Molecular communication is considered a bio-inspired paradigm, in which molecules are transmitted, propagated and received between nanoscale machines. We consider a nanonetwork consist of n nanodevices in a bounded environment. These nanodevices communicate according to diffusion based molecular communication. The main objective is to study performance of molecular communication model, we present...
In this article, we report C60 Fullerene Nano Cylindrical Tubes (FNCT). The FNCTs were synthesized by a liquid-liquid interface precipitation (LLIP) method using m-Xylene as a saturating solvent and TBA (Tetra butyl alcoholic) as precipitation agent leading to the formation of FNCTs with uniquely structured and well oriented size and shape. The experiment was conducted in a closed atmosphere maintaining...
Graphene's extraordinary electrical, electrochemical and structural property holds great promise for biological sensing applications. In most graphene based sensing studies, the changes in conductance are widely employed as a method for detection. Here, we propose the graphene thermoelectric property, such as the thermo power profile, can also be used for sensing purposes. We conducted a first principle...
We investigate the analog figures-of-merits (FOMs) of inversion-mode and junctionless nanowire transistors regarding to the gate metal work-function variation using 3D TCAD simulations. The junctionless device shows more immunity to work-function variation on analog FOMs compared to the inversion-mode counterpart. The correlation between parameters affects the immunity of variation on analog FOMs...
In this work, the deposition of 3-nm dispersed Zinc-Oxide (ZnO) nanislands by thermal Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is demonstrated. The physical and electronic properties of the islands are studied using Atomic Force Microscopy, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. The results show that there is quantum confinement in 1D in the nanoislands which is manifested by the increase...
Glass is one of the essential materials for optical devices due to its transparency. It usually loses about 4% of energy of an incident light at its interface. In order to suppress its reflection, moth-eye structure, which is the nanoscale tapered pillar array, has a remarkable anti-reflection performance. In its fabrication method, nanoimprint lithography has been paid attention due to the availability...
A parametric study is performed on the resonance plasmon scattering modes of nanoscale voids within a metallic nano-rod, in terms of the voids' presence, radius, and position, by implementing total-field/scattered-field (TF/SF) in finite-difference time-domain (FDTD). The study is then extended to investigating voids within clusters of metallic nano-rods. A technique is accordingly developed to employ...
Nanoscale morphology of the active layer in organic solar cells (OSCs) plays a significant role in affecting the overall performance of OSCs. In this work, by using the domain size to describe the morphology change with different annealing temperatures, the influence of annealing to nanoscale morphology in OSCs is intensively studied. Also, machine learning is utilized in investigating the relation...
Flexible electronics is expected technology in the future, the bonding material may also be required flexibility. STPE is a promising material that has both flexibility and low-temperature curability, it is possible to satisfy the characteristics required in the near future bonding material.
This paper presented a method of growing metallic nanowires by using electron beam technology under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The metallic nanoparticles were dispersed evenly on Indium-Tin Oxide (ITO) by the spin coater. The ITO sample was experimentally prepared by the spin coating technique. The electron beam was focused on a metallic nano particle inside SEM, which were dispersed on the...

Nanoimprint is an emerging lithographic technology that promises high-throughput patterning of nanostructures. Based on the mechanical embossing principle, nanoimprint technique can achieve pattern resolutions beyond the limitations set by the light diffractions or beam scatterings in other conventional techniques. Nanoimprint can be applied to optical device, magnetic device, LSI device and so on.
Pd is a unique substrate to explore graphene growth. Pd is a well-known “carbon sponge” which have potential to grow graphene with semiconducting properties in nature.
