The proposed device exhibited a self-limited, self-rectified, asymmetric current-voltage characteristic with excellent Roff/Ron ratio >400 and rectification ratio >200. Also, the device has shown good retention(>103) property. Moreover, it has been observed that the device exhibits non-zero crossover characteristics predominantly seen in negatively formed devices, emulating the behavior of a one diode-one RRAM combination. Besides, it is reported that by modulating the input voltage sweeps, we can fine-tune the device characteristics to achieve asymmetric, analog, or digital switching properties to use in desired applications.","PeriodicalId":6791,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 21st International Conference on Nanotechnology (NANO)","volume":"65 1","pages":"17-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74989507","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 qualitative identification accuracy of PA under the interference of Human Serum Albumin (HSA) could reach 99.17%. In the quantitative prediction of PA concentration, the ability of CNN model (R2=0.856) was higher than that of the traditional partial least squares (PLS) method, which provides support for SERS quantitative analysis. Therefore, CNN could effectively identify and predict PA concentration with Raman spectrum, which would be helpful to expand the application of SERS technology in the field of the diagnosis of infectious disease.","PeriodicalId":6791,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 21st International Conference on Nanotechnology (NANO)","volume":"27 1","pages":"155-158"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74858259","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}

Valorisation of this solid waste stream presents obvious economic, social, and environmental incentives within the context of waste utilisation and environmental protection. However, the origin of the biomass (the regional plantation) used during the combustion, dictates the physicochemical properties of this solid residue, making it suitable for specific applications while rendering it less favourable for others. In this study, a nanoporous zeolite as a CO2 adsorbent has been synthesised from industrial-grade biomass combustion fly ash generated in one of the largest biomass combustion power plants in the UK. The method of nanoporous zeolite synthesis follows a fusion-assisted hydrothermal procedure and the produced nanoporous zeolite has been characterised by X-ray diffraction. The CO2 adsorption investigations were conducted via thermogravimetric analysis to estimate the uptake capacity of the prepared adsorbents. TGA studies suggest that the nanoporous adsorbent, run under 100 mol% CO2 at atmospheric pressure, has an equilibrium capacity of over 0.8 mmolCO2/g at 50°C. The characterisation results are in good agreement with our CO2 adsorption data, demonstrating the nanoporous structure of our synthesised waste-derived zeolites.","PeriodicalId":6791,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 21st International Conference on Nanotechnology (NANO)","volume":"19 1","pages":"233-236"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81729727","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}

Firstly, according to the motion characteristics and working environment of the manipulator, a segmentation criterion was established to divide the manipulation tasks into several different meta-tasks. Secondly, the motion trajectories of the same meta-tasks divided by multiple demonstration was filtered by moving average filter, and procrustes dynamic time warping (pDTW) was used for timing alignment. Then, Gaussian mixture model (GMM) was used to characterize the motion characteristics of the meta-tasks, and the optimal motion trajectories of the meta-tasks were generated by Gaussian mixture regression (GMR). Finally, according to the optimal meta-task trajectories, Dynamic Movement Primitive (DMP) was used to learn the motor skills of meta-tasks, and the meta-tasks library was recorded and created.

After geometry optimisation, it is found that only vacancy induced armchair graphene nanoribbon can form strong binding with the biomarker, whereas Stone Wales defect induced armchair graphene nanoribbon show disassociation with the biomarker by having positive adsorption energy. Using density functional theory, the electronic properties of a vacancy-induced armchair graphene nanoribbon with and without adsorption of methanethiol are calculated, showing that methanethiol adsorption leads to increment in the bandgap of the host material by eliminating the trapping states.

Preferring a well developed geometric form of information theory over a theoretically possible geometric-Bayesian approach for these classifications is the only subjective choice made. Using digital data planes and assuming approximately Gaussian distributed generalized noise, reasonable crystallographic and quasicrystallographic symmetry classifications can be made for noisy images from both scanning probe and transmission electron microscopes.
