Photodetectors based on two-dimensional(2D) materials have attracted considerable attention because of their unique properties. To further improve the performance of self-driven photodetectors based on van der Waals heterojunctions, a conductive band minimum(CBM) matched self-driven SnS_(2)/WS_(2) van der Waals heterojunction photodetector based on a SiO2/Si substrate has been designed. The device exhibits a positive current at zero voltage under 365 nm laser *** is attributed to the built-in electric field at the interface of the SnS_(2) and WS_(2) layer, which will separate and transport the photogenerated carriers, even at zero bias voltage. In addition, the Al_(2)O_(3) layer is covered by the surface of the SnS_(2)/WS_(2) photodetector to further improve the performance, because the Al_(2)O_(3) layer will introduce tensile stress on the surface of the 2D materials leading to a higher electron concentration and smaller effective mass of electrons in the films. This work provides an idea for the research of self-driven photodetectors based on a van der Waals heterogeneous junction.

In this work, we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of codes in the zero-rate regime. Briefly, a code C Ď rqsn is (p, , L)-list-recoverable if for all tuples of input lists (Y1, . . ., Yn) with each Yi Ď rqs and |Yi| ", the number of codewords c P C such that ci R Yi for at most pn choices of i P rns is less than L;list-decoding is the special case of "1. In recent work by Resch, Yuan and Zhang (ICALP 2023) the zero-rate threshold for list-recovery was determined for all parameters: that is, the work explicitly computes p*:"p*(q, , L) with the property that for all Ε ą 0 (a) there exist positive-rate (p* - Ε, , L)-list-recoverable codes, and (b) any (p* + Ε, , L)-list-recoverable code has rate 0. In fact, in the latter case the code has constant size, independent on n. However, the constant size in their work is quite large in 1/Ε, at least |C| ě (1Ε)O(qL). Our contribution in this work is to show that for all choices of q, and L with q ě 3, any (p* + Ε, , L)-list-recoverable code must have size Oq,,L(1/Ε), and furthermore this upper bound is complemented by a matching lower bound Ωq,,L(1/Ε). This greatly generalizes work by Alon, Bukh and Polyanskiy (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 2018) which focused only on the case of binary alphabet (and thus necessarily only list-decoding). We remark that we can in fact recover the same result for q "2 and even L, as obtained by Alon, Bukh and Polyanskiy: we thus strictly generalize their work. Our main technical contribution is to (a) properly define a linear programming relaxation of the list-recovery condition over large alphabets;and (b) to demonstrate that a certain function defined on a q-ary probability simplex is maximized by the uniform distribution. This represents the core challenge in generalizing to larger q (as a binary simplex can be naturally identified with a one-dimensional interval). We can subsequently re-utilize certain Schur convexity and convexity properties established for a related function

Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) have been introduced as highly promising hardware primitives for key-based security applications. A PUF can be thought of as a hardware fingerprint that is able to produce a device-specific key for utilization in applications involving device identification and cryptographic key-based security. Among various PUF approaches, the ring oscillator (RO) PUF stands out as the most common PUF design due to its simple implementation and high-performance features. However, RO-PUFs are often classified as weak PUFs due to their limited input-output combinations, commonly referred to as challenge-response pairs within the scope of PUFs. Increasing the CRPs size of traditional RO-PUF results in a proportional growth in the hardware requirements for the RO-PUF design. This correlation arises from the linear relationship between the CRPs size and the hardware resources necessary for the RO-PUF design. Configurable RO-PUF emerged as a solution that expands the CRPs size without a substantial hardware increase. This study evaluates the performance reliability of CRO-PUF across various temperatures. Additionally, we explore the impact of altering the ring oscillators count on the CRO-PUF's performance.
