It primarily focuses on the impact of various intrinsic device parameters on DH-FET performance, including barrier layer thickness, delta-doped layer doping concentrations, spacer layer thicknesses, channel layer thickness, UID layer thickness, gate-to-drain contact spacing, and trap concentration. This study thoroughly examines the effect of these parameters on the on-and off-state characteristics of the device, offering valuable physical insights. For each parameter, the investigation primarily assesses its impact on on-resistance, off-state breakdown voltage, threshold voltage, and resulting power figure of merit (PFOM) as performance indicators. This study would serve as a helpful resource for designing high-power <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">\beta </tex-math> </inline-formula>-(Al<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">_{\textit{x}}</tex-math> </inline-formula>Ga<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">_{\text{1} -\textit{x}}\text{)}_{\text{2}}</tex-math> </inline-formula>O<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">_{\text{3}}</tex-math> </inline-formula>/Ga<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">_{\text{2}}</tex-math> </inline-formula>O<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">_{\text{3}}</tex-math> </inline-formula> DH-FETs and offer important guidance for the future development of Ga<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">_{\text{2}}</tex-math> </inline-formula>O<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">_{\text{3}}</tex-math> </inline-formula>-based heterostructure devices.
September 11th, 2001 remains a focal point of American consciousness, a site demanding ongoing excavation, a site at which to mark before and after “everything” changed. In ways both real and ...intangible the entire sequence of events of that day continues to resonate in an endlessly proliferating aftermath of meanings that continue to evolve. Presenting a collection of analyses by an international body of scholars that examines America's recent history, this book focuses on popular culture as a profound discursive site of anxiety and discussion about 9/11 and demystifies the day's events in order to contextualize them into a historically grounded series of narratives that recognizes the complex relations of a globalized world. Essays in Reframing 9/11 share a collective drive to encourage new and original approaches for understanding the issues both within and beyond the official political rhetoric of the events of the “The Global War on Terror” and issues of national security.

In the days, months, and now years following the events of September 11th, 2001, discrimination against the Sikh community in America has escalated sharply, due in part to a populace that often ...confuses Sikhs, compelled by their faith to wear turbans, with the Muslim extremists responsible for the devastating terrorist attacks. Although Sikhs have since mobilized to spread awareness and condemn violence against themselves and Muslims, there has been a conspicuous absence of academic literature to aid scholars and commentators in understanding the effect of the backlash on the Sikh community. This volume provides a unique window onto this particular minority group's experience in an increasingly hostile climate, and offers a sharp analysis of the legal battles fought by Sikhs in post-9/11 America. In doing so, it adds a new chapter to the ongoing national story of the difficulties minority groups have faced in protecting their civil liberties in times of war.
Architecture, Media, and Memory examines the wide range of urban sites impacted by September 11 and its aftermath – from the spontaneous memorials that emerged in Union Square in the hours after the ...attacks, to the reconstruction at Ground Zero, to vast ongoing landscape urbanism projects beyond. Yet this is not simply a book about post-9/11 architecture. It instead presents 9/11 as a multifaceted case study to explore a discourse on memory and its representation in the built environment. It argues that the reconstruction of New York must be considered in relation to larger issues of urban development, ongoing global conflicts, the rise of digital media, and the culture, philosophy and aesthetics of memory. It shows how understanding architecture in New York post-9/11 requires bringing memory into contact with a complex array of political, economic and social forces. Demonstrating an ability to explain complex philosophical ideas in language that will be accessible to students and researchers alike in architecture, urban studies, cultural studies and memory studies, this book serves as a thought-provoking account of the intertwining of contemporary architecture, media, and memory
