The graphene nano-electro-mechanical switches are promising components due to their outstanding switching performance. However, most of the reported devices suffered from a large actuation voltages, hindering them from the integration in the conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuit. In this work, we demonstrated the graphene nano-electro-mechanical switches with the l...

Optical and nonlinear-optical properties of negativeindex nanocomposite as well as the feasibility of a design of novel photonic microdevices and all-optical data processing chips are numerically simulated. Keywords—Numerical simulation, nano materials and nanostructures, negative-index metamaterials, nanophotonics, nano and micro devices, all-optical switches, optical frequency narrow-band fil...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-based intelligent transport systems have attracted many researchers' attention due to the characteristics of uniform pore and particle size distribution, good biocompatibility, high surface area, and versatile functionalization, which have led to their widespread application in diverse areas. In the past two decades, many kinds of smart controlled release sy...

We show that in nanoscale two-terminal resistive switches the resistance switching can be dominated by the formation of a single conductive filament. The probabilistic filament formation process strongly affects the device operation principle, and can be programmed to facilitate new functionalities such as multibit switching with partially formed filaments. In addition, the nanoscale switches e...

Due to the increasing growth of processing cores in complex computational systems, all the connection converted bottleneck for all systems. With the protection of progressing and constructing complex photonic connection on chip, optical data transmission is the best choice for replacing with electrical interconnection for the reason of gathering connection with a high bandwidth and insertion lo...

Using differential quadrature method (DQM), this study investigated pull-in instability of beam-type nano-switches under the effects of small-scale and intermolecular forces including the van der Waals (vdW) and the Casimir forces. In these nano-switches, electrostatic forces served as the driving force, and von-Karman type nonlinear strain was used to examine nonlinear geometric effects. To de...

This paper reports on the first demonstration of aluminum nitride (AIN) piezoelectric logic switches that were fabricated with ultra-thin (100nm) AIN films and exhibit a 1 mV threshold voltage via the body-biasing scheme. The application of a relatively low (< 6 V) fixed potential to the body terminal of a 4-terminal switch has been cycled to > 109 cycles and, although the contact resistance wa...
