Directed Growth of Carbon Nanotubes Utilizing Plasma Induced Surface Charging Voltage

Law J.B.K., Koo C.K., Thong J.T.L., National University of Singapore, SG

In this work, we present a method for directed lateral growth of CNTs between electrodes on a substrate during an in-situ CNT growth process, by utilizing plasma induced charging inherent in a Radio Frequency (RF) [...]

Solving Electric Field in Combined Conductor and Dielectric Devices

Chen Z.J., Przekwas A., Athavale M., Zhou N., CFD Research Coorporation, US

In the design and simulation of micro/nano device areas, it becomes more and more important to obtain, fast and accurate, transient electric field solutions in combined conductor/dielectric materials. The time characteristics for such transient process [...]

The effect of electric field on the surface of nanoparticles (TiO2 & SiO2) and its application to retardation of membrane fouling

Park S-E, Park S-J, Ry D-Y, Kwak J-W, Lee S-W., Park S-E, Park S-J, Associate Professor, Kyungwon University, KR
