Growth of 3C-SiC Nanowires on Nickel Coated Si(100) Substrate using Dichloromethylvinylsilane and Diethylmethylsilane by MOCVD Method

Kang B.-C., Hyun J.S., Boo J.-H., Sungkyunkwan University, KR

3C-SiC nanowires have been deposited on nickel coated Si(100) substrates using single source precursors by thermal metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method. Dichloromethylvinylsilane (CH2CHSiC(CH3)Cl2) and diethylmethylsilane (CH3 SiH(C2H5)2) were used as a single precursor without [...]

Wire-Streaming Processors on 2-D Nanowire Fabrics

Wang T., Ben-Naser M., Guo Y., Andras Moritz C., University of Massachusetts at Amherst, US

In this paper, we describe our initial architectural designs based on nanowires (NWs). We call our initial integrated circuit systems Wire-Streaming Processors (WISP) because in these designs, in order to preserve the density advantages of [...]

A Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Multi-wall Platinum Nanowires

Cheng Q.H., Lee H.P., Lu C., Koh S.J., Institute of High Performance Computing, SG

This paper aims to study structural formation and mechanical properties of platinum (Pt) Nanowire (NW) using the classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. A type of multi-shell Pt NWs is obtained from the simulations. These [...]

Metal-oxide Nanowires for Toxic Gas Detection

Devineni D.P., Stormo S., Kempf W., Schenkel J., Behanan R., Lea S., Galipeau D.W., South Dakota State University, US

The objective of this work was to determine the feasibility of using EFEO to fabricate indium-oxide nanowires that could be used for sensing NO2 and O3. The effects of fabrication parameters such as indium film [...]

A Gate Layout Technique for Area Reduction in Nano-Wire Circuit Design

Hashempour H., Lombardi F., LTX Corp., US

An strategy for developing integrated circuits with many individual nanodevices has yet to be formulated. This paper presents an homogeneous (array-based) approach for designing and manufacturing digital circuits using nanotubes or nanowires. By targeting contacts [...]

Surface Reactions of Linear Atomic Metal Wire Complexes

Lung C-H, Chang C-C, National Taiwan University, TW

The communication among nanostructures and between these structures and the outside world becomes very critical as the key features in electronics devices continue to shrink in the double-digit nanometer regime. To explore the possible formation [...]

Platinum Nanowire Actuator: Metallic Artificial Muscles

Lu S., Sivakumar K., Panchapakesan B., University of Delaware, US

In this paper, we have fabricated platinum nanowires by using carbon nanotube as templates and have shown its applications for nanoactuation using electro-chemical actuation techniques.The strain response of the nanowire is measured and a total [...]

A Novel Electrochemical Nitric Oxide Sensor: Aligned RuO2 Nanowires Deposited on Pt filament

Wang C.Y., Liu J., Piantadosi C.A., Allen B.W., Duke University, US

We fabricated a novel electrochemical NO sensor by depositing aligned ruthenium oxide (RuO2) nanowires on a fine Pt filament. This device exhibited a high current density and a low detection limit for NO in aqueous [...]
