    Low-power emerging memristive designs towards secure hardware systems for applications in internet of things
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Du, Nan; Schmidt, Heidemarie; Polian, Ilia
    Emerging memristive devices offer enormous advantages for applications such as non-volatile memories and in-memory computing (IMC), but there is a rising interest in using memristive technologies for security applications in the era of internet of things (IoT). In this review article, for achieving secure hardware systems in IoT, low-power design techniques based on emerging memristive technology for hardware security primitives/systems are presented. By reviewing the state-of-the-art in three highlighted memristive application areas, i.e. memristive non-volatile memory, memristive reconfigurable logic computing and memristive artificial intelligent computing, their application-level impacts on the novel implementations of secret key generation, crypto functions and machine learning attacks are explored, respectively. For the low-power security applications in IoT, it is essential to understand how to best realize cryptographic circuitry using memristive circuitries, and to assess the implications of memristive crypto implementations on security and to develop novel computing paradigms that will enhance their security. This review article aims to help researchers to explore security solutions, to analyze new possible threats and to develop corresponding protections for the secure hardware systems based on low-cost memristive circuit designs.

    Link to glow - iEDDA conjugation of a Ruthenium(II) tetrazine complex leading to dihydropyrazine and pyrazine complexes with improved 1O2 formation ability

    The synthesis and photophysical properties of the Ru-polypyridyl type complex [(tbbpy)2Ru(bptz)]2+ (Ru-bptz, tbbpy: 4,4’-di-tert-butyl-2,2’-bipyridine, bptz: 2,6-dipyrido-1,2,4,5-tetrazine), and the complexes [(tbbpy)2Ru(L)]2+ formed by inverse electron demand Diels Alder reaction (iEDDA) of Ru-bptz with with alkenes and alkynes, where L is 3,6-dipyrido-2,5-dihydropyridazine (bpdhpn) or 3,6-dipyrido-pyridazine (bppn) are described. A combination of steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopy complemented by the computation of state-specific absorption properties by means of time-dependent density functional theory reveals that the intense visible absorption band stems from Ru → tbbpy and Ru → L metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) excitations. The studies show that lowest-lying L-centered MLCT states (3MLCTL) show comparably low emission quantum yields (3–9%) and lifetimes (90–150 ns). This correlates with the singlet oxygen generation ability, following the trend: Ru-bppn > Ru-bpdhpn > Ru-bptz.

    (INVITED)Tm:YAG crystal-derived double-clad fibers – A hybrid approach towards high gain and high efficiency Tm lasers
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2022) Leich, Martin; Müller, Robert; Unger, Sonja; Schwuchow, Anka; Dellith, Jan; Lorenz, Adrian; Kobelke, Jens; Jäger, Matthias
    The hybrid approach of combining a Tm:YAG laser crystal with an amorphous fused silica tube is investigated to evaluate the suitability of the resulting crystal-derived fibers for efficient double-clad fiber lasers. The fabrication process and fiber properties of these Tm fibers are investigated, focusing on the dependence of the active fiber properties on the incorporated Tm3+ concentration. Crystal rods with different doping concentrations (TmxY1-x)3Al5O12 (x = 0.02, 0.05 and 0.08) were used as starting core material for fiber drawing. The investigated fibers are mechanically stable and result in a fairly homogenous and amorphous core glass with optical absorption and emission spectra that are similar to conventional Tm:Al doped silica fibers. Regarding laser properties with 790 nm cladding pumping, we could achieve a maximum slope efficiency of 47% with an output power of 4 W. The fiber laser results are compared to a conventionally fabricated double-clad Tm fiber prepared by Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition and solution doping. To the best of our knowledge, we demonstrate the highest laser output and the highest efficiency obtained from a Tm:YAG crystal-derived fiber.
