Pristine MWNTs were functionalized with COOH group through microwave assisted synthesis route which rendered them soluble in water and other solvents too. Metal salts of Platinum and Palladium were further reduced to metal nanoparticles in presence of MWNT-COOH under microwave irradiation. These hybrid metal decorated carbon nanostructures were morphologically and functionally well characterized using SEM, EDAX, FTIR, UV-Visible etc., Using Z-scan technique, we carried out nonlinear optical studies on aqueous dispersions (stable) of these metal decorated (Pt/Pd-MWNT-COOH) using a high power Nd:YAG Laser with 532 nm excitation with 10 nanosecond pulse width. These samples exhibited significant nonlinear absorption and scattering. The metal decorated MWNT-COOH (Pt-MWNT-COOH:2 Jcm-2; Pd-MWNT-COOH: 1.7Jcm-2) exhibited enhanced optical limiting which is more than plain MWNT-COOH samples and similar Metal-Graphene hybrid dispersions reported earlier in literature. These could be ideally suited for optical power limiting applications.","PeriodicalId":13708,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Nanomaterials & Emerging Engineering Technologies","volume":"16 1","pages":"193-196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91141589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was observed that, tensile strength and modulus of the hybrid composites increases with increase of cow dung percentage of weight. These properties found to be higher when alkali treated cow dung fibers were used in the hybrid composites. The eradication of amorphous hemi-cellulose with alkali treatment leading to higher crystalline of the cow dung fibers with alkali treatment might responsible for these observations. The effect of alkali treatment on the bonding between glass / cow dung composites was also studied.

The H.264/AVC standard aims to enable significantly improved compression performance compared to all existing video coding standards. In this project we employ two schemes of coding transform coefficients namely exponential Golomb coding & context adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC).And the major part of the contribution is the decoding strategy applied for decoding which results in performance enhancement saving the memory and decoding time which are the most important factors for bandwidth utilization. The transform coefficients are obtained using a simple zigzag scan technique. The consensus among the major players of the communications and video industry on H.264 might provide the major thrust for this new standard.","PeriodicalId":13708,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Nanomaterials & Emerging Engineering Technologies","volume":"48 1","pages":"607-612"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74276241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Graphene nanoribbons facilitates high speed low power switching applications. Low and high field mobilities of the graphene nanoribbons are found to be higher than the CNTs and CMOS keeping the same unit cell. Such properties of graphene nanoribbons are used in the paper to define RAM memory using GNRs as an effective substitute to CMOS and CNTFETs cache memory. Graphene nanoribbon crossbars are used as the basic programmable devices. This 2-D arrangement of GNRs creates programmable diodes at intersection of each horizontal and vertical GNR rod thus opening up new avenues for building high speed memory and digital devices. The graphene nanoribbons based memory is better than the SRAM in terms of speed, density and performance metrics as well. The noise margin of GNR based memory will be .2 volts higher with respect to lower and upper limits than CMOS counterpart used presently as demonstrated by simulations in the paper. GNR based memory would be operating in the 10 nanometres scale and would be 25-50 per cent denser than the existing SRAM.","PeriodicalId":13708,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Advanced Nanomaterials & Emerging Engineering Technologies","volume":"3 1","pages":"450-452"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79630953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
