The energy gap between two quantum states increases linearly with the applied external magnetic field strength. The electron spin resonance (ESR) peaks at the moment that the microwave wave photo energy is exactly equal to the electron energy gap. Previous researches demonstrated spatially resolved electron spin resonances using evanescent microwave magnetic-dipole probe at 3.7 GHz on the ruby surface. The minimum number of detected electron spin centers was in the range of 20,000 to 30,000. This paper is to present a new ESR detection technique by integrating the atomic force microscopy (AFM) with near field microwave probe. With smaller probe tips, the spatially confined magnetic field is expected to increase the sensitivity of ESR detections. Both AFM and near field microwave probe techniques are non-destructive and non-invasive measurement techniques. Thus, the new technique will be a powerful instrument for many applications that include the detection of material defect pockets, detecting free radicals in biological tissues, and the analysis of structure and dynamics of biomembranes. Our ultimate objective is to spatially detect single electron spin center and use the single electron as one quantum bit in future spintronic devices.","PeriodicalId":6415,"journal":{"name":"2007 7th IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE NANO)","volume":"27 1","pages":"422-425"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73328062","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 compare the performance of optimized inductors realized using SWCNT bundles and standard copper technology. The results indicate that SWCNT bundle-based inductors can provide up to a 144% increase in quality factor. The higher quality factors of SWCNT bundle-based inductors enable up to an 80% power consumption decrease in low noise amplifiers, which are critical circuits in integrated wireless receivers.","PeriodicalId":6415,"journal":{"name":"2007 7th IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE NANO)","volume":"79 1","pages":"714-718"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76651766","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}

Parameters of the electric field are computed numerically using Ansoftreg. Both transient and steady state results are studied. The transient results shows the CNT trace grows linearly initially. This is followed by an asymptotic widening of the trace before a constant steady-state trace width is reached. The steady-state trace width (1) increases with electrode tip angle, (2) increases with increasing potential, and (3) is not affected by the frequency of the applied potential.

To alleviate this problem, an image-based approach is proposed in this paper to model and then compensate for the hysteresis behavior of the piezo-scanner. Specifically, some scanning images over calibration grating are utilized to identify the parameters of the classical Preisach model (CPM) of hysteresis. Based on the obtained model, an inversion-based technique is adopted to design a compensator for the hysteresis of piezo-scanner. The proposed algorithm presents such advantages of low cost and little complexity since no nano-sensor is required to collect identification data.
