Modeling of Nanoelectronic and Quantum Devices
The semiconductor industry is constantly pushing towards ever smaller devices and it is expected that we will see commercial devices with gate lengths less than 10 nm within the next decade. Such small devices have [...]
A Sub-40nm Nanostructured La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 Planar Magnetic Memory
Arnal T., Bibes M., Lecoeur Ph., Mercey B., Prellier W., Haghiri-Gosnet A.M., Institut d'Electronique Fondamentale IEF/UMR8622, FR
A single-step nanolithography planar process, which allows generating the core-element of a spin-polarized magnetic memory in the fully spin-polarized La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) manganite, is reported. Taking benefit of the proximity effects due to backscattered electrons, a [...]
Discontinuous Gold Films for Nanocell Memories
Nackashi D.P., Di Spigna N.H., Winick D.A., Amsinck C.J., Cheng L., Tour J.M., Franzon P.D., North Carolina State University, US
An important component to the nanocell, among other self-assembled networks, is the fabrication of a framework by which molecular elements can be interconnected. This framework must be nanometric in scale, created in a material suitable [...]
Valence-band Energies of GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/InP V-groove [1-10] Quantum Wires
Comparison between the Burt-Foreman and Luttinger-Kohn valence-band Hamiltonians have been performed for realistic V-groove GaAs/AlGaAs and InGaAs/InP quantum wires. Significant differences in band structure is only found for InGaAs/InP quantum wires.
Spin-orbit Interaction and Energy States in Nanoscale Semiconductor Quantum Rings
We investigate the effect of spin-orbit interaction on the electron energy states in nanoscale semiconductor quantum rings. The effective one-band Hamiltonian approximation with the spin-dependent Ben Daniel-Duke boundary conditions is formulated and solved numerically. Due [...]
Fault Detection and Diagnosis Techniques for Molecular Computing
Fault detection and diagnosis techniques that are essential for defect tolerance, fault tolerance and self-repair of molecular computing systems are discussed. These techniques enable robust molecular computing system design protected from manufacturing defects and run-time [...]
Translating the Integration Challenges to Molecular Device Requirements – Analysis of Scaling Constraints in Molecular Random Access Memories
Integrating molecular memory devices into large scale arrays is a key requirement for translating the miniature size of molecular devices into ultradense memory systems. This in turn imposes constraints on the individual molecular memory devices. [...]
A Schrödinger-Poisson Solver for Modeling Carbon Nanotube FETs
John D.L., Castro L.C., Pereira P.J.S., Pulfrey D.L., Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, CA
Carbon nanotubes are attracting great interest for their use in nanoscale electronic devices. Recent modeling efforts of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) have been successful in examining the subthreshold behaviour of these devices through a [...]
