Effective Width Modeling for Body-Contacted Devices in Silicon-On-Insulator Technology

Khandelwal S., Tamilmani E., Shanbhag K., Watts J., IBM SRDC Bangalore, IN

Body-Contacted (BC) devices are extensively used in silicon-on-insulator analog circuits to avoid kink effect. This effect is not desirable as it changes gain of device suddenly. But to make body-contact special layout schemes are used. [...]

The role of Stone-Wales defects in the mechanical behavior of a zig-zag SWNT

Talukdar K., Mitra A.K., National Institute Of Technology, IN

A (5,0) SWNT with aspect ratio of 10.87 is simulated considering two different potentials, viz. Brenner’s Bond Order potential and Tight Binding potential. At first the Young’s modulus, failure stress and the maximum strain value [...]

Modification of photoluminescence characteristics of single wall carbon nanotubes by ZnS intercalation

Paul R., Kumbhakar P., Mitra A.K., National Institute Of Technology, IN

Commercially available SWNT of >95% purity was purified by high temperature oxidation and acid treatment. By a simple chemical wet process, SWNT samples were intercalated with as-prepared ZnS nanoparticles. The dried samples were dispersed in [...]

Nanotechnology Initiatives by Department of Information Technology, Government of India

Ramaraju G.V., Ministry of Communications & Information Technology, Government of India, IN

India recognized the importance and value of the nanotechnology for its national development and initiated concentrated nanotechnology programs. The two major initiatives in India are by Department of Science and Technology and Department of Information [...]

Vaidyanathan G., Selva B., vickram college of engineering, IN

1) The paper is on interfacing nanotechnology with bio technology to result a nano bio computer. 2) This technology will be capable of replacing the present generation laptops. 3) DNA is used as a memory [...]

Modeling of Electronic Transport in Molecular Devices

Lamba V.K., Engles D., Malik S.S., Verma M., HCTM Kaithal, IN

Abstract— In this paper a novel approach for simulating electronic transport in nanoscale structures is introduced. We consider an open quantum system (the electrons of structure) accelerated by an external electromotive force and dissipating energy [...]

DFT Calculation of interaction energies in model alanine and valine using different Basis sets

Singh J., Singh S.C., Singh J., Singh S.C., Allahabad University, IN

Alanine and valine are the most important primary amino acids and take important roles in the protein, DNA, RNA and other biological molecular synthesis. Computational approaches to solve the complex problem in material science and [...]

Temperature and Stress Controlled Surface Manipulation in NiAl Nano-Layers

Sutrakar V.K., Roy Mahapatra D., Melnik R.V.N., Indian Institute of Science, IN

Quantum dot arrays with precisely controlled positions and sizes are desirable for making templates for micro-and nano-electronic devices. Numerous experimental works have shown that unguided self-assembled growth of quantum dots usually fails to realize perfectly [...]

Non bacterial way of production of alcohols and biofuel

Gorakavi P.K., Gorakavi P.K., University college of Technology, Osmania University, IN

Biofuel which is currently being produced through a variety of bacterial uses can be replaced by a much more faster and economical process of production which involves production in laboratory with ot using metabolism. This [...]

Non Bacterial Way for Production of Biofuel for Jet Engines

Gorakavi P.K., Osmania University, IN

Production of a biofuel for jet engines is a priority research topic. Construction of similar chemical composition as that of the existing jet fuels is of absolute requirement. A similar production technique of producing the [...]
