The cross conformation of 5CB liquid crystal dimer (5CB-5CB) has the least isotropic polarizability; however, the parallel conformation of 5CB liquid crystal dimer has the highest isotropic polarizability. The isotropic polarizability is minimum in the antiparallel conformation of 6CB liquid crystal dimer (6CB-6CB), while isotropic polarizability is maximum in the parallel conformation of 6CB liquid crystal dimer.

In order to observe electron transport in a more specific manner, applied voltage is regulated across an eight atoms long carbon chain resistor sandwiched between two identical semi-infinite semiconducting Armchair Graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) electrodes. The entire device is 2.06nm in length consisting of a 0.93nm long monoatomic carbon chain with eight carbon atoms coupled with two 1.13nm wide 7-AGNR electrodes. Nonequilibrium green’s function (NEGF) technique coupled with density functional theory (DFT) generally used to simulate electronic transport in such systems is employed. The experimental realization of stable carbon chain and 7-AGNR observed in past studies motivated us to link these two experimentally obtained carbon based materials and construct a device in order to investigate electron transport properties theoretically. Meanwhile, the continuous advancement in nanotechnology realization of such devices experimentally may be anticipated in near future, with which the authenticity of the present and other similar reported simulated results may be validated. In this device the current is calculated as a function of potential difference within the 0.0-2.5V range. The I-V curve exhibits a nonconducting region upto 0.81V, followed by steep rise in current magnitude to a maximum value 13.0 ¹A as in semiconductor diodes, involving non-linear characteristic curve displaying a sharp negative differential resistance (NDR) pattern, which is the main focus of our study. Nano devices displaying such unusual I/V characteristics have been considered for developing application oriented futuristic miniaturized devices.","PeriodicalId":239838,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atomic, Molecular, Condensate and Nano Physics","volume":"376 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115476110","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}

Zinc acetate dehydrate, 2 methoxyethanol, and diethanolamine are respectively used as a precursor, solvent, and stabilizer. Aluminium nitrate nonahydrate was used as the dopant source to obtain the atomic percentage of the dopant of 2%, 4%, 6% and 8%. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the films were investigated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectrophotometry, and a Four-point probe technique respectively. The results from structural analyses show that the films are polycrystalline with a hexagonal wurtzite structure and a preferential orientation alongside the (c)-axis. The value obtained for the unit cell (a=3.020) A and (c= 5.108) A are in line with the reported literature. The transmittance of the films was observed within the visible region of the spectrum and the optical bandgap of the un-doped ZnO was established to be around 4.11 eV. However, the optical bandgap of the AZO films (4 and 6 at %) marginally decreases with doping concentration, which may be ascribed to the shrinkage of band effect due to the increase in carrier concentration. The lowest resistivity of (3.53times {10}^{-3},Omega) cm was observed for the doping concentration of 2% of Al. From the results, it was established that as the doping concentration increases, the thicknesses of the thin films were increased. Likewise, the increase in doping leads to a better uniformly distributed absorption spectra of the deposited AZO thin films.","PeriodicalId":239838,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atomic, Molecular, Condensate and Nano Physics","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129740951","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 lattice constant, equilibrium interlayer distance and energy band structures for different interlayer distances and the number of layers were computed. The calculated result indicates that interlayer interaction and stacking order in a multi-layer limit could impact on its structural and electronic properties. In addition to this, the calculated energy band structure for the increasing number of layers indicates that as the number of layers increases the bandgap decreases. However, the nature of the bandgap remains direct. Moreover, the Partial Density of State (PDOS) analysis reveals that many contributions of states in the vicinity of Fermi level derived from Boron p-orbital followed by nitrogen p-orbital.
