Sustainable and Versatile Functionalization of Graphene Layers
Graphene layers were functionalized by using a sustainable, versatile, easily scalable method. Functionalizing agents were prepared through the reaction of a dicarbonyl compound with a variety of primary amines and were mixed and heated in [...]
Microscopic Identification of Micro-Fractures and Deterioration In Arid Environments Of Pro-Oxidant Polyethylene (PE) Specimens Utilizing State of The Art Thermal and Morphological Experimental Protocols
Al-Salem S.M., Al-Hazza A.A., Al-Rowaih A.A., Al-Dhafeeri A.T., Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, KW
Pro-oxidant filled polyethylene (PE) specimens in standard and internationally accepted dimensions and size, were exposed to arid natural and accelerated weathering conditions. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) protocols for weathering were followed, [...]
A Programmable Transmission Electron Detector for Nanomaterials Characterization in a Scanning Electron Microscope
A new programmable detector for scanning transmission electron microscopy (p-STEM) is described. A digital micromirror array lies at the heart of the detector and serves as a programmable virtual objective aperture. Two sensors, a photomultiplier [...]
Determining Elastic-Plastic Material Properties Using Instrumented Indentation Test and Finite Element Simulation
A new technique that can determine the elastic-plastic properties of metallic materials using the instrumented indentation test and finite element simulation is developed. This non-destructive technique can be applied to additively manufactured and/or surface treated [...]
Curvature Change Analysis of SMART Fibers used for Temperature Adaptive Insulation
A thermally adaptive insulation has previously been developed by the US Army. The insulation is designed to expand at lower temperatures and shrink at higher temperatures. This is accomplished using multi-component polymer fibers that are [...]
Characterization of Magnesium Silicide Stannide Powder for use in Selective Laser Melting
This study examines magnesium silicide stannide (Mg2Si0.4Sn0.6) powder, a thermoelectric material optimal for high temperature applications. Powder morphology and particle size distribution were analyzed through optical microscopy and the image analysis software FIJI. The ability [...]
Hybrid Process Design Kit: Single-Chip Monolithic III-V/Si Cascode GaN-HEMT
In this paper, we present the design of a cascode GaN-HEMT (CGH) structure in the monolithic integration of III-V/Si fabrication platform to fabricate monolithic III-V/Si CGH structures on a single chip by using hybrid process [...]
A turn‐on DC surface‐potential‐based drain current model for fully‐depleted poly‐Si thin film transistors
A turn‐on DC surface‐potential‐based drain current model for fully‐depleted polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors is developed based on the charge sheet model considering both deep and tail acceptor trap states in the grain boundary and [...]
Unified Compact Model for Gate All Around FETs- Nanosheets, Nanowires, Multi Bridge Channel MOSFETs
Kushwaha P., Duarte J.P., Lin Y-K., Agarwal H., Chang H-L, Sachid A., Salahuddin S., Chauhan Y.S., Hu C., University of California Berkeley USA, US
FinFET is in mass production for its capability of scaling below 20nm. Thin silicon Fin surrounded by gate provides a superior channel electrostatics resulting in higher on current (Ion) and better subthreshold swing. The same [...]
