Annealing effects on electrical and optical properties of

Faraz S.M., NED University of Engineering & Technology, PK

Annealing effects on the electrical and optical properties of ZnO nanorods/Si heterojunction diodes are studied. ZnO nanorods are grown on p-Si substrate by aquous chemical growth (ACG) method .As grown samples were annealed at 400 [...]

Parylene Polymers for Nanotechnology Applications

Kumar R., Greiner A., Specialty Coating Systems, US

During the past several years, Parylene polymers have been considered an integral part of micro devices by many biomedical engineering researchers as devices are made of Parylene through MEMs technology. In advancing Parylenes applications further [...]

Molecular Fan: A Heat Sink for Nanoelectronic Devices

Sizemore C.A., Recchia M.L., Kim T., Lin C-T, Northern Illinois University, US

Currently, electrical components are cooled by conduction of heat to a heat sink, which is cooled by convection in air. The warm air is then removed from the system using a mechanical fan. As technology [...]

BioMOCA: A Transport Monte Carlo Approach to Ion Channel Simulation

van der Straaten T.A., Kathawala G., Ravaioli U., Beckman Institute, University of Illinois, US

Ion channels are highly charged proteins found in the cell membrane, which regulate ion transport to the cell. Most channels switch between conducting and non-conducting states and many can selectively transmit or block a particular [...]
