Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a direct beam writing technique for nanoand micro-structures. By proper selection of the precursor gas, which is dissociated in the focus of the electron beam, different functionalities of the resulting deposits can be obtained. This contribution discusses nano-granular FEBID materials. Quite generally, nano-granular metals can be considered a...

Structural distortions in nano-materials can induce dramatic changes in their electronic properties. This situation is well manifested in graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb structure of carbon atoms with only one atomic layer thickness. In particular, strained graphene can result in both charging effects and pseudo-magnetic fields, so that controlled strain on a perfect graphene lattice can ...

Nowadays electronic structure theory gives a microscopic foundation of material science and provides atomistic simulations in which electrons are treated as wavefunction within quantum mechanics. An example is given in the upper left panel of Fig.1. For years, we have developed fundamental theory and program code for large-scale electronic structure calculations, particularly, for nano material...

We propose the nano-scale displacement sensor with high resolution for weak-force systems could be realized based on vertical stacked two-dimensional (2D) atomic corrugated layer materials bound through Van der Waals (VdW) interaction. Using first-principles calculations, we found the electronic structure of bi-layer blue phosphorus (BLBP) varies appreciably to both the lateral and vertical int...

Newly emerging experimental techniques such as nano-ARPES are expected to provide an opportunity to measure the electronic properties of nano-materials directly. However, the interpretation of the spectra is not simple because it must consider quantum mechanical effects related to the measurement process itself. Here, we demonstrate a novel approach that can overcome this problem by using an ad...

The rapid development of numerous microscale electronic devices, such as smart dust, micro or nano bio-sensors, medical implants and so on, has induced an urgent demand for integratable micro or nano battery supplies with high energy and power densities. In this work, 3D hexagonal bottle-like Si/Ge composite nanorod (NR) array electrodes with good uniformity and mechanical stability potentially...

ISSN 2250 – 1088 | © 2011 Bonfring Abstract--This paper presents a high-Q MWCNT (Multi Wall Carbon Nano-Tube) network based pulse-shaped on-chip embedded nano-inductor for power electronic circuits. This high-Q inductor is fabricated using a composite of MWCNT (multi Wall Carbon Nano Tube) network and Fe in semiconductor processing environment. A layer of nano composite film (Cu/CoFe2o4) is pat...

In this work, the electronic properties of BP and CSi Nano cones have been investigated by self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) method in water solvent at B3PW91/6-31G (d,p) level of DFT theory for study of  for interactions of 5-Fluorouracil Anticancer Drug with theses Nano cones. The percent of change of energy gap (%ΔEg) shows that the complex formation of 5-Fluorouracil with BP ...

A self aligned nano scale gap between multiple metal layers has been fabricated using a newly developed technique of controlled undercut and metallization (CUM), and applied for the assembly of an individual carbon nanotube (CNT). The new method enables conventional optical lithography to fabricate nano-gap electrodes and self aligned patterns with nano scale precision. Individual CNTs were ass...
