Electronic transport in QD based structures: from basic parameters to opto-electronic device simulations

MOF-based electronic and opto-electronic devices.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid materials with unique optical and electronic properties arising from rational self-assembly of the organic linkers and metal ions/clusters, yielding myriads of possible structural motifs. The combination of order and chemical tunability, coupled with good environmental stability of MOFs, are prompting many research groups to explore the poss...

Designing Opto-Electronic Nanomaterials Using First Principles Simulations

When the dimensions of a material are reduced to the nanoscale, many of its physical properties change dramatically from those of the bulk material. In semiconductor materials, such as silicon, the enhanced surface to volume ratio at the nanoscale results in an increased influence of the size, shape and surface chemistry on the relative structural stabilities of different silicon nanostructures...

Electronic transport through dsDNA based junction: a Fibonacci model

A numerical study is presented to investigate the electronic transport properties through a synthetic DNA molecule based on a quasiperiodic arrangement of its constituent nucleotides. Using a generalized Green's function technique, the electronic conduction through the poly(GACT)-poly(CTGA) DNA molecule in a metal/DNA/metal model structure has been studied. Making use of a renormalization schem...

Scalable Opto-Electronic Network (SOENet)

In applications such as processor-memory interconnect, I/O networks, and router switch fabrics, an interconnection network must be scalable to thousands of high-bandwidth terminals while at the same time being economical in small configurations and robust in the presence of single-point faults. Emerging optical technology enables new topologies by allowing links to cover large distances but at ...
