Physical Properties of Metal Coated Polymer Particles for Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive

Zhang Z.L., He J.Y., Kristiansen H., Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO

Metalized and monodisperse polymer particles with diameter ranging from 0.5 to 30 µm are increasingly used in developing new electrical packaging technology, such as Anisotropic Conductive Adhesives (ACA) in Flat Panel Displays (FPDs). In these [...]

Use of Nanofilters for the Control of Polution from the Industrial Chimneys

Agarwal R., Katiyar V.K., Tewari P., Indian Institute of Technology, IN

The objective of this study is to elaborate the use of nano filters for controlling the pollution of the industries coming out of the chimneys. The nano filters allow small gaseous molecules to pass trough [...]

Fabrications of Bifunctional Janus and Triblock Saturn Colloids

Lin C.C., Ho C.-C., Chang C-C, Kuo C., National Cheng Kung University, TW

A synthetic approach for the fabrications of Janus and Saturn colloids was demonstrated by the sequential embedment and surface modification of silica colloids. Electrospinning of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP) blends produced polymer [...]

Pulsed laser co-deposition of titania with Fe: chemistry, local atomic structure, and light-dependent magnetic properties

Negrila C., Logofatu C., Socol G., Macovei D., Teodorescu C.-M., National Institute of Materials Physics, RO

Transition metal doped titania has been revealed as a promising diluted magnetic semiconductor. We report the synthesis of TiO2:Fe and of mixed Ti and Fe oxides by pulsed laser deposition. The obtained layers were analyzed [...]

Flexible Morphology Control of Nanotube Arrays from Glancing Angle Deposition

Huang Z.F., Harris K.D., Brett M.J., University of Alberta, CA

Recently, silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) have attracted considerable attention. However, it has been challenging to grow SiNTs without any template. Another challenge is to engineer the shape of SiNTs, which to date has been limited mostly [...]

Synthesis and Characterization of Anodized Titanium Oxide Nanotubes Arrays

Hu M.Z., Lai P., Bhuiyan M.S., Tsouris C., Gu B., Paranthaman M.P., Gabitto J., Prairie View A&M University, US

Anodized titanium oxide containing highly ordered, vertically oriented TiO2 nanotube arrays is a nanomaterial architecture that shows promise for diverse applications. In this paper, an anodization synthesis using HF-free aqueous solutions is described. The anodized [...]

Influence of grain’s morphology and their distribution on surface, electronic and magnetic properties of nanocrystalline Sn1-xCoxO2 Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors

Sreenivas K., Venugopal Reddy P., Osmania University, IN

With a view to understand not only the nanosize dependent properties of microstructure and electronic properties, but also to study the correlations between the surface effects associated with the magnetic nano-particles, especially the changes in [...]

Solution-processed ZnO Single Nanoparticle Transistor Using Water-based Dispersions

Wolff K., Hilleringmann U., University of Paderborn, DE

The integration of printable transistors is an issue of recent work. Different proposals base on ZnO nanoparticle inks, which have to undergo a post-deposition annealing in order to improve the film quality and burn away [...]

An Analytical Solution to a Double-Gate MOSFET with Doped Body

Agarwal N., Bandhawakar G., Amity School of Engineering & Technology, Amity University, IN

ABSTRACT A CMOS scaling is approaching the limit imposed by gate oxide tunneling. Double gate MOSFET (DGMOSFET) with undoped body has become very attractive for scaling CMOS devices down to nanometer size. Device simulation predict [...]

Selective Multiterminal Sensor on Individual ZnO Nanotetrapod

Lupan O., Chow L., Chai G., Trofim V., University of Central Florida, US

Low-cost, nonpoisonous and highly sensitive and selective sensors are needed for detection of various gases in the environment. ZnO tetrapod have potential application as chemical sensors. Our current experiments have shown that ZnO tetrapod sensor [...]
