In this paper, the performance of a CNT-JLTFET under different values of torsional strains of 0, 3, and 5 degrees has been investigated. Simulation has been carried out using non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism in the mode-space approach and in the ballistic limit. The simulation results indicate that, under torsional strain, an increase occurs in the energy band-gap, and thus the...

Based on a robust numerical method for calculation of band structure for stress-waves in heterogeneous media, a layered composite was designed and fabricated. It is shown that in the second pass band of this simple 2-phase layered structure, the direction of the energy flow is opposite that of the phase velocity. The ultrasonic stress-wave transmission through multiple thicknesses of this struc...

We developed a novel universal eigenvalue analysis for 2D arbitrary nanostructures comprising dispersive and lossy materials. The complex dispersion relation (or complex Bloch band structure) of a metallic grating is rigorously calculated by the proposed algorithm with the finite-difference implementation. The abnormally large group velocity is observed at a plasmonic band edge with a large att...

We are engaged in an investigation of the relationship between the properties of BCG candidates and X-ray characteristics of their host clusters for a flux-limited (F X = 3 × 10 −12 erg s −1 cm −2) sample of ∼ 250 ACO clusters from the ROSAT all-sky survey. We aim to search for the convergence scale of bulk streaming flows within the ∼ 300 h −1 Mpc defined by this sample. X-ray selection provid...

The purpose of this work is to incorporate numerically, in a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) solver of a Boltzmann-Poisson model for hot electron transport, an electronic conduction band whose values are obtained by the spherical averaging of the full band structure given by a local empirical pseudopotential method (EPM) around a local minimum of the conduction band for silicon, as a midpoint betwe...
