In this study, undoped ZnO and doped with Fe and Mn nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The morphology of nanostructures was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope. The electrochemical response of the carbon paste electrode modified with nanoparticles of ZnO and also ZnO doped with Fe and Mn toward levodopa (L-Dopa) was studied. Studies of cyclic voltammetry using pro...

The AC performance capabilities of Schottky-barrier carbon nanotube field-effect transistors are examined via simulations using a self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson solver. It is shown that good high-frequency performance demands use of a small-bandgap nanotube, whereas good digitalswitching performance can be achieved with larger-bandgap tubes. For typical transistor geometries it is shown th...

We report on the 1/f noise in various ballistic carbon nanotube devices. A common means to characterize the quality of a transistor in terms of noise is to evaluate the ratio of the noise amplitude and the sample resistance . By contacting semiconducting tubes with different metal electrodes we are able to show that a small / value by itself is no indication of a suitable metal/tube combination...

Electrochemical energy-storage devices have the potential to be clean and efficient, but their current cost and performance limit their use in numerous transportation and stationary applications. Many organic molecules are abundant, economical and electrochemically active; if selected correctly and rationally designed, these organic molecules offer a promising route to expand the applications o...

   Significant effects of magnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles on the potentiometric behavior of carbon paste electrode for bio determination of Isoniazid aromatic drug (INH) were studied. The electrochemical performance of modified Fe3O4/CPE was investigated. The constructed Fe3O4/CPE showed high precision, sensitivity ...

In situ three terminal electron field emission characterization of an isolated multiwalled carbon nanotube has been performed, where both anode and gate electrodes are attached to high precision piezodrivers. All measurements are performed in a scanning electron microscope allowing accurate knowledge of the local environment of the nanotube to be obtained. It is shown that the presence of the g...
