Ballistic (n,0) Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors' I-V Characteristics: A Comparison of n=3a+1 and n=3a+2

Due to emergence of serious obstacles by scaling of the transistors dimensions, it has been obviously proved that silicon technology should be replaced by a new one having a high ability to overcome the barriers of scaling to nanometer regime. Among various candidates, carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistors are introduced as the most promising devices for substituting the silicon-based ...

Optical, Photoluminescence and Thermoluminescence Properties Investigation of ZnO and Mn Doped ZnO Nanocrystals

ZnO and ZnO: Mn nanocrystals synthesized via reverse micelle method. The structural properties nanocrystals were investigated by XRD and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results indicate that the synthesized nanocrystals had a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) structure. The various optical properties of these nanocrystals such as optical band gap energy, refractive index, dielectr...

Silicon Nanocrystals

Silicon has many advantages over other semiconductor materials: low cost, nontoxicity, practically unlimited availability, and decades of experience in purification, growth and device fabrication. It is used for almost all modern electronic devices. However, the indirect energy gap in bulk crystalline Si makes it unable to emit light efficiently and thus unsuitable for optoelectronic applicatio...
