Fractional order oscillators based on operational transresistance amplifiers

In this paper, a general analysis of the fractional order operational transresistance amplifiers (OTRA) based oscillator is presented and validated through eight different circuits which represent two classifications according to the number of OTRAs. The general analytical formulas of the oscillation frequency, condition as well as the phase difference are illustrated for each case and summarized

2T2M memristor-based memory cell for higher stability RRAM modules

This paper introduces a novel 2T2M memristor based memory cell which, offers higher stability and noise margins than previous works. The proposed 2T2M RRAM module is similar to conventional 6T SRAM module in terms of delay and number of interface pins. However, the predicted area of the proposed 2T2M RRAM cell is significantly lower compared to the CMOS based 6T SRAM cell, and is also expected to

Process variability in Cu2ZnSnSe4 solar cell devices: Electrical and structural investigations

We have fabricated 9.7% efficient Cu2ZnSnSe4/CdS/ZnO solar cells by H2Se selenization of sequentially sputtered metal layers. Despite the good efficiency obtained, process control appears to be difficult. In the present contribution we compare the electrical and physical properties of two devices with nominal same fabrication procedure, but 1% and 9.7% power conversion efficiency respectively. We

Pinched hysteresis with inverse-memristor frequency characteristics in some nonlinear circuit elements

Abstract Pinched hysteresis is considered to be a signature of the existence of memristance. However, here we report on a model that exhibits pinched hysteresis yet it may represent a nonlinear inductor or a nonlinear capacitor (both with quadratic nonlinearity) or a derivative-controlled nonlinear resistor/transconductor. Further, the lobe area of the pinched hysteresis loop in these devices has
