2 WAYS SELF ASSEMBLY MAY BE USED TO PRODUCE MAGNETIC NANOWIRES
Introduction The process of forming an ordered aggregate by a set of constituents or components spontaneously through their global energy minimization is called self assembly (Ali, 2005; Robinson, 2003). One of the recent demands and challenges in today’s world is the development of nano-circuits and devices. These circuits can be formed by nano-electronic components and […]
Explanation and Realisation of Quantum Teleportation and its Applications
Introduction Quantum Teleportation is a means to transfer the state of a quantum system over large lengths by using entanglement (Zeilinger, 2007). Since ancient times, it is a desire to be able to travel from one place to another instantaneously. The basic idea of teleportation is that the sender examines the object to be teleported […]
ORGANIC SEMINCONDUCTORS, OVER A DECADE OF ACTIVE RESEARCH
Semiconductor devices may still be imaginable as they are incorporated in various objects that people can hardly live without on a day-to-day basis. Mobile phone, wireless phone, transistor radio, the TV set, and the like are just a few examples of computerised objects that make use of radio waves which largely depend on semiconductors (Brain, […]
Progress in Solid-State implementations of Quantum Computing
Overview About two decades ago quantum computing (QC) was introduced with a promise to the solution of many unmanageable problems (Ruggiero, 2005). Experiments related to a small group of qubits using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) showed that QC can be done (Keyes, 2003). After the arrival of powerful algorithms for quantum computation; efforts are made […]
Applications of STM/AFM Beyond Imaging
Introduction Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has been used for the last decade for applications in imaging. In particular it has been identified as a means of atom discrimination and identification (Sugimoto et al., 2009). There are however a number of other applications for SPM techniques which have been developed over recent years. Specific types of […]
Patent Application Review
The invention relates to a microfluidic switch for stopping a liquid flow for a period of time comprising a switch with at least one first channel, at least one second channel, a common area where the paths of the first and second channels meet, and a stopping mechanism at the end of the first channel. […]
PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS IN THE MATERIAL GROWTH PROCESS THAT AFFECT MAGNETO TRANSPORT PROPERTIES IN MULTILAYER MATERIALS
Magneto transport properties are of significant importance and provide one of the direct methods in the study of semiconductor physics and devices (1977). Numerous physical properties of semiconductor materials can be explored by investigating the longitudinal current, the temperature and the magnetic field dependence of the magnetic resistance voltage Vρ(B, T, I) and the Hall […]
Generic methodologies for Nanotechnology
1. Introduction about Soft Matter Soft nanotechnology is the study of how to control soft nanoscale structures and designing of new materials and devices with novel and valuable properties (Case and Alexandridis, 2004; Jones, 2004). Atoms and molecules are the basic building blocks of all matter. The length scale of Angstrom is used for the […]
Imaging Techniques – Investigation and Report
Medical imaging systems provide physicians with a tissue-specific visual representation of otherwise concealed clinical information within the body and hence enable them to perceive and implement unambiguous diagnostic procedures. This report investigates the clinical applications of Ultrasound and Radioisotopes, explicates the rudimentary physical principles of the techniques and outlines the diagnostic and therapeutic limitations as […]
