Morphological Consequence of Sonication on Lignin-CNT-Epoxy Composite

Thomas D., Edwards J., Parker R., Ku C.-L., Bryan D., Liao Y-H, Liang R., Florida A & M University, US

This project will utilize SEM and molecular modeling analysis to determine morphological consequences of presonication time on lignin particle size and the joint sonication of lignin with CNT. The investigation will yield a more fundamental [...]

The Effect of Source/Drain Extension Asymmetry on the Leakage Current of Ohmicly-contacted Carbon Nanotube FETs

Alam K., Lake R., University of California Riverside, US

The geometry dependence of the leakage current by modeling the effect of source/drain extension asymmetry on the leakage current of CNTFETs with 20 nm wrap-around gates is investigated. The symmetric geometry has the highest leakage [...]

Centimetre-Long Carbon Nanotubes from Ethanol Decomposition

Zheng L.X., O'Connell M.J., Doorn S.K., Liao X.Z., Zhao Y.H., Hoffbauer M.A., Jia Q.X., Peterson D.E., Liu J., Zhu Y.T., Los Alamos National Lab, US

A simple method was found to grow 4 cm long CNTs, which will enable heigh-strength and light-weight materials in prictical applications. These long CNTs are almost defect-free along the entire length. giving a bright future [...]
