Nanoelectromechanical systems based on multi-walled nanotubes: nanothermometer, nanorelay and nanoactuator
We report on three new types of nanoelectromechanical systems based on carbon nanotubes: an electromechanical nanothermometer, a nanorelay and a nanomotor. The nanothermometer can be used for accurate temperature measurements in spatially localized regions with dimensions of several hundred nanometers. The nanorelay is a prototype of a memory cell, and the nanoactuator can be used for transform...
متن کاملDissipation and fluctuations in nanoelectromechanical systems based on carbon nanotubes.
The tribological characteristics of nanotube-based nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) exemplified by a gigahertz oscillator are studied. Various factors that influence the tribological properties of nanotube-based NEMS are quantitatively analyzed with the use of molecular dynamics calculations of the quality factor (Q-factor) of the gigahertz oscillator. We demonstrate that commensurability o...
متن کاملNanoelectromechanical Systems from Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene
Carbon nanotubes and graphene have many interesting properties. To exploit the properties in applications their synthesis and incorporation in devices has to be understood and controlled. This thesis is based on experimental studies on synthesis of carbon nanotubes and fabrication of nanoelectromechanical systems from carbon nanotubes and graphene. Vertically aligned nanotube arrays with height...
متن کاملA multi-walled carbon nanotube-aluminum bimorph nanoactuator.
A multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) bimorph nanoactuator has been modeled, fabricated and characterized. A thin aluminum film was uniformly deposited on the sidewalls of MWNTs using a pulsed laser deposition method to create the bimorph nanostructure. For a temperature change from 290 to 690 K with measured dimensions of 100 +/- 20 nm for the MWNT diameter, 40 +/- 10 nm for the Al thickness, ...
متن کاملGlucose Biosensors Based on Vertically-Aligned Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes
Vertically-aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (VA-MWCNTs) were grown using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique. These VA-MWCNTs were then dip coated by Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) followed by annealing. Samples were then polished to expose the tips of CNTs. Biological molecules Glucose Oxidase (GOx) were then immobilized on the exposed tips of these nanoelectrode e...
