Self-consistent Quantum Mechanical Treatment of the Ballistic Transport in 10 nm FinFET Devices Using CBR Method

Khan H., Mamaluy D., Vasileska D., Arizona State University, US

CBR technique has been used to perform fully quantum-mechanical simulation of 10nm FinFET devices with varying fin width. Device characteristics have been observed and compared to the experimental values. It is observed from the simulation [...]

Deformation of Nanocrystalline Metals under Nanoscale Contact

Sansoz F., Dupont V., The University of Vermont, US

The nanoindentation of a columnar grain boundary (GB) network in nanocrystalline Al has been examined by atomistic simulation. Our intent was to gain fundamental understanding on the relationship between structure evolution at GBs and incipient [...]

Design and Manufacturing Concepts of Nanoparticle-reinforced Aerospace Materials

Kireitseu M.V., Tomlinson G.R., Basenuk V., Rolls-Royce Centre in Damping, the University of Sheffield, UK

Material and Fan Blade Design Concepts shown in fig. 1 are introduced as follows: 1) CNT-reinforced micro-balloons to be used to create syntactic foam (an two-part epoxy adhesive filled with micro-balloons) such that the density [...]

Euler Buckling of Individual SiGe/Si Microtubes

Zhang L., Dong L.X., Bell D.J., Nelson B.J., Schönenberger C., Grützmacher D., Paul Scherrer Institut, CH

Freestanding Si/SiGe microtubes have been fabricated using the roll-up technique of strained bilayer structures. Si/SiGe bilayers of 18 nm thickness have been rolled into tubes of 1.3 μm diameter. Tubes of 60 μm length have [...]

Nanostructured Metals Synthesized in Swollen Liquid Crystals

Surendran G., Ramos L., Prouzet E., Remita H., CNRS, FR

We have developed a flexible approach for the preparation of nanostructured materials using swollen liquid cristals (SLCs) that exhibit hexagonal, cubic or lamellar symmetry as soft templates.Hexagonal SLCs consist in a regular packing of infinite [...]

High Capacity Nano-optical Diffraction Bar-code Tagging for Biological and Chemical Applications

Banu S., Birtwell S., Chen Y., Galitonov G., Morgan H., Zheludev N., University of Southampton, UK

Here we describe a new method for encoding small beads which allows for non-contact reading. The tagging technique is based on fabricating a nano-structured pattern on the surface of the particle, which is only a [...]

Zeolite Micropattern for Biological Applications

Wong L.W., Sun W., Lam K.F., Yeung K.L., Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HK

A facile method was established using composition-gradient pattern on zeolite surface to guide the deposition and formation of chemical and biomolecular patterns .The goal is to achieve well-defined spatial patterns of bioactive molecules of precise [...]
