Fabrication of electrical microfluidic chip for electroporation of mammalian cells

Shahini M., Wijngaarden F.V., Yeow J.T.W., University of Waterloo, CA

The point of this paper is to demonstrate the use of a quick and cheap fabrication method to realize a laser-ablated microfluidic channel for single cell electroporation. Traditional lithography of microchannel with electrode in MEMS [...]

Field Emission Properties of Carbon Nanotube Arrays with Defects and Impurities

Roy Mahapatra D., Sinha N., Melnik R., Yeow J.T.W., University of Waterloo, CA

Field emission from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the form of arrays or thin films give rise to several strongly correlated process of electromechanical interaction and degradation. Such processes are mainly due to (1) electron-phonon interaction [...]

Design Optimization of Field Emission from a Stacked Carbon Nanotube Array

Roy Mahapatra D., Sinha N., Melnik R., Yeow J.T.W., University of Waterloo, CA

Field emission (FE) from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on a cathode substrate is difficult to characterize using simple formulae or data fitting, which is due to (1) electron-phonon interaction (2) electromechanical force field leading to [...]

Modeling the Field Emission Current Fluctuation in Carbon Nanotube Thin Films

Sinha N., Roy Mahapatra D., Yeow J.T.W., Melnik R., University of Waterloo, CA

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are currently among the best field emitters for a variety of technological applications. However, from mathematical viewpoint, approach towards understanding the physics of nanotube based field emission of a thin film is [...]
