Modeling and Analysis of a Membrane-Based Randomized-Contact Decoder
Controlling nanowires with mesoscale wires is important in addressing nanoscale memories. In this paper we report on simulations and analysis of an implementation of the randomized-contact decoder that is based on the use of porous [...]
Implementation of Comparison Function Using Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata
Quantum-Dot cellular automata (QCA) architectures represent the future of computing. But it can only implement an inverter and a three input majority gate directly. Consequently very few QCA architectures are available in literature. By fixing [...]
Logicless Computational Architectures with Nanoscale Crossbar Arrays
Modern computational architectures are reliant on basic logic circuits carrying out Boolean operations such as AND, OR, XOR, etc. Recently efforts have been made to replicate the functions of such logic circuits using various nanoelectronic [...]
Multi-Bit/Cell SONOS Flash Memory with Recessed Channel Structure
A novel device structure for 4-bit/cell with recessed channel structure is presented and characterized for NOR-type nonvolatile memory (NVM) technology. In this paper, we studied a 4-bit/cell SONOS flash memory cell Since two transistors in [...]
Polypyrrole nanoionic composites for solid state electronics
In this report, a conjugated semiconducting polymer composite was designed to have a mobile charge carrier density that can be controlled through an electric field. An electrochemically deposited polypyrrole (PPy) composite between two gold electrodes [...]
Optical absorption and luminescence study of ZnS quantum dots
We report here ZnS quantum dots synthesized by chemical method at room temperature. In this technique ZnS quantum dots are produced by simple chemical reactions where Zeolite, acting as matrix, plays the key role in [...]
Experiments and Simulations of Infrared Transmission by Transverse Magnetic Mode through Au Gratings on Silicon with Various Air-slot Widths over the Period
Au gratings with various air-slot widths were fabricated experimentally by electron beam lithography system (e-beam) and their infrared (2.5~25 m) transmission of the transverse magnetic mode (TM mode) were investigated by the Fourier Transform Infrared [...]

Photonic crystals (PhC) are artificially engineered periodic structures capable of manipulating and shaping optical signals. Nanoscale photonic crystals is expected to add new functionalities to the next generation of optical integrated circuits by providing novel [...]
Atomistic Simulation on Boron Transient Diffusion during in Pre-amorphized Silicon Substrate
We investigated the boron diffusion in the silicon posterior to PAI (pre-amorphization implant) in order to understand the mechanism for amorphization process and generation-recombnation of defects. Silicon atoms were weighed as a new pre-amorphization implant [...]
