Bi-Layer Graphene Nanoribbon Memory with Graphene Nanoflake Shuttle

Kwon O-K., Kang J-W, Lee J-H., Semyung University, KR

We investigated the dynamic properties of graphene-nanoribbon (GNR) memory encapsulating graphene-nanoflake (GNF) shuttle in the potential to be applicable as a non-volatile random access memory via molecular dynamics simulations. This work explicitly demonstrates that the [...]

The Effects of Dwell_time of Monopolar Waveform on Droplet Formation through the Analysis of Fluid Propagation Direction

Wu C.H., Hwang W-S, National Cheng Kung University, TW

For inkjet printing, the fluid dynamics in a capillary tube caused by the movement of the piezoelectric material is essential due to the need to adjust the voltage pulse waveform, but it has seldom been [...]

A novel simulation methodology for full chip-package thermo-mechanical reliability investigations

Karunamurthy B., Ostermann T., Bhattacharya M., KAI Kompetenzzentrum Automobil- und Industrieelektronik GmbH, AT

A methodology for simulating the accurate structural details of a non-planarized technology chips is presented. This approach uses a virtual semiconductor fabrication technique to create geometry and finite element mesh on complex chip topology features. [...]

Doping-less Bipolar Transistor with fT Surpassing that of Conventional BJT

Nadda K., Jagadesh Kumar M., Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, IN

An innovative ultrathin SOI based bipolar charge plasma transistor BCPT for RF circuit applications is presented in this paper. The proposed device structure exhibits high cut-off frequency and an improved current drive while still maintaining [...]

Computer modeling of water and salt transport in RO membrane active layers

Pitera J.W., Na Y.-H., Vora A., Dubois G., IBM Research, US

As part of a combined computational and experimental effort to develop new reverse osmosis desalination membrane materials, we have carried out detailed equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of the aromatic polyamide active layers of [...]

Eslamian M., Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, US

Modeling of spray coating process of thin film solar cells is investigated.

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Sensor-Enabled Geosynthetics

Hatami K., Yazdani H., Hawa T., Grady B.P., University of Oklahoma, US

Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are used to examine selected mechanical and electrical properties of Sensor-Enabled Geosynthetics (SEG) samples. Dreiding force field is adopted for the simulations which are carried out in the LAMMPS© environment. The [...]

Research on Non-linear Vibration in Micro-machined Resonant Accelerometer

Shuming Z., Yunfeng L., Fan W., Jingxin D., Tsinghua University, CN

This paper analyses the non-linear vibration of the Silicon Oscillating Accelerometer (SOA) by system modeling and simulation, and the optimization designation to weaken the influence of the nonlinear vibration are proposed. With the decreasing of [...]
