Memes

How to write a publication abstract with meme annotations. This structure should be used for all academic publications.

The core idea of the work that inspired this meme is the idea of using disorder as a design parameter. Here the disorder was tuned to modulate the transport relaxation in a dielectric and use that relaxation for reservoir computing.

This work demonstrated that the use of assumed ideal materials may still have a background signal in a measurement. In this case Pt is assumed trivial in spin-Seebeck measurements, yet its Nernst coefficient was missing from the literature and hopelessly buried under parasitics in local measurements.

This work demonstrated the failure mode of an island ferroelectric capacitor of 10 nm thick HZO from endurance testing. The fabricated island capacitors fail catastrophically and early due to the irreversible formation of a conductive filament.

This work demonstrated that a capacitor geometry, intentional or unintentional, can lead to spurious quantification of the dielectric properties.
