Samples were deposited by LPCVD with different film thickness and deposition temperature. The microstructure of films was characterized by SEM, TEM and XRD. By measuring the resistivity and the gauge factor of samples at different temperatures, temperature coefficients of the resistance and the gauge factor (TCR and TCGF) were investigated. Based on the analysis of tunneling piezoresistive effect, the results indicated that PSNFs of ultrahigh doping concentration (around 3times1020 cm-3) have better piezoresistive temperature characteristics than single crystal silicon. By controlling the process parameters like deposition temperature and film thickness, film structure was optimized to obtain a very low resistance temperature coefficient (about plusmn10-4/degC). Moreover TCGF was negative and almost not affected by deposition temperature and film thickness. These conclusions are useful for temperature compensation of polysilicon pressure sensors.","PeriodicalId":245696,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122098196","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 MD calculation data are converted into continues heat distribution and showed with different colors in 3D images under various cutting parameters. The result of the simulation shows that there is a narrow region with high temperature under tool edge where most of heat generated due to plastic deformation of workpiece material, the high temperature extends from here to chip, diamond tool and workpiece, but the highest temperature lies in chip. The heat distribution is roughly concentric around the tool edge and a steep temperature gradient is observed between diamond tool and chip. A higher temperature region below the tool edge implied a larger shear stress is built up in a local region at high cutting speed with a rougher machined surface behind than at low cutting speed.","PeriodicalId":245696,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124768010","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}

SWNTs have high electron affinity and high mobility for electrons. As a result of this, the separation of photoinduced charges in the solar cell is very fast and efficient. For LEDs, the polymer-SWNT composite films act as efficient electron transporting layer (ETL). In general the mobility for electrons in conducting polymers is much lower than that for holes due to efficient trapping of electrons by the impurities and traps in the polymers. Due to high mobility of electrons in SWNTs, using polymer-SWNT composite film as ETL is a good alternative. In the present work composite solutions of P3HT and SWNTs were prepared in 1,2-dichlorobenzene with nanotube to polymer mass ratios varied from 0 to 30%. To disperse the nanotube powder the solution was ultrasonically agitated for ~5 minutes. The solutions were left undisturbed for ~48 hrs to sediment out the present impurities. The upper half of the solution was decanted to obtain impurity free solution. The films from this solution were spin coated on a glass substrate with the help of spinner. The thickness of the film was measured with the help of Talystep and was ~100 plusmn 10 nm. The photoluminescence (PL) of the film was observed with the help of Shimadzu spectrophotometer. It was found that the PL intensity decreases by ~90% as the concentration of the SWNT is increased from 0 to 30%. This decrease is due to transfer of electrons from P3HT to SWNTs before the exciton in the polymer can decay radiatively to emit PL. For measuring do conductivity the composite films were spin coated on a glass substrate having Al coating. Six Al contacts having an area of 0.25 cm2 were deposited on the upper surface of the film and conductivity was measured with the help of Keithley sourcemeter in sandwiched structures. It was found that conductivity increases by more than five orders of magnitude with the increase of SWNT concentration. The composite films can therefore act as good electron transporter for LEDs and efficient electron acceptor for solar cells.","PeriodicalId":245696,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116354679","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}

First, spin transport through Si doped GaAs was studied between two cobalt strips separated by a 100 mum. It was found that there was well-defined field modulated resistance variation in low magnetic field range (<100 Oersted) at T= 300 K. A moderate variation of 3% was observed in samples with light doping (~1014/cm3), which exhibited non-ohmic contact behavior demonstrating two oppositely polarized Schottky barriers for the two Co strips. The field modulation was found to be dependent on the current, and the temperature dependence of resistance with excitation energy was close to that of the Si dopant. Further, tunneling characteristics were measured on e-beam lithographically patterned spin-dependent tunneling (SDT) lines on n-doped Si, to study ballistic transport from ferromagnetic nano-lines via AlOx barrier into group IV semiconductor. The measurement was done using dual lock-in amplifiers, multi-channel voltmeter, in adder circuit with low noise operational amplifiers. Nano-scaled 100 nm STD junction lines closely spaced (100 nm) were fabricated on P doped Si as injection contacts. The measured I-V characteristics and the differential conductance (dI/dV) versus the bias voltage (V) versus temperature, from 84 to 300 K, through a STD junction showed weak temperature dependences. For example, from 84 to 250 K in the measured dI/dV at low bias range was found to be independent of T, which demonstrated clearly ballistic transport from ferromagnetic nano-contacts into the semiconductor.","PeriodicalId":245696,"journal":{"name":"2008 2nd IEEE International Nanoelectronics Conference","volume":"261 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126206189","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}

Nevertheless, with increasing the temperature, the radiation damage in MWCNTs that could destroy the structure was minimized. Moreover, at the temperature of 800 K, the interconnection of adjacent parallel MWCNTs could be realized at the irradiation dose of 1.5times1017 ions/cm2.

The synthesis was started with the solution of ZnNO3 powder and H2O. The solution was added with an amino acid complex and then heated up to 80degC. The EXAFS revealed that the zinc atoms of the solution had only two oxygen atoms without any second neighboring atoms, implying that ZnNO3 is amorphous. When the complex was applied to the solution, the second neighboring Zn atoms appeared, although there was a substantial amount of structural disorders existing in the Zn-Zn pairs. This result suggests that the nitrogen ions in the complex play a role in clustering ZnO. At 80degC, ZnO was rapidly crystallized and the structural disorders disappeared.
