Compact MEMS/NEMS Characterization Platform Using a DVD Optical Pick-up Unit with Optical Imaging Function

Chen C-H, Larsen T., Schmid S., Liao H-S, Hwang I-S, Boisen A., Hwu E-T, Academia Sinica, TW

We present a compact, simple and efficient platform for MEMS/NEMS characterization. In this platform, a DVD optical pickup unit (OPU) is combined with a CCD camera. A nano-scale resolution long range X-Y-Z linear stage below [...]

Exact field enhancement factor, electrostatic force and field emission current from a long carbon nanotube

Zhbanov A.I., Pogorelov E.G., Chang Y-C, Academia Sinica, TW

We consider a field emitter on the base of carbon nanotube film consisting from randomly wreathed tubes. Under applied voltage some long ends of nanotubes laying on a surface of film should be straightened by [...]

Excited Electronic States and Production Optimizations for Promising Nano-Agents

Slanina Z., Kobayashi K., Nagase S., Academia Sinica, TW

Very high temperatures of fullerene and nanotube syntheses do allow for a significant population of excited electronic states and thus for non-negligible electronic partition functions. This unique feature can have some interesting consequences for computed [...]
