Electronic Properties of Gaphitic Surfaces with Adsorbed Aromatic Amino Acids

Roman C., Ciontu F., Courtois B., Tima Laboratory, FR

The electronic properties of aromatic amino acids physisorbed on graphene are investigated in view of establishing if carbon nanotube transconductance sensors can respond to this type of chemical stimuli. Several conclusions are drawn regarding both [...]

Electronic Properties and Transport in Silicon Nanowires

Batra I.P., Ciani T., Boddupalli D., Soberano L., University of Illinois at Chicago, US

In an integrated silicon nanotechnology environment, it may be desirable to replace metallic inter-connects like Al, with Silicon metallic wires. This motivated us to investigate the electronic and transport properties of quasi one-dimensional (1D) Silicon [...]
