... This concept within a study, was achieved a hysteresis-free transition behavior at a subthreshold swing (SS) as small as 9.7 mV without a DE layer attached to the structure's FE layer (Song et al., 2022). In another study, the researchers explored Pt nanosheets' effects on MgSe thin films, revealing enhancements in light absorbability, energy band red-shift, and decreased dielectric constants, while sandwiching MgSe between Pt layers enabled the creation of tunneling-type diodes with negative capacitance properties, indicating potential applications in parasitic capacitance mitigation, noise reduction, and microwave resonance (Algarni et al., 2022). ...
... Negative conductance effect is known to be dominant in a microwave source, amplifier, or logical devices (Kim et al. 2003). Negative conductance effect was previously observed in Ag/ SeO 2 /C avalanche type resonant tunneling diodes (Al Garni et al. 2022), silicon based conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) -compatible electro-optical memory devices (Gherabli et al. 2023) and La/Ge gigahertz receivers (Alkhamisi et al. 2023). ...

It is given by the relation[14][15][16]. The slopes and the intercepts of the linear fittings which are shown infigure 3(b) reveal Vb i and Ñ values of 2.48 eV and 5.29 × 10 14 cm −3 , respectively, for the ASSSY devices in the dark. ...
... In addition the capacitance spectra shown in Fig. 5 (b) additionally display a decreasing trend of variation with increasing signal driving frequency but at slower rate. The negative resistance usually originates from high trap density in the films (Algarni et al. 2022). It can also result from the surpassing of interband tunneling process due to a significant decrease in the density of states in the films (Tanaka 1995). ...
... CS is one of the simplest and most cost-effective techniques that can be applied for a large-scale production of powders [12]. The unique properties of zinc-selenide mixture such as high combustion temperature (∼2000°C), short reaction time (∼5-10 s) [13], make this synthesis process attractive in comparison with traditional techniques for zinc selenide synthesis, for example, the heating of reactant precursor powders in a resistive furnace (conventional process), by hydrothermal technique [14] or by the thermal evaporation technique [15]. ...

Large lattice mismatches are mentioned resulting in interfacial stresses and are reported forming three dimensional quantum confinements Algarni et al. 2021). Three-dimensional quantum confinement is capable of altering radically the nonlinear optical properties of semiconductors in the transparency regions (Cotter et al. 1992). ...
... Cu-Se Coulombic interactions are stronger than those of In-Se (bond length is 270 pm (Yongxin and Yunxi 2022)). The shorter bond length of Cu-Se compared to that of In-Se results in stabled electron-hole pair interactions motivating the completing of the broken bonds (Khusayfan et al. 2021). Hence inducing the nucleation and growth processes. ...
