In utilizing nanodevice development research papers to assist in experimental planning and design, it is useful to identify and annotate characteristic categories of information contained in those papers such as source material, evaluation parameter, etc. In order to support this annotation process, we have been working to construct a nanodevice development corpus and a complementary automatic ...

We present an idea for a nanodevice in which an arbitrary sequence of three basic quantum single qubit gates-negation, Hadamard, and phase shift-can be performed on a single electron spin. The spin state is manipulated using the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling intrinsically present in zinc blende materials. The electron trajectory within the device is controlled by voltages applied to a multipl...

A Redfield-like Liouville equation for an open system that couples to one or more leads and exchanges particles with them is derived. The equation is presented for a general case. A case study of time-dependent transport through a single quantum level for varying electrostatic and chemical potentials in the leads is presented. For the case of varying electrostatic potentials the proposed equati...

importance of covalent bonded two-dimensional monolayer nanostructures and also hydrocarbons is undeniably responsible for creation of new fascinating materials like polyphenylene polymer, a hydrocarbon super honeycomb network, so-called porous graphene. the mechanical properties of porous graphene such as its young’s modulus, poisson’s ratio and the bulk modulus as the determinative properties...

The combined effects of an asymmetric (square or V-shaped) notch and uniaxial strain are studied in a zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) device using a generalized tight-binding model. The spin-polarization and conductance-gap properties, calculated within the Landauer–Büttiker formalism, were found to be tunable for uniaxial strain along the ribbon-length and ribbon-width for an ideal ZGNR and ...

We theoretically investigate resonant tunneling through S- and U-shaped nanostructured graphene nanoribbons. A rich structure of resonant tunneling peaks is found emanating from different quasi-bound states in the middle region. The tunneling current can be turned on and off by varying the Fermi energy. Tunability of resonant tunneling is realized by changing the width of the left and/or right ...

We created graphene blisters that cover and seal an annular cylinder-shaped microcavity in a SiO2 substrate filled with a gas. By controlling the pressure difference between the gas inside and outside of the microcavity, we switch the graphene membrane between multiple stable equilibrium configurations. We carried out experiments starting from the situation where the pressure of the gas inside ...

is compatible with conventional device manufacturing processes8; doping processes that can assure stable, high electrical conductivity over long periods9; a method to improve the environmental stability of graphene electrodes against moisture and chemicals in the air10; and a method to decrease the contact resistance between electrodes and active materials11. One issue, in particular, with CVDg...

The electron transport through a quantum sphere with three one-dimensional wires attached to it is investigated. An explicit form for the transmission coefficient as a function of the electron energy is found from the first principles. The asymmetric Fano resonances are detected in transmission of the system. The collapse of the resonances is shown to appear under certain conditions. A two-term...
