Emerging 2D materials for tunneling field effect transistors by Nupur Navlakha, Leonard F. Register, Sanjay K. Banerjee

“… This work focuses on understanding the electronic properties of materials to enhance the performance of Tunnel Field Effect Transistor (TFET) through Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations. Material selection prefers a p-type material with in-plane high density of state (DOS) (and low out-of-plane effective mass, m*, where defined for many layer systems), and high valence band maxima (VBM) energy stacked with an n-type material with low conduction band minimum (CBM) energy (large electron affinity (EA)) that creates a broken or nearly broken band alignment and has low lattice mismatch. …”

Comprehensive analysis of total knee arthroplasty kinematics and functional recovery: Exploring full-body gait deviations in patients with knee osteoarthritis. by Xavier Gasparutto, Alice Bonnefoy-Mazure, Michael Attias, Katia Turcot, Stéphane Armand, Hermès H Miozzari

“…Differences between groups, with controls, as well as before and after surgery were evaluated for patients reported outcome measures, kinematic features, and spatio-temporal parameters. Three functional groups were identified. One low-functioning cluster with mostly elderly women showing significant functional improvement one year after surgery, and two high-functioning clusters differentiated by pelvis tilt (anteversion vs. retroversion), sagittal knee alignment (varus vs. neutral), and knee flexion during stance phase (flexum vs. extended) that showed limited improvement one year after surgery. …”
