Treatment of plutonium metal with 1.5 equiv of bromine in tetrahydrofuran (thf) led to isolation of PuBr3(thf)4 (1), which is a new versatile synthon for exploration of non-aqueous Pu(III) chemistry.

Gate-oxide degradation is more critical in Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs than in Silicon (Si) MOSFETs. This is because of the smaller gate-oxide thickness and the higher electric field that develops ...
