Laser Lithography of a Tube-in-a-Tube Nanostructure

Laser Lithography of a Tube-in-a-Tube Nanostructure

Carbon nanotubes hold vast potential for device innovations because their optical and electronic properties can be synthetically tailored at a length scale unattainable by lithographic techniques. However, lithographic patterning of carbon nanotubes with electronic-type control remains one of the major problems for the integration of these nanomaterials for practical device applications. In thi...

A CLOSED FORM SOLUTION FOR FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF TUBE-IN-TUBE SYSTEMS IN TALL BUILDINGS

In this paper the dynamic response of tube-in-tube systems for tall building structures is investigated. Inner and outer tubes are modeled using equivalent continuous orthotropic membranes; in which, each tube is individually modeled by a cantilever box beam. By applying the compatibility conditions on deformation of the two tubes, the governing dynamic equations of the tube-in-tube structure a...

Selecting Optimal Dimensions of Internal Tube in Tube-in-Tube Structural Systems Based on Structural Parameters

Tubular structural systems are one of the most common types of systems in high-rise structures. In the early days of this system, there were imperfections in its design which were overcome over time. The most important modification to rectify these defects is the use of a series of internal frames in addition to the peripheral frames and new systems in the center of the plan to eliminate design...

Chemical Gating of a Synthetic Tube-in-a-Tube Semiconductor

A critical challenge to translating field effect transistors into biochemical sensor platforms is the requirement of a gate electrode, which imposes restrictions on sensor device architectures and results in added expense, poorer scalability, and electrical noise. Here we show that it is possible to eliminate the need of the physical gate electrode and dielectrics altogether using a synthetic t...
