Nanomagnets with small shape anisotropy energy barriers on the order of the thermal energy have unstable magnetization that fluctuates randomly in time. They have recently emerged as promising hardware platforms for stochastic computing and…
Electron beam induced deposition of amorphous carbon finds several uses in microlithography, surface micromachining, and the manufacturing of micro- and nanomechanical devices. This process also occurs unintentionally in vacuum chambers of…
The linear magnetoelectric effect was measured in 500 nm Cr2O3 films grown by rf sputtering on Al2O3 substrates between top and bottom thin film Pt electrodes. Magnetoelectric susceptibility was measured directly by applying an AC electric…
Electrochemical biosensors and the related concept of redox detection at nanogap electrodes are increasingly explored for ultra-sensitive detection of biomolecules. While experimental demonstrations have been encouraging, the associated…
We study the impact of plasma correlation effects on nonresonant thermonuclear reactions for various stellar objects, namely in the liquid envelopes of neutron stars, and the interiors of white dwarfs, low-mass stars, and substellar…
The structure of the electron quantum size levels in spherical nanocrystals is studied in the framework of an eight--band effective mass model at zero and weak magnetic fields. The effect of the nanocrystal surface is modeled through the…
Single T4-DNA molecules were confined in rectangular-shaped channels with a depth of 300 nm and a width in the range 150-300 nm casted in a poly(dimethylsiloxane) nanofluidic chip. The extensions of the DNA molecules were measured with…
In 3D and 2D electronic systems the singular contribution to the static permittivity $\epsilon$ (Kohn singularity) is a small correction to the regular part of $\epsilon$ but it results in the leading term in asymptotic behavior of the…
In this review article, we focus on emerging nanocantilever based biological sensors and discuss the response of nanocantilevers towards bio-molecules capture. The article guides the reader through various modes of operation (e.g., static…
The electromagnetic response of a nanoparticle of an ion-doped polymeric elastic insulator, commonly called as an electret, is considered in the continuum model of a uniformly charged elastic sphere. The spectral formulae for the frequency…
Screening in reduced dimensions has strong consequences on the electronic properties in van der Waals semiconductors, impacting the quasiparticle band gap and exciton binding energy. Screening in these materials is typically treated…
Two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectrics offer the potential for ultrathin flexible nanoelectronics, typically utilizing a metal-ferroelectric-metal sandwich structure as the functional unit. Electrodes can either contribute free carriers to…
The shape memory effect and pseudoelasticity in Cu nanowires is one possible pair of mechanisms that prevents high aspect ratio nanosized field electron emitters to be stable at room temperature and permits their growth under high electric…
We have studied quantization and confinement effects in nanostructured superconductors. Three different types of nanostructured samples were investigated: individual structures (line, loop, dot), 1-dimensional (1D) clusters of loops and 2D…
Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is a material having an intrinsically high radiation hardness that can be deposited on flexible substrates like Polyimide. For these properties a-Si:H can be used for the production of flexible…
Thermal transport in nanostructures plays a critical role in modern technologies. As devices shrink, techniques that can measure thermal properties at nanometer and nanosecond scales are increasingly needed to capture transient,…
Controlling thermal energy transfer at the nanoscale has become critically important in many applications and thermal properties since it often limits device performance. In this work, we study the effects on thermal conductivity arising…
We report measurements of the resistance of silicon MOSFETs as a function of temperature in high parallel magnetic fields where the 2D system of electrons has been shown to be fully spin-polarized. A magnetic field suppresses the metallic…
This theoretical and numerical study investigates the impact of electrostatic stresses on the shape of charged water structures (grains) in weakly ionized plasmas. We developed an analytic model to predict the conditions under which a grain…
