Dielectric performance of Polymer Nanocomposites Synthesized by Atmospheric-pressure Plasma-treated Silica Nanoparticles

Yan W., University of New South Wales, AU

The incorporation of nanoparticles can effectively enhance the dielectric performance of polymers. However, the organic-inorganic incompatibility prevents the nanocomposites from obtaining the desired properties. To overcome this issue, coupling agents have been used to coat [...]

Highly Luminescent Quantum Dots: New Tools for Biological Applications

Mirnajafizadeh F., Wang F., Reece P., Stride J.A., University of New South Wales, AU

Quantum dots (QDs) are a special class of nano particles with unique optical properties. They are very good candidate materials for medical and biological applications. In order to apply QDs to biological systems, they should [...]

Development of a silicon-based quantum cellular automata cell

Mitic M., Cassidy M.C., Petersson K.D., Gauja E., Starrett R.P., Brenner R., Yang C., Jamieson D.N., Clark R.G., Dzurak A.S., University of New South Wales, AU

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) [1] represent a potential paradigm shift in computation, offering elegant solutions to the critical problems of device density, interconnection and power dissipation. To date QCA cells have been experimentally demonstrated in [...]

Atomic-control Placement of Individual P atoms in Si for the Fabrication of a Quantum Computer Qubit Array

Schofield S.R., Curson N.J., Simmons M.Y., Hallam T., Ruess F.J., Oberbeck L., Clark R.G., University of New South Wales, AU

The ability to control the location of individual dopant atoms within a semiconductor has enormous potential for the creation of atomic-scale electronic devices. One of the most ambitious proposals for such a device is the [...]
