Abstract: We propose a coupling structure that combines both grating couplers and spot-size converters for characterization of silicon photonic integrated circuits. The structure is expected to reduce ...

Abstract: Power metal-oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) play a vital role in numerous everyday applications that require an extended lifetime. Therefore, it is important to ...

Introduction: Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) effectively mitigate drought stress in crops, yet their physiological mechanisms in maize remain unclear. Methods: This study conducted field experiments in ...
