  • Publication number: 20240109059
    Abstract: Described herein is a supported organotin catalyst and a preparation method for a sucrose-6-carboxylate. The supported organotin catalyst is prepared by coupling an organotin functional group to an inorganic carrier. The supported organotin catalyst of the present application can be used for catalyzing the generation of a sucrose-6-carboxylate, and after reaction, the supported organotin catalyst can be directly filtered and recovered only by adding a small amount of water to quench an acylating agent, so that the subsequent dehydration process is simpler and easier, and the supported organotin catalyst is thus very economical in terms of manpower, equipment and energy.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device including a channel region and a ferromagnetic gate is provided. The channel region can be formed within a semiconductor nanowire. The ferromagnetic gate is programmed with a selected orientation of magnetization by the electrical current that passes through the channel region in one direction or another. The orientation of the magnetization in the ferromagnetic gate can be detected by changes in the threshold voltage of a field effect transistor employing the ferromagnetic gate as a gate electrode, or can be detected by the resistance of the channel region that changes with the orientation of the magnetization in a two terminal device.
