The model of a memory cell is proposed, which uses interior vortices in layered superconducting system as information bits. In the memory cell, such vortices represents an interesting storage medium for future Josephson computers. The current state of the vortex driving is investigated. The connection between the material performance and serviceability of this memory cell is established. The results obtained show that the proposed type of vortex memory is more preferred than the one based on the use of a two-dimensional array of single-quantum vortices in a thin-film type-II superconductor.

This paper presents two algorithms for mutual exclusion on optical bus architectures including the folded one-dimensional bus, the one-dimensional array with pipelined buses (1D APPB), and the two-dimensional array with pipelined buses (2D APPB). The first algorithm guarantees mutual exclusion, while the second guarantees both mutual exclusion and fairness. Both algorithms exploit the predictability of propagation delays in optical buses.

AbstractAs one of the most widely used nanofabrication methods, the atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip-based nanomachining technique offers important advantages, including nanoscale manipulation accuracy, low maintenance cost, and flexible experimental operation. This technique has been applied to one-, two-, and even three-dimensional nanomachining patterns on thin films made of polymers, metals, and two-dimensional materials. These structures are widely used in the fields of nanooptics, nanoelectronics, data storage, super lubrication, and so forth. Moreover, they are believed to have a wide application in other fields, and their possible industrialization may be realized in the future. In this work, the current state of the research into the use of the AFM tip-based nanomachining method in thin-film machining is presented. First, the state of the structures machined on thin films is reviewed according to the type of thin-film materials (i.e., polymers, metals, and two-dimensional materials). Second, the related applications of tip-based nanomachining to film machining are presented. Finally, the current situation of this area and its potential development direction are discussed. This review is expected to enrich the understanding of the research status of the use of the tip-based nanomachining method in thin-film machining and ultimately broaden its application.

In this paper the transient coupled conductive-radiative field, due to a laser heat source impinging on a thin film deposited on a substrate, has been solved in the hypothesis of one dimensionality of the optical field and of two dimensionality of the thermal field. Results have been obtained with the matrix method for the optical field and the finite volume method for the thermal field. The results show that when the investigation is localized to the center of the spot, the one-dimensional model describes the thermal field quite well. Instead, if knowledge of the temperature is required elsewhere, the two-dimensional model is needed. The investigation herein presented shows that for low-conductivity materials (a–Si) the temperature peaks are placed inside the thin film for the absorption function distribution, determined by interference phenomena.
