چکیده

The structural, coordinative, photochemical and electrochemical properties of the porphyrin macrocycle that make them the functional element of choice in ubiquitous biological systems, e.g., chlorophyll, cytochrome P450 and hemoglobin, also contribute to making porphyrins and metalloporphyrins desirable in a "bottom-up" approach to the construction of nanosized devices. This paper highlights some recent advances in the construction of supramolecular assemblies based on the porphyrin macrocycle that display optically readable functions as a result of photonic or chemical stimuli.

Sensitivity of Ion Absorption of Room Temperature Operating Single Electron Transistors

Nanoelectronic devices form the building blocks of the nanoscaled systems and require innovative technologies for their realization. Single Electron Transistors (SET) is a novel class of nano transistor which operates on the principle of Coulomb blockade. Coulomb blockade effects become dominant when the device dimensions approach few nano-meters. The SET devices are potential candidates for ap...

Domain-wall induced phase shifts in spin waves.

We study the interaction between two important features of ferromagnetic nanoparticles: magnetic domain walls and spin waves. Micromagnetic simulations reveal that magnetostatic spin waves change their phase as they pass through domain walls. Similar to an Aharonov-Bohm experiment, we suggest to probe this effect by splitting the waves on different branches of a ring. The interference of mergin...

High Bandwidth Devices: Faster Materials versus Nanoscaled Si and SiGe

We explore the use of InAs as an alternative to nanoscaled Si for future generations of high bandwidth MOSFET-based circuits. InAs has a high electron mobility. Its vsat is theoretically 20 times higher than silicon's. Our modeling shows that an HBT could achieve fT and fmax approaching 1 THz for an emitter-base and collector-base dimension of 0.5 μm x 4.0 μm (2 μm). A simple MOSFET model predi...

Novel Porphyrinic Porous Organic Frameworks for High Performance Separation of Small Hydrocarbons

A series of Porphyrinic-CTF materials are synthesized under ionothermal condition with high surface areas (>3200 m(2)/g) and tunable pore sizes. The ZnP-CTFs exhibit high adsorption capacities and selectivity towards C₃H₈, and C₂H₆ over CH₄ as IAST prediction. Furthermore, we explore the utility of ZnP-CTF for gas chromatographic separation of the small hydrocarbons mixture based on their diffe...
