We describe the nanofabrication study of self-aligned electrodes on suspended multiwalled carbon nanotube structures. When metal is deposited on a suspended multiwalled carbon nanotube structure, the nanotube acts as an evaporation mask, resulting in the formation of discontinuous electrodes. The metal deposits on the nanotubes are removed with lift-off. Using Al sacrificial layers, it was poss...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNFETs) have demonstrated extraordinary properties and are widely expected to be the building blocks of next generation VLSI circuits. This chapter presents (1) the first purely CNT and CNFET based nanoarchitecture, (2) an adaptive configuration methodology for nanoelectronic design based on the CNT nano-architecture, and (3)...

Owning to their unparalleled sensitivity resolution, nanomechanical resonators have excellent capabilities in design of nano-sensors for gas detection. The current challenge is to develop newdesigns of the resonators for differentiating distinct gas atoms with a recognizably high sensitivity. In this work, the characteristics of impulse wave propagation in carbon nanotube-based sensors are inve...

The surface analysis of nanomachined AISI D2 tool steel materials is measured using atomic force microscopy. The surface roughness and fractal dimensional analysis are the important factors in nano tribology and evaluating the quality of nanomachined surface. Carbon nanotube increases the heat carrying capacity, thermal conductivity of the lubricating oil and thus prevents any damage to the wor...

In this research work cobalt-ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple, general sol-gel auto-combustion method. For this study, electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing coatings with different weight fractions of nano-carbon and CoFe2O4 (which, arises from both dielectric and magnetic contributions) and polymeric epoxy resin were prepared and their characteristics were fully inves...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the most significant achievements of nano-technology because of its important applications in the design of electronic nano-devices. The study of their properties is therefore important. In this study, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was used to investigate the adsorption of gas molecules on the surface of carbon nanotubes. Theoretical studies have found that ...

this review paper provides researcherwith a comprehensive information about the carbon nano tubes and the catalyst parameters that influences theproduction and morphology of the of carbon nano tubes.carbon nanotubes, referred to as cnts, are one of the most important materials used in electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical and textile industries. since discovery of cnts in 1991, many scienti...

Laser pyrolysis has been used to synthesize WO3 nanostructures. Spherical nano-particles were obtained when acetylene was used to carry the precursor droplet, whereas thin films were obtained at high flow-rates of oxygen carrier gas. In both environments WO3 nanowires appear only after thermal annealing of the as-deposited powders and films. Samples produced under oxygen carrier gas in the lase...
