We measured critical temperature and critical magnetic fields of Nb/Pd multilayers where the Nb thickness is held constant (dNb=250 Å) while the Pd thickness, dPd, is systematically varied from 10 to 200 Å. The critical temperature shows a monotonic decrease as a function of the Pd thickness, which can be tentatively described using the classical de Gennes-Werthamer theory for proximity coupled systems. The critical magnetic field measurements reveal unusual behavior, like a positive curvature of Hc2(T) close to Tc and a dimensional 3D-2D crossover, already present in multilayers with very thin Pd layers. In particular the angular behavior of the upper critical field, in the case of small dPd values, confirm the 2D nature of all the samples at T=4.2 K, giving also indication of the columnar nature of the Nb layers. These unusual behaviors might be related to the strong paramagnetic nature of the Pd layers. On the other hand also the proximity theory for S/N systems describes the perpendicular critical field data, but some inconsistencies are found quantitatively. 相似文献
Measurements of the perpendicular upper critical magnetic field Hc2(T) are reported for several Nb/CuMn multilayers. It is found that, despite the magnetic nature of the samples, the data for samples with low Mn percentage in the CuMn layers are simply described by the Werthamer–Helfand–Honenberg theory for conventional type-II superconductors, neglecting both Pauli spin paramagnetism and spin orbit impurity scattering. For high Mn concentration a different theoretical approach is needed. 相似文献
Thin film photovoltaics is a particularly attractive technology for building integration. In this paper, we present our analysis on architectural issues and technological developments of thin film silicon photovoltaics. In particular, we focus on our activities related to transparent and conductive oxide (TCO) and thin film amorphous and microcrystalline silicon solar cells. The research on TCO films is mainly dedicated to large-area deposition of zinc oxide (ZnO) by low pressure-metallorganic chemical vapor deposition. ZnO material, with a low sheet resistance (<8 Ω/sq) and with an excellent transmittance (>82%) in the whole wavelength range of photovoltaic interest, has been obtained. “Micromorph” tandem devices, consisting of an amorphous silicon top cell and a microcrystalline silicon bottom cell, are fabricated by using the very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique. An initial efficiency of 11.1% (>10% stabilized) has been obtained. 相似文献
Ransomware is a very effective form of malware that is recently spreading out on an impressive number of workstations and smartphones. This malware blocks the access to the infected machine or to the files located in the infected machine. The attackers will restore the machine and files only after the payment of a certain amount of money, usually given in the form of bitcoins. Commercial solutions are still ineffective to recognize the last variants of ransomware, and the problem has been poorly investigated in literature. In this paper we discuss a methodology based on formal methods for detecting ransomware malware on Android devices. We have implemented our method in a tool named Talos. We evaluate the method, and the obtained results show that Talos is very effective in recognizing ransomware (accuracy of 0.99) even when it is obfuscated (accuracy still remains at 0.99). 相似文献
Current anti-malware technologies in last years demonstrated their evident weaknesses due to the signature-based approach adoption. Many alternative solutions were provided by the current state of art literature, but in general they suffer of a high false positive ratio and are usually ineffective when obfuscation techniques are applied. In this paper we propose a method aimed to discriminate between malicious and legitimate samples in mobile environment and to identify the belonging malware family and the variant inside the family. We obtain gray-scale images directly from executable samples and we gather a set of features from each image to build several classifiers. We experiment the proposed solution on a data-set of 50,000 Android (24,553 malicious among 71 families and 25,447 legitimate) and 230 Apple (115 samples belonging to 10 families) real-world samples, obtaining promising results.
