Then the solutions of increasing current temperature sensitivity are discussed by investigating the effects of the oxide thickness and the channel diameter on this parameter. Secondly, in this study, we demonstrate the temperature dependence of the transconductance (gm) and output resistance (ro) of the GAA-Si-NWFET. We have proposed the amplifier circuit as a temperature sensor based on the temperature dependence of these parameters. In addition, we have changed the channel diameter and the oxide thickness to increase the temperature sensitivity of gm and subsequently, temperature sensitivity of proposed sensor. Ultimately, the effects of channel diameter and oxide thickness on the temperature sensitivity of gm will be analytically investigated.","PeriodicalId":14081,"journal":{"name":"international journal of nano dimension","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81215481","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}

One application of nanotechnology is in improvement of available treatments for various diseases. Deferasirox (ICL670 or Exjade) is a tridentate chelating agent for removing transfusion overload iron in thalassemia patients. In the present work, deferasirox was prepared in nano size by using of ultrasound waves. The effects of amount and reaction time on the size of deferasirox were investigated. These parameters were optimized at various amounts and different reaction times. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies show that the deferasirox in nature structure does not change during the reaction. The results show that the finest particle is related to the following conditions: 45min, time reaction and 0.1g, amount of deferasirox. Therefore, the ultrasonic bath method has a fundamental role in the preparation of deferasirox in nano scale. This method is simple, relatively fast and low cost.","PeriodicalId":14081,"journal":{"name":"international journal of nano dimension","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76921675","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}

SHPM provides direct quantitative information on the magnetic state of a material and can also image magnetic induction under applied fields up to ~1 tesla. This method is non-invasive with high spatial resolution and sensitivity. Furthermore, this microscopy technique can be operated in a wide range of temperatures while the magnetic field caused by hall probe is so minimal, which has negligible effect on the measuring process. Meanwhile, the sample does not need to be an electrical conductor, unless using Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) for height control. SHPM measurements can be performed in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) and are non-destructive for crystal lattice and complicated structures.","PeriodicalId":14081,"journal":{"name":"international journal of nano dimension","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73506887","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}

The proposed ACP comprises an inclined cantilever and extension, and a tip located at the free end of the extension, which makes the AFM capable of topography at sidewalls of microstructures. Because the extension is not exactly located at one end of the cantilever, the cantilever is modeled as two beams. In this study, the effects of the interaction stiffness and damping, and also some geometrical parameters of the cantilever on the resonant frequencies and sensitivities are investigated. Afterwards, the influence of the interaction stiffness and damping, and the geometrical parameters such as the angles of the cantilever and extension, the connection position of the extension and the ratio of the extension length to the cantilever length on the sensitivity and resonant frequency are investigated. The results show that the greatest flexural modal sensitivity occurs at a small contact stiffness of the system, when the connection position and damping are also small. The results also indicate that at low values of contact stiffness, an increase in the cantilever slope or a decrease in the angle between the cantilever and extension can rise the resonant frequency while reduces the sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":14081,"journal":{"name":"international journal of nano dimension","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86656627","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}

Therefore, the rate of heat transfer from atomic waste materials to the outer surface of the container should be increased. This can be achieved by covering the bottom of the pool space with conical fins (vertically) embedded in porous medium and allowing natural convection flow of Newtonian nanofluid upon it. In this research, we studied the rate of heat transfer by using such special space. In this study, Heat transfer boundary layer flow in Nano-fluidics shifting from a vertical cone in porous medium, two-dimensional, steady, incompressible and low speed flow have been considered and attempts have been made to obtain analytical solutions for it. The obtained nonlinear ordinary differential equation has been solved through homotopy analysis method (HAM), considering boundary conditions and Nusselt number. Also, Nusselt number, which is an important parameter in heat transfer, is calculated using the obtained analytical solution by HAM. A comparison of the obtained analytical solution with the numerical results represented a remarkable accuracy. The results also indicate that HAM can provide us with a convenient way to control and adjust the convergence region.","PeriodicalId":14081,"journal":{"name":"international journal of nano dimension","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83132826","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}
