Ultra-highly efficient SOT-writing in MTJs with strain-induced magnetic anisotropy

In order to break through limits of conventional MRAMs, MTJs with strain-induced magnetic anisotropy were intensively tested as SOT-MRAM cells. Small critical switching-current of 10–25 μA and switching-voltage of about 0.055 V, and almost no retention energy dependence of them were predicted and confirmed by experiments. Finally, high write efficiency of 1750 kBT/V (4.1 kBT/μA) and high write-power efficiency of 100 [kBT/(μA·V)] were obtained

Clear cell papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the epididymis: a case report and immunohistochemistry of markers for renal cell carcinoma

Neoplasms of the epididymis are uncommon, and malignant tumors are extremely rare. We report a case of clear cell papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the epididymis presenting with a long history of painless scrotal mass on the left side. Immunohistochemical markers for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were examined to distinguish between clear cell papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the epididymis and metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The present case was positive for cytokeratin-7, PAX2, vinculin, vimentin and carbonic anhydrase IX. Expression of CD10 was focally observed. In contrast, no immunoreactivities for α- methylacyl-CoA racemase, RCC marker, glutathione Stransferase α or C-KIT were detected. The immunophenotypic profile of clear cell papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the epididymis closely resembles that of clear cell papillary RCC, although the immunohistochemical markers tested in this study are useful to make a differential diagnosis between clear cell papillary cystadenocarcinoma of the epididymis and metastatic clear cell RCC
