidation oven to obtain the ordered nanowires array of NiO doped with Pt.

  • Publication number: 20150325437
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for preparing compound semiconductor sensitive film based on a displacement reaction-thermal oxidation method, the method comprising: growing a layer of Zn on a high temperature-resistant substrate; submerging the substrate on which the layer of Zn has been grown into ionic solution of soluble salt of Cu, such that Cu ions in the solution are displaced so as to separate Cu nano-particles out on a surface of the layer of Zn; and performing a thermal oxidation process on the layer of Zn to whose surface Cu nano-particles are adhered, such that the Cu nano-particles are oxidized into CuO nano-particles, so as to obtain a ZnO gas sensitive film that is doped with CuO nano-particles. The above preparing method has the following advantages: good filming quality, simplified preparation process, low cost and easy to control.
