Download or read book Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials Applied to Chemical Sensors and Biosensors written by Pierre Camille Lacaze and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key social issues of health, medicine, the environment, food and safety cannot be addressed without the support of chemical sensors and biosensors, whose performance is constantly improving in terms of reliability and cost, particularly in the production of autonomous devices connected to the Internet. Obtaining high-intensity transduction signals arising from the interaction of an analyte and a sensor, enabling the identification and dosage of a given compound, requires the selection of suitable physical measurement methods and the creation of structures that react specifically to different types of analyte. Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials Applied to Chemical Sensors and Biosensors details recent advances in the field of sensor design using carbon-based nanomaterials (graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon quantum dots, etc.) and inorganic nanomaterials (metallic nanoparticles, nanocrystals, transition metal dichalcogenides, etc.), as well as a variety of physical sensing methods (electrochemical, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, optic, optoelectronic, etc.).

Download or read book Imaging Nanoscale Electronic Inhomogeneity with Microwave Impedance Microscopy written by Worasom Kundhikanjana and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ability to measure local dielectric constant and conductivity at nanoscale is desir- able for many research disciplines. Traditional transport measurements and many scanning probe techniques require ohmic contacts to the sample, which further com- plicates the sample preparation and is a low throughput process. Techniques based on high-frequency coupling is advantageous over these techniques since the measure- ments rely on the capacitive coupling between the tip and the sample. Among the high-frequency probes, near-field microwave microscopy sits on the sweet spot with the advantages from the high frequency coupling, but still maintains high contrast between metal and insulator. Implementing microwave microscopy technique is no trivial task. The first part of this thesis describes various engineering aspects during the developmental stage of our microwave microscopy, which we call microwave impedance microscope (MIM). We will begin with introduction to the principle of near-field microscopy, and follow by describing various components of MIIM. The second part of the thesis devotes to the study of nanoscale electronic inhomogeneity both at room temperature and low temperature. The room temperature works provide examples of application of MIM for nanoscale electrical characterization in nano graphene and semiconductor devices. The low temperature studies focus on the phase transition in pervoskite manganites and edge states of two-dimensional electron gas. In pervoskite manganites, we provide direct observation of the phase-separation and the glassy behavior of manganites. In the two-dimensional systems, we study the formation edge states during quantum Hall and quantum spin Hall effects. Finally, we concludes the thesis with plans for future developments and scientific problems.

Download or read book Microwave Chemical and Materials Processing written by Satoshi Horikoshi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal aim of this book is to introduce chemists through a tutorial approach to the use of microwaves by examining several experiments of microwave chemistry and materials processing. It will subsequently enable chemists to fashion their own experiments in microwave chemistry or materials processing. Microwave heating has become a popular methodology in introducing thermal energy in chemical reactions and material processing in laboratory-scale experiments. Several research cases where microwave heating has been used in a wide range of fields have been reported, including organic synthesis, polymers, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and ceramic sintering, among others. In most cases, microwave equipment is used as a simple heat source. Therefore the principal benefits of microwave radiation have seldom been taken advantage of. One reason is the necessity to understand the nature of electromagnetism, microwave engineering, and thermodynamics. However, it is difficult for a chemist to appreciate these in a short time, so they act as barriers for the chemist who might take an interest in the use of microwave radiation. This book helps to overcome these barriers by using figures and diagrams instead of equations as much as possible.

Download or read book Swift Ion Beam Analysis in Nanosciences written by Denis Jalabert and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swift ion beam analysis (IBA) of materials and their surfaces has been widely applied to many fields over the last half century, constantly evolving to meet new requirements and to take advantage of developments in particle detection and data treatment. Today, emerging fields in nanosciences introduce extreme demands to analysis methods at the nanoscale. This book addresses how analysis with swift ion beams is rising to meet such needs. Aimed at early stage researchers and established researchers wishing to understand how IBA can contribute to their analytical requirements in nanosciences, the basics of the interactions of charged particles with matter, as well as the operation of the relevant equipment, are first presented. Many recent examples from nanoscience research are then explored in which the specific analytical capabilities of IBA are emphasized, together with the place of IBA alongside the wealth of other analytical methods.

Download or read book Simulation of Transport in Nanodevices written by François Triozon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linear current-voltage pattern, has been and continues to be the basis for characterizing, evaluating performance, and designing integrated circuits, but is shown not to hold its supremacy as channel lengths are being scaled down. In a nanoscale circuit with reduced dimensionality in one or more of the three Cartesian directions, quantum effects transform the carrier statistics. In the high electric field, the collision free ballistic transform is predicted, while in low electric field the transport remains predominantly scattering-limited. In a micro/nano-circuit, even a low logic voltage of 1 V is above the critical voltage triggering nonohmic behavior that results in ballistic current saturation. A quantum emission may lower this ballistic velocity.
