As device dimensions shrink to the order of nanometres, quantum effects such as confinement and tunnelling start to play a significant role. Quantum confinement shifts the threshold voltage, and the leakage increases due to band-toband, source-to-drain and gate tunnelling. Such effects will have a strong impact on the performance of nanowire transistors actively researched at present as a possi...

In this study a simple and general chemical association theory is introduced. The concept of infinite equilibrium model is re-examined and true mole fractions of associated species are calculated. The theory is applied to derive the distribution function of associated species. As a severe test the application of presented theory to the van der Waals mixture model is introduced in order to p...

With the rapidly increasing integration density and power in nanoscale electronic devices, thermal management concerning heat generation energy harvesting becomes quite crucial. Since phonon is major carrier semiconductors, transport due to phonons mesoscopic systems has attracted much attention. In quantum studies, nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) method a versatile powerful tool that be...

BACKGROUND Interspecific hybrid bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy] is one of the most widely used grasses on golf courses, with cultivars derived from 'Tifgreen' or 'Tifdwarf' particularly used for putting greens. Many bermudagrass cultivars established for putting greens can be genetically unstable and lead to the occurrence of undesirable off-type grasse...

the experimental studies of methane conversion to higher hydrocarbons and methanol using a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor are presented in this article. the process is carried out at ambient atmospheric pressure and temperature. the dbd reactor is stimulated by an alternative voltage of 50 hz and amplitude of max.23kv. the examination of the effect of voltage and flow rates on metha...

Rationale Take-all patch, caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis f. sp. avenae, is favored by alkaline soils. Because the calcareous sands used for putting greens in the Midwest have a high pH, bentgrass greens constructed with high sand content or to USGA specifications are especially prone to the disease. Previous research addressed take-all patch on established bentgrass greens and fairways with ...
