Respiratory tract infections have the highest rates of antibiotic prescriptions where symptoms like fever, cough, and rigors are regularly misinterpreted bacterial cannot be distinguished from viral ones. Nevertheless, it has been recently suggested that C-reactive protein (CRP), a produced by liver in response to infection, could serve as potential biomarker for precise differentiation these t...

Phonon scattering in carbon nanotube field-effect transistors CNTFETs is treated using the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism with the self-consistent Born approximation. The treatment simultaneously captures the essential physics of phonon scattering and important quantum effects. For a one-dimensional channel, it is computationally as efficient as and physically more rigorous than the ...

CARBON NANOTUBE THIN FILM TRANSISTORS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS Vanessa Velasco August 5, 2010 The application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has captivated the curiosity of today's experts due to the escalating potential in the field of electronic detection of biomolecules. Their extreme environmental sensitivity and small size make them ideal candidates for future biosensing technologies. Recen...

Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs) are being widely studied as the possible alternatives to the conventional silicon-MOSFETs. In this paper we have successfully designed the CNFET-based digital logic gates and compared them with the existing CMOS technology based logic gates. The designs are modeled using 32-nm technology for both CNFET and CMOS technology, using Stanford Univers...

As the miniaturization of silicon based circuits reaches its physical limits, the exigency of substitute technologies emerges. Special characteristics of CNT such as high mobility of electrons, ballistic transport and high Ion-Ioff ratio, has introduced it as an appropriate successor to silicon MOSFET. Whereas the threshold voltage cannot be decreased deliberately due to the scaling limitations...
