Interfacial Studies of CrSi2/ HfO2 thin films as High k Metal Gate Dielectric layer on SiC devices

Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, US

High k dielectric metal oxide films have attracted much attention as promising candidates in place of SiO2. The use of high –k/metal gate technology will provide cost, performance and power savings. To increase the capacitance [...]

Nanostructured Stearic Acid for Gas sensing applications

Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, US

In this paper we report the fabrication of long chain polymer molecule Stearic Acid by physical vapor deposition method. Thin films of stearic acid are characterized by X-ray diffraction for the crystalline quality and by [...]

CdSe Nanoparticles in Silica Matrix by Sol Gel method

Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., Hullavarad N., Hullavarad S., University of Alaska Fairbanks, US

‘Quantum dots’ or nanoparticles of diverse semiconductor materials are extensively studied because of their interesting size dependent properties. It is further interesting to organize the quantum dots in the form of superlattices thin films, monolithics, [...]

Comparison of Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamic Performance of Nanofluids

Kulkarni D.P., Namburu P.K., Das D.K., University of Alaska Fairbanks, US

Many recent studies have shown that nanofluids with metallic nanoparticles as suspension increase the thermal conductivity of base fluid by a substantial amount. Research on copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles in water has revealed that a [...]
