Sub-wavelength metal nanostructure fabrication by parallel dip-pen nanolithography

Jang J-W, Nettikadan S., NanoInk Inc, US

Metal nanostructures in sub-wavelength scale have attracted interests in materials engineering and optics research. Metal nanostructures in sub-wavelength scale have been used as plasmonic diffraction gratings and negative index metamaterials. E-beam lithography has been commonly [...]

A New QCA Architecture for the Future of Nano-Scale Computing

Hook IV L.R., Lee S-C, University of Oklahoma, US

By the time CMOS reaches its physical scaling limits in the next several years, computing will have very likely evolved to meet the demands imposed with increases in application complexity and the processing of enormous [...]

REMD toolkit : A Composable Software to Generate Parallelized Simulation Programs

Ito M., Nagashima U., AIST, JP

We developed a toolkit to generate a replica exchange method program which is suitable to solve the multiple-minima problem that prevents the accurate estimation of thermodynamical quantities. The toolkit was designed as a set of [...]

Three-Dimensional Simulation of AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs Gradual Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor

García-Loureiro A.J., Pena T.F., Prat Viñas Ll., Univ. Santiago de Compostela, ES

In this work we present the results of the simulation of AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs gradual heterojunction bipolar transistor using a parallel three-dimensional semiconductor device simulator. This simulator is based on drift-diffusion transport model. In order to solve [...]
