The major benefit of these applications is computation complexity. Quantum Boolean circuits can check the equivalence function: all in puts are quantum digital state. However, it is difficult to verify quantum strings if all input qubits are quantum superposition state. Quantum switching could be reversible circuits. These circuits have two major benefits: information lossless and energy saving. In this paper, we use quantum circuits to design the control module that can verify the equivalence of quantum strings and satisfy the following condition: all inputs qubits could be quantum superposition state. In the pro posed circuits, the control module can form a special correlation between input sequence and output sequence. This correlation can design the equivalence function of quantum strings to solve the problem: input strings with superposition. In regard to the performance, the scalability of the proposed circuits can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":254587,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114367739","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}

In our experimental evaluations, the surface enhanced Raman scattering signals from the surface substrates with a duration of 12-hour treatment and without treatment are obtained. Through three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical simulation, we find that the structures with vertical variations of surface have larger field enhancement than that of horizontal variations which implies a strong positive effect on the local field enhancement. Moreover, the field enhancements are sensitive to the diameter and the shape of Au nanoparticles. We further find the 35-nm cubic shape of Au nanoparticle shows relatively larger electric field enhancement than that of spherical one.","PeriodicalId":254587,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127535737","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}

Conventional AFM probes use high-stiffness materials and therefore, it makes the force measurement on soft samples becoming more difficult. In this work an ultra-compliant AFM probe made of polyimide was used to provide an improved imaging and force measurement of cancer cells. The probe includes an embedded sensing element for thermal conductance characterization. The probe was used for thermal conductance and topographical mapping of biological cells.

With the strategy of objects assembly, using AFM to handle nano-rods and other nano-objects is considered as an important and high potential technology in constructing nano-structures. However most of AFM only has one tip as the end effector and cannot control both translational and rotational motions during manipulation, this makes it be difficult to realize posture controllable manipulation especially in nano environment. In this paper, the behavior of nano-rod under pushing is theoretically analyzed and modeled. Viscous friction is incorporated in the model and the two situations that the pivot of the nanorod is either inside or outside the rod are addressed. By modeling, the pivot can be determined at each manipulation in real time, and the pushing points can be planned to realize posture controllable manipulation by using nano-hand strategy which is inspired by stable pushing theory of object manipulation in macro world, and to improve the reliability and the precision of manipulation.","PeriodicalId":254587,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125943191","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 spin polarization was estimated by measuring the circular polarization of light created by a radiative recombination of the carriers in the GaAs sample. The circular polarization measured shows that non-spin-polarized carriers in the non-magnetic PtIr tip changed to spin-polarized ones in the GaAs substrate when they were transported through thin Fe layers. The high spin polarization of the carriers was caused by the unoccupied state of minority-band of the Fe layer and suggests a promising method to achieve spintronic devices at room temperature.","PeriodicalId":254587,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128172137","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 darkfield microscope system was built to track down LSPR signals of individual nanoparticles. Results showed that peak wavelengths of individual Au nanorods that are synthesized in a same batch are broadly distributed ranging from 600 nm to 850 nm. The standard deviation of peak wavelength location from 20 randomly selected Au nanorods was 50.6 nm. Our investigation also revealed that wavelength shift from different nanorods for the same bulk refractive index change could be significant.
