the surface and interfacial analysis of silicon oxide film on silicon substrate is particularly crucial in the nano-electronic devices. for this purpose, series of experiments have been demonstrated to grow oxide film on si (111) substrate. then these films have been used to study the structure of the film by using x-ray photo emission spectroscopy (xps) technique. the obtained results indicate...

The dimension of biomolecules is of few nanometers, so the biomolecular devices ought to be of that range so a better understanding about the performance of the electronic biomolecular devices can be obtained at nanoscale. Development of optical biomolecular device is a new move towards revolution of nano-bioelectronics. Optical biosensor is one of such nano-biomolecular devices that has a pote...

Recent years have witnessed considerable interest devoted to the electronic properties of graphene [1-3]. Graphene, a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb crystal, exhibits unique properties like high thermal conductivity, high electron mobility and optical transparency, and has the potential for use in nano-electronic and optoelectronic devices. With the size of these d...

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...

Nano-porous silicon were simply prepared from p-type single crystalline silicon wafer by electrochemical etching technique via exerting constant current density in two different HF-Ethanol and HF-Ethanol-H2O solutions. The mesoporous silicon layers were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the width of nano-p...

When combined with high index contrast slabs in which light can be efficiently guided, microfabricated two-dimensional photonic crystals provide us with the geometries needed to confine and concentrate light into extremely small volumes and to obtain very high field intensities. Fabrication of optical structures has now evolved to a precision which allows us to control light within such etched ...

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 ...

Unlike drugs and medical devices, for which long standing and continuously improving quality assurance/quality control infrastructures exist, many nano-based products lack well-defined standards that are useful to manufacturers and regulators. Inherent variabilities in nanoparticle sizes and shapes, their large surface-to-volume ratios, and their mesoscale interactions with subcellular structur...

This paper represents the lowest growth temperature for silicon nano-wires (SiNWs) via a vapour-liquid-solid method, which has ever been reported in the literature. The nano-wires were grown using plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition technique at temperatures as low as 150°C using gallium as the catalyst. This study investigates the structure and the size of the grown silicon nano-structu...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most significant achievements of nano-technology because of its important applications in the design of electronic nano-devices. The study of their properties is therefore important. In this study, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was used to investigate the adsorption of gas molecules on the surface of carbon nanotubes. Theoretical studies have found that ...
