The search for alternate information processing technologies to sustain Moore’s Law improvements beyond those attainable by scaling of charge-based devices encompasses several key technologies. Some of these technologies were explored at the Third Workshop on Silicon Nanoelectronics and Beyond (SNB III) held at the National Science Foundation in Washington DC in December 2005. They included: (1...

We perform first-principles calculations to investigate pressure induced topological phase transitions in the half-Heusler compound AgSrBi its bulk and 2D phases. propose for applications thermoelectrics, spintronics nanoelectronics.

Current semiconductor technology is projected to reach its physical limit in about a decade. To satisfy the ever-growing consumer desire for small, high-speed, low-power, and “all-in-one” devices, scientists and engineers are actively seeking solutions to continue technology trends into the future. Nanotechnology, with wide electronics applications, promises breakthroughs for the future. The fu...

The simulation tools and resources available at nanoHUB.org offer significant opportunities for both research and education in computational nanoelectronics. Users can run simulations on existing powerful computational tools rather than developing yet another niche simulator. The worldwide visibility of nanoHUB provides tool authors with an unparalleled venue for publishing their tools. We have...

A tremendous number of devices, a limitation of wiring, and very low power dissipation density are design constraints of future nanoelectronic circuits composed of quantum-effect devices. Furthermore, functional integration, which is the possibility of exploiting quantum effects to obtain a function specific behavior, becomes a core design principle. This paper analyzes the effect of this techn...

This Special Section of physica status solidi (a) covers presentations Symposium I held at the 2022 Fall-EMRS Meeting in Warsaw, Poland. Group-IV semiconductors, namely Si, Ge, Sn and their compounds, are most important materials micro- nanoelectronics but they will also play a key role future quantum devices. symposium aimed to share latest research field group-IV nanoelectronic Silicon (Si) i...

This paper presents a brief review of our recent work investigating a novel bottom-up approach to realize silicon-based nanoelectronics. We discuss fabrication technique, electronic properties, and device applications of silicon nanodots as a building block for various nanoscale silicon devices. r 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
