Polymer nanocomposites (PNC) have attracted enormous scientific and technological interest due to their applications in energy storage, electronics, biosensing, drug delivery, cosmetics and packaging industry. Nanomaterials (platelet, fibers, spheroids, whiskers, rods) dispersed in different types of polymer matrices constitute such PNC....

Graphite/silicon (G/Si) composites are considered as possible alternative anode materials to commercial graphite anodes. However, the unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) on G/Si particles results in rapid capacity decay, impeding practical applications. Herein, a facile and low-cost Al 2 O 3 coating was developed to fabricate stable...

We fabricate dual-gated electric double layer (EDL) field effect transistors based on InAs nanowires gated with an ionic liquid, and we perform electrical transport measurements in the temperature range from room temperature to 4.2 K. By adjusting the spatial distribution of ions inside the ionic liquid employed as gate dielectric, we electrostatically...

We present a template-assisted fabrication method for a large-scale ordered arrays of ZnO nanorods (ZnO-NRs) modified with Ag nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), which possess high-density three-dimensional (3D) hot spots uniformly dispersed all over the substrate, being beneficial to ultrahigh sensitivity of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)...

Domain engineering plays a pivotal role in the development of ferroelectric non-volatile memory devices. In this work, we mainly focus on the domain kinetic in ion-sliced single crystal LiNbO 3 thin films under tip-induced electric fields using piezoresponse force microscope (PFM). Polarization reversal takes place when the electric fields...

We review the current state-of-the-art graphene-enhanced thermal interface materials for the management of heat in the next generation of electronics. Increased integration densities, speed and power of electronic and optoelectronic devices require thermal interface materials with substantially higher thermal conductivity, improved reliability,...

Highly efficient and blue-emitting CsPbBr 3 quantum dots were successfully synthesized by two-step supersaturated recrystallization under ambient condition. This method could control the particle size within 2.8 nm, thus resulting in strong quantum confinement effect of the products. The as-synthesized CsPbBr 3 quantum dots presented outstanding...

Computer modeling technique based on the theory of stochastic processes have been used in order to provide a realistic simulation of the behavior of nanoscopic systems, related in particular to plasma reactors in microelectronic device production. Basing on decades of experience, we show here, with new results, that the universality of such methods...

The n + -base width of a two-terminal vertical thyristor fabricated with n ++ (top-emitter)-p + (base)-n + (base)-p ++ (bottom-emitter) epitaxial Si layers was designed to produce a cross-point memory cell without a selector. Both the latch-up and latch-down voltages increased linearly with the n + -base width, but the voltage increase slope of...

Group-IV based light sources are one of the missing links towards fully CMOS compatible photonic circuits. Combining both silicon process compatibility and a pseudo-direct band gap, germanium is one of the most viable candidates. To overcome the limitation of the indirect band gap and turning germanium in an efficient light emitting material,...
