Membrane-Particle Interactions in Asymmetric Flow Field Flow Fractionation (A4F) – The Influence of the ζ-Potential

Losert S., Hungerbühler K., Bendixen N., Ulrich A., EMPA, CH

Asymmetric flow field flow fractionation is a powerful and promising technique for the separation of nanoparticles. In combination with UV/Vis detection, multi-angle light scattering and coupled to ICP-MS it is a fast and quantitative analytical [...]

Optimizing Instrument Operation and Data Processing for Single Particle Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry Measurement of Gold Nanoparticles

Liu J., Murphy K.E., MacCuspie R.I., Winchester M.R., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

In recent years, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) operated in time-resolved analysis (TRA) mode has merged as a promising analytical tool capable of both sizing and counting metal containing nanoparticles in aqueous suspensions. In [...]

Narrow Fin Width Effect of HKMG Bulk FinFET Devices

Chen C-H, Chen C-Y, Chen L.-W., Chen Y-Y, Li Y., Chen C-H, Chen C-Y, Chen L.-W., Chen Y-Y, Chen C-H, Chen C-Y, Chen L.-W., Chen Y-Y, Hsu S.-C., Huang W.-T., Yang C.-M., Chen C-H, Chen C-Y, Chen L.-W., Chen Y-Y, Chu S.-Y., National Chiao Tung University, TW

In this study, we for the first time explore the dependence of the silicon fin width on electrostatic characteristic of HKMG bulk FinFET devices. On the same layout area, our study indicates that the narrow [...]

A Cathodoluminescence Study of InGaN/GaN Multiple Quantum Well and N type GaN Structures

Ramos F., Byrnes D., Lu F., Veeco Process Equipment, Inc, US

A systematic study of the V-pits in 4 periods of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well structure (MQW) and defects in n type GaN is investigated by room temperature cathodoluminescence. These MQWs were fabricated on a sapphire [...]

Complex conductivity measurement of CNT/Polymer films using a non-contact microwave technique

Badi N., Kanakadandila V., Wosik J., Chouit F., Boukhezar S., Guellati O., Guerioune M., University of Houston, US

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced composites have applications in electronics, optoelectronics, photovoltaic, sensors, structural materials, and energy storage systems. Electrical characteristics, such as alternating current (AC) complex conductivity and dielectric permittivity are key functional parameters of [...]

Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy using a Commercially Available SPM Unit

Won S., Heo J., Korea Institute of Materials Science, KR

Magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) is considered another as a novel scanning probe microscope (SPM) combined with conventional SPM and magnetic resonance imaging. Originally, MRFM is proposed as a means to improve detection sensitivity to [...]

Modeling and Fabrication of Quantum Dot Channel (QDC) Field-Effect Transistors Incorporating Quantum Dot Gate

Kondo J., University of Connecticut, US

Quantum dot gate (QDG) field effect transistors (FET) have shown three-state transfer characteristics. Quantum dot channel (QDC) field-effect transistors (FET) have exhibited multi-state ID-VG characteristics. This paper aims at studying the effect of incorporating cladded [...]

Contact Properties of Titanium Nitride Sidewall Coating for Nanoelectromechanical Electronics

Shavezipur M., Harrison K.L., Lee W-S., Espinosa B., Provine J., Mitra S., Wong H.S.P., Howe R.T., The Ohio State University, US

The performance of hybrid NEM-CMOS low power electronics and logic gates highly depends on the source-drain contact resistance and adhesion force, which affect the power consumption and the pull-in/pull-out hysteresis, respectively. In the present work, [...]

Physical properties of multilayer thin films of Ti-V and their hydrides studied by ion beam analysis methods

Drogowska K., Flege S., Becker H.-W., Tarnawski Z., Zakrzewska K., Balogh A.G., AGH University of Science and Technology, PL

A wide variety of characterization techniques were used to determine the properties of titanium, titanium oxides and vanadium oxide thin film multilayers with different thicknesses, for the as-deposited state as well as under different levels [...]

Cobalt Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Langmuir-Blodgett Monolayer Formation

Repina I.N., Sokolov M.E., Kuban State University, RU

We report the synthesis of Co nanoparticles in spherical micelles and formations the 2D arrays structures of Co nanoparticles. The Co nanoparticles were chemically synthesized through a redox method in spherical micelles of the microemulsion [...]
