Hence, the digital system’s performance is considerably reliant on the efficiency of the adders. Therefore, designing a 4-bit carry save adder (CSA) that consumes less power, occupies a smaller area, and operates at a higher speed is proposed using the modified–gate diffusion input (MOD–GDI) technique. The primary focus is to reduce the area occupied by decreasing the transistor count as compared with other logic styles (i.e., conventional, and Boolean simplification) for CSA through Cadence Virtuoso simulation based on SilTerra 180 nm technology. Notably, the number of transistors is reduced from 42 in the conventional full adder to 11 in the proposed MOD–GDI design. As a result, the proposed 4-bit CSA with MOD–GDI technique is efficient in improving the speed of addition by reducing the area and power consumption.","PeriodicalId":512011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanoelectronics and Materials (IJNeaM)","volume":"100 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141352537","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}

However, transferring graphene from metal substrates has destructive effects on the electrical characteristics of the graphene film, leading to severe impurities and defects. Here, we investigated a new approach of technique to synthesis direct- growth semiconducting graphene via atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) method. In this study we observe the effects of different reaction times, carbon concentrations and temperatures on the carbon arrangement in graphene. The synthesised graphene was characterised by Raman spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to observe the quality of graphene formation. From the Raman analysis, the I2D/IG ratio < 1 indicates the formation of graphene in multiple layers. The ID /IG ratio < 1 was also observed, indicating that the graphene has less disorder of defects. Based on the electrical measurement of the material at estimated distance of 250 μm, a higher I2D/IG ratio leads to a higher resistance. Full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 2D band shows graphene with the highest I2D/IG ratio has the lowest value of FWHM. As the conclusion, these directly grown semiconducting graphene layers can be efficiently integrated into biosensors without any complex post-treatment process.","PeriodicalId":512011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanoelectronics and Materials (IJNeaM)","volume":"135 44","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141351303","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 results indicate that the incorporation of BSW enhances the porosity of the cathode without significantly affecting its crystalline structure. As the amount of BSW increased from 10 to 40 wt.%, the porosity level increased from 7.0% to 32.7%, and the density of the samples decreased from 1.3 to 0.9 g/cm3, thereby supporting the results of the porosity analysis. Increased cathode porosity can enhance reactant accessibility to active sites, potentially resulting in improved cell performance and durability.

Unfortunately, current technologies and methodologies have proven inadequate in mitigating atmospheric CO2 levels to the good indoor air quality. Hence, the pressing need to conceive and develop innovative and cost-effective CO2 removal techniques and technologies. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising materials in the pursuit of effective CO2 removal, owing to their distinctive properties. Characterized by their porous structures and expansive internal surface areas, MOFs exhibit a remarkable capacity for CO2 adsorption. In this study, we embarked on the synthesis of MOFs employing aluminum chloride hexahydrate in conjunction with two distinct organic ligands, namely, benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (BTC) and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC). Our research endeavors aimed to study the influence of varying molar ratios of metal precursor to organic ligand on the adsorption capacity and structural characteristics of the resultant MOF structures. The results elucidated that Al-BDC possesses superior CO2 adsorption performance relative to Al-BTC. Specifically, the 1:3 molar ratio of Al-BDC emerged as the highest CO2 adsorption performance among all the assessed samples. This finding suggested the potential suitability of Al-BDC for CO2 adsorption applications.","PeriodicalId":512011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanoelectronics and Materials (IJNeaM)","volume":"72 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141350398","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}

We implied 20 μm interelectrode gap for Staphylococcus aureus application produced higher magnitude DEP force.

This research explores the influence of drill bit design on the drilling process stack-up materials, which comprise Aramid Fiber Reinforced Plastic Composite Laminates (AFRP) and Aluminum Al7075-T6. Three distinct bit designs were employed in the experiment, conducted on a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine operating at a spindle speed of 2000 rev/min and a feed rate of 0.05 mm/rev. To measure thrust force during drilling, a dynamometer was integrated into the setup. Subsequently, a roughness tester was utilized to assess the hole surface roughness of the stack-up materials. For AFRP materials, the w-point drill design emerged as the optimal choice, reducing thrust force by approximately 5% to 13% compared to other drill bit designs. Conversely, for Al7075-T6 panels, the tapered web drill design demonstrated exceptional results, lowering thrust force by approximately 21% and 50% in comparison to burnishing and w-point drill bits, respectively. In terms of hole surface roughness, the burnishing drill type consistently produced the smoothest surfaces, boasting significant improvements of 44% and 82% when compared to the tapered web and w-point drill bits for AFRP panels. Similarly, for Al7075-T6 panels, the burnishing drill type consistently outperformed the tapered web and w-point drill bits by 74% and 88%, respectively, in achieving a superior hole surface finish.
