the present paper investigates the potential application of graphene sheets with attached nanoparticles as resonant sensors by introducing a nonlocal shear deformation plate model. to take into account an elastic connection between the nanoplate and the attached nanoparticle, the nanoparticle is considered as a mass-spring system. then, a combination of pseudo-spectral and integral quadrature m...

A recent trend in plasma etching of semi-conductors has been the move towards discharge operation at low pressures of 2-20 mTorr. At these conditions the electron distribution functions shows modest but signi cant deviations from a fully nonlocal distribution. We have developed a model which addresses this regime of modest deviations from the nonlocal case with an efcient numerical scheme to so...
