Electronic Properties of Gaphitic Surfaces with Adsorbed Aromatic Amino Acids

Roman C., Ciontu F., Courtois B., Tima Laboratory, FR

The electronic properties of aromatic amino acids physisorbed on graphene are investigated in view of establishing if carbon nanotube transconductance sensors can respond to this type of chemical stimuli. Several conclusions are drawn regarding both [...]

A Carbon Nanotube-Based Sensor for Measuring Forces Developed by Cells

Roman C., Ciontu F., Courtois B., Tima Laboratory, FR

We propose and validate through atomistic modeling and simulation a novel carbon nanotube-based sensor for measuring forces in the pico-Newton range, distributed over lengths ranging from nano-meters up to micro-meters. The mechanical behavior is modeled [...]

Information Coding for Intramolecular Integration of Logic Functionality

Ciontu F., Roman C., Courtois B., Tima Laboratory, FR

Although molecular electronics has a great potential, the feasibility of this technology will be however conditioned by the possibility of building complex circuits. But while on the technological versant rapid progresses have been accomplished during [...]
