In this study, the plasmonic response of Au-Ag-Cu trimetallic nanospheres has been investigated by using discrete dipole approximation (DDA). The size, and surrounding medium-dependent optical parameters such as localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelength, relative contribution of scattering in the extinction (scattering yield), and full width at half maximum (FWHM), have been calculated for their possible use in cost-effective plasmonic applications. These optical parameters can be tuned from 400 to 600 nm in the visible region of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum through change in size and surrounding medium. The calculated FWHM is enhanced more by trimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) than by individual and bimetallic NPs and, therefore, may be preferred for plasmonic solar cells in the visible region.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123722885","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}

Analytical expressions are derived for the surface potential, electric field and the band-to-band generation rate. The drain current is obtained by numerically integrating the generation rate across the entire device. The model is able to predict the ambipolar current as well as the effects of drain voltage in the saturation region. The model uses a semi-empirical approach to capture the transition between the linear and the saturation regions, which gives infinitely differentiable transfer characteristics. This model includes the effects of drain voltage, gate metal work function, oxide thickness, and silicon film thickness. The model is also shown to be scalable down to a channel length of 20 nm. The accuracy of the model is confirmed by a comparison with 2-D numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130529533","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}

A modeling approach is proposed to determine the contribution of each of the above stresses and to attempt to estimate a regime of applied voltage, temperatures and polymer film thickness within which the device operates without this form of performance degradation.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120926953","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 is required to dope graphene controllably without affecting its spectacular electronic properties. The prospect of chemical doping and its use in electronic and sensing applications has been extensively studied. Here we report an easy way to achieve doping in graphene layers during chemical exfoliation by choosing the solvent for exfoliation of different dielectric values appropriately.
