Frequency Modulated Charge Pumping with Extremely High Gate Leakage

February 13, 2015
Author(s)
Jason T. Ryan, Jibin Zou, Jason P. Campbell, Richard Southwick, Kin P. Cheung, Anthony Oates, Rue Huang
Charge pumping (CP) has proven itself as one of the most utilitarian methods to quantify defects in metal-oxide-semiconductor devices. In the presence of low to moderate gate leakage, CP quantification is most often implemented via a series of measurements

Reducing Block Copolymer Interfacial Widths through Polymer Additives

February 10, 2015
Author(s)
Daniel F. Sunday, Regis J. Kline
There is a need to design new materials to achieve smaller pitches and reduced interfacial widths for use in the nanopatterning of block copolymers (BCPs). One option is the use of blends, where the addition of a homopolymer which selectively associates to

Critical Examination of the Colloidal Particle Model of Globular Proteins

February 3, 2015
Author(s)
Prasad S. Sarangapani, Steven D Hudson, Ronald L. Jones, Jack F. Douglas, Jai A. Pathak
Recent studies of globular protein solutions have uniformly adopted a colloidal view of proteins as particles, a perspective that neglects the polymeric primary structure of these biological macromolecules, their intrinsic flexibility and their ability to

Citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles do not impact neural progenitor cell development

January 5, 2015
Author(s)
Kavita M. Jeerage, Tammy L. Oreskovic, Alexandra Curtin, Aric W. Sanders, Rani K. Schwindt, Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay
Gold nanoparticles are promising candidates for medical diagnostics and therapeutics, due to their chemical stability, optical properties, and ease of functionalization. Citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticle reference materials also have potential as

Materials Development for High Efficiency Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors

January 1, 2015
Author(s)
Adriana E. Lita, Varun B. Verma, Robert D. Horansky, Jeffrey M. Shainline, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) based on ultra-thin films have become the preferred technology for applications that require high efficiency single-photon detectors with high speed, high timing resolution, and low dark count rates

Particle-based simulation of nanoscale systems and materials

January 1, 2015
Author(s)
Alexander Y. Smolyanitsky, Vinod K. Tewary
This book chapter is focused on the introduction of molecular dynamics (MD) and molecular statics (MS), as well as some of their uses for studying the thermomechanical and (indirectly) electronic properties at the nanoscale. We first introduce the general

Tailor-Made Polyamide Membranes for Water Desalination

December 30, 2014
Author(s)
Edwin P. Chan, Wansuk Chol, Joona Bang, Jong Suk Lee, Jung-Hyun Lee, Joung-Eun Gu
Independent control over the extrinsic and intrinsic properties of the polyamide selective layer is critical when designing water desalination reverse osmosis (RO) membranes with performance characteristics required for water purification applications

Influence of Metal?MoS2 Interface on MoS2 Transistor Performance: Comparison of Ag and Ti Contacts

December 16, 2014
Author(s)
Hui H. Yuan, Guangjun Cheng, Lin You, Haitao Li, Hao Zhu, Wei Li, Joseph J. Kopanski, Yaw S. Obeng, Angela R. Hight Walker, David J. Gundlach, Curt A. Richter, D. E. Ioannou, Qiliang Li
In this work, we present a study of enhancing MoS2 transistor performance by using proper metal contact. We found that the on-state current of MoS2 field-effect transistors with 30 nm Au/ 30 nm Ag contacts is enhanced more than 60 times and the

MECHANICS ANALYSIS OF MOLAR TOOTH SPLITTING

December 12, 2014
Author(s)
Amir Barani, Brian R. Lawn, Mark Bush, Herzl Chai
A model for the splitting of teeth from wedge loading of molar cusps from a round indenting object is presented. The model is developed in two parts: first, a simple 2D fracture mechanics configuration with the wedged tooth simulated by a compact tension
