Monte Carlo Simulation of Impact of Random Telegraph Noise in 45 nm MOSFET Due to Coupled Effects of Random Interface and Oxide Traps With Random Channel Dopant Distributions

Ashraf N.S., Vasileska D., Ma Z., Arizona State University, US

This paper presents a 3-D Ensemble Monte Carlo ( EMC ) based simulation for 45 nm gate length MOSFET to account for the fluctuations in drain current (saturation) and threshold voltage as causes of reliability [...]

Crystalline/amorphous silicon core/shell nanowires under external loads: An atomistic simulation study

Meng Q., Jing Y., Harbin Institute of Technology, CN

The nanomechanical properties of Si/a-Si core-shell NWs are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations with EDIP model. Under uniaxial compressive and tensile loading, the computed Young’s modulus increases as the radius of crystalline core increases and [...]

Structural and magnetic Properties of electrochemically grown Co-Fe and Ni-Fe alloy nanowire arrays

Pandya D.K., Kaur D., Chaudhary S., Kashyap S.C., IIT Delhi, IN

Magnetic nanowires are of immense importance in ultrahigh density magnetic storage media, micromagnetic sensors in read heads and spintronics devices. The nanowires of binary alloys of ferromagnetic metals like Co, Ni and Fe are particularly [...]

MOCVD Preparation and photoluminiscence of ZnS nanowires

Juarez F., Juarez J.M., Juarez F., Juarez J.M., Instituto Politecnico Nacional, MX

In this communication, we report a facile solution route to synthesize single crystalline wurtzite ZnS nanowires at low temperature (170 °C) using MOCVD system. Observations on the microstructure of the as-synthesized ZnS by high-resolution electron [...]

Novel metal nanoslit by dewetting of thermally activated Au film on CNT

It has been studied by many research groups to fabricate nano-sized hole or slit array of metal film. By using various fabrication methods, such as photolithography, and nano-imprint, have been studied. However, there still remain [...]

Characterization of Nanostructured Phenolic and Epoxy Composites Under Pulse Laser Degradation

Young S., Kumar A., Ludwick A., Aglan H., Tuskegee University, US

Phenolic and epoxy nanocomposites were fabricated and exposed to pulsed laser. The nanoreinforcements were alumina nanofibers (ANF) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The loading of the nanoreinforcement was kept the same for both the epoxy [...]

The Potential of Silicon-Based Ligands in Metal-Organic Frameworks

Jumabekov A., Imperial College, UK

The synthesis and characterisation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on metal centres linked by silicon-containing ligands and the investigation for their ability to take up small magnetically active molecules in order to look at the [...]
