Nanoscale Analysis of Bone Mineral Crystals

Chen H., Robinson C., Shore R.C., Brookes S.J., Zhang J., Smith D.A., Clarkson B.H., Kirkham J., University of Michigan, US

The mineral component of both bones and teeth comprises of crystals of calcium hydroxyapatite. However, there are very few studies which have characterised and compared individual crystals from these mineralised tissues at the nanoscale. In [...]

Nano-Diamond compressibility at pressures up to 85 GPa

Pantea C., Zhang J., Qian J., Zhao Y., Migliori A., Grzanka E., Palosz B., Wang Y., Zerda T.W., Liu H., Ding Y., Stephens P.W., Botez C.E., Los Alamos National Laboratory, US

According to the core-shell model nanocrystals consist of a uniform core surrounded by a surface shell. Crystallographic structure of the surface shell is the same as that of the core but interatomic distances in the [...]

Synthesis and Electrical Characterization of Silicon Nanoparticles for Electronic Applications

Gopireddy D., Takoudis C.G., Gamota D., Zhang J., Brazis P.W., University of Illinois - Chicago, US

In an effort to assess their potential for future nanoelectronic devices, we have fabricated silicon nanoparticles field effect transistors with nanoparticles as the active channel. The nanoparticles of 10-20 nm diameters are grown on a [...]

Impedance Characterization of Dielectric and Semiconducting Materials with Organic Capacitors for Organic Transistors

Li C.M., Pan L.K., Sun C.Q., Zhang J., Gamota D., Nanyang Technological University, SG

Characterization of the properties of OFET materials and devices have been conducted by I-V or C-V curves that used in MOS devices for provide information of basic shape, threshold voltage, mobility effects, velocity saturation, scaling, [...]

Fabrication of Silicon Nanowires Using Atomic Layer Deposition

Gopireddy D., Takoudis C.G., Gamota D., Zhang J., Brazis P.W., University of Illinois at Chicago, US

We will present the synthesis of silicon nanowires using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technique. ALD allows the growth of nanowires in a controlled fashion using the nanoparticles as the seed. The diameter and the length [...]
