Single-molecule detection at a nanometric interface in a femtomolar solution, can take weeks as the encounter rate between the diffusing molecule to be detected and the transducing nano-device is negligibly small. On the other hand, several…
We present an analytical framework that predicts and controls nanoparticle size through external magnetic fields, uniting first-principles thermodynamics with a sphere packing approach. Calibrated to diamagnetic silver nanoparticles (20 nm…
Spin defects in semiconductors are widely investigated for various applications in quantum sensing. Conventional host materials such as diamond and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) provide bulk or low-dimensional platforms for optically…
Capacitance of a nanoscale system is usually thought of having two contributions, a classical electrostatic contribution and a quantum contribution dependent on the density of states and/or molecular orbitals close to the Fermi energy. In…
Graphene is an ideal material for fabricating atomically thin nanometre spaced electrodes. Recently, carbon-based nanoelectrodes have been employed to create single-molecule transistors and phase change memory devices. In spite of the…
With the rapid advances in the development of nanotechnology, nowadays, the sizes of elementary unit, i.e. transistor, of micro- and nanoelectronic devices are well deep into nanoscale. For the pursuit of cheaper and faster nanoscale…
With decreasing device dimensions, the performance of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) is limited by high Off currents except at low drain voltages. We show that an asymmetric design improves the performance, reducing Off…
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond can be used as quantum sensors to image the magnetic field with nanoscale resolution. However, nanoscale electric-field mapping has not been achieved so far because of the relatively weak coupling…

Creating a transmon qubit using semiconductor-superconductor hybrid materials not only provides electrostatic control of the qubit frequency, it also allows parts of the circuit to be electrically connected and disconnected in situ by…
An effective Hamiltonian scheme is developed to investigate structural and magnetic properties of BiFeO3 nanodots under short-circuit-like electrical boundary conditions. Various striking effects are discovered. Examples include (a) scaling…
Sensors that are able to detect and track single unlabelled biomolecules are an important tool both to understand biomolecular dynamics and interactions at nanoscale, and for medical diagnostics operating at their ultimate detection limits.…
A numerical simulation of spin-dependent quantum transport for a spin field effect transistor (spinFET) is implemented in a widely used simulator nanoMOS. This method includes the effect of both spin relaxation in the channel and the…
Biosensing with ferromagnet-based magnetoresistive devices has been dominated by electrical detection of particle-induced changes to the devices' static magnetic configuration. There are however potential advantages to be gained from using…
The elegant simplicity of the device concept and the urgent need for a new "transistor" at the twilight of Moore's law have inspired many researchers in industry and academia to explore the physics and technology of negative capacitance…

Mechanical resonators based on a single carbon nanotube are exceptional sensors of mass and force. The force sensitivity in these ultra-light resonators is often limited by the noise in the detection of the vibrations. Here, we report on an…
