In-Situ Nanomechanical-Electrical Testing of One-Dimensional Materials

Yassar R.S., Yap Y.K., Michigan Technological University, US

One-dimensional nanomaterials including nanotubes are building blocks for constructing various complex nanodevices. Boron nitride (BN) nanotubes with structure similar to carbon nanotube are known to be among the strongest insulators in the world. In this [...]

Improving Water Management in Fuel Cell Flow Channels via Oscillation of Water Droplets

Schultz R., Diebel J., Allen J., Michigan Technological University, US

To achieve maximum efficiency and reliability in a PEM fuel cell, a balance between keeping the membrane from becoming too dry or too wet must be monitored carefully. At present, product water is moved through [...]

A New Computational Model for Fluid-Structure Interaction Phenomena in Wind-Turbine Blades

Ponta F.L., Otero A.D., Lago L.I., Michigan Technological University, US

Limitations in the current blade technology constitute a technological barrier that needs to be broken in order to continue the improvement in wind-energy cost. Blade manufacturing is mostly based on composite laminates, which is labor-intensive [...]

CMOS Architectures for NOR & NAND Logic Gates Using Single Electron Transistors

Venkataratnam A., Goel A.K., Michigan Technological University, US

Single electron transistor is one of the nano devices suitable for developing nano-scale logic circuits. In this paper, CMOS architectures for NOR and NAND gates have been proposed and their operational characteristics have been verified [...]

Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulation of Defect-Mediated Organization in Quantum Dot Self-Assembly

Gao D., Kaczynski A., Jaszczak J.A., Michigan Technological University, US

A good understanding of quantum dot (QD) self assembly not only has the potential to augment standard materials patterning technologies but also has applications in industrial nanostructure fabrications. Many observations and insights about self-assembled quantum [...]
