Fabrication of crossed junctions of semiconducting and metallic carbon nanotubes : A CNT-gated CNT-FET

We have developed a method to fabricate crossed junctions between semiconducting (s) and metallic (m) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) combining electric field directed chemical vapor deposition growth and dielectrophoretic alignment. By separating the s- and m-CNTs with a thin dielectric an ultrasmall field effect transistor (FET) was fabricated. By using the m-CNT as a gate it was possible to modulate th

Electromagnetic scattering from a buried three-dimensional inhomogeneity in a lossy ground

The T matrix method (also called the "extended boundary condi tion method" or "null field approach") introduced by Waterman, has recently been generalized to interfaces of infinite extent (G. Kristensson and S. Strom, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 64917936 (1978) and G. Kristensson, Electromagnetic Scattering from Buried Inhomogeneities - a General Three Dimensional Formalism", Rep. 78-42, Inst. of Theoreti

A critical analysis of the potential for EU Common Agricultural Policy measures to support wild pollinators on farmland

Agricultural intensification and associated loss of high-quality habitats are key drivers of insect pollinator declines. With the aim of decreasing the environmental impact of agriculture, the 2014 EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) defined a set of habitat and landscape features (Ecological Focus Areas: EFAs) farmers could select from as a requirement to receive basic farm payments. To inform th

A carbon nanotube gated carbon nanotube transistor with 5 ps gate delay

Semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive as channel material for field-effect transistors due to their high carrier mobility. In this paper we show that a local CNT gate can provide a significant improvement in the subthreshold slope of a CNT transistor compared to back gate switching and provide gate delays as low as 5 ps. The CNT gated CNT transistor devices are fabricated using a t

Field emission induced deformations in SiO2 during CVD growth of carbon nanotubes

The application of an electric field while growing carbon nanotubes with CVD can induce deformations in the SiO2 substrate. The effect is attributed to field emission from the tubes and Marangoni convection in a small molten SiO2 region underneath the tubes. Postgrowth deformation has been performed as well as large scale deformations using the collective effect of many field emitters. The porosit

Electric field aligned growth of single-walled carbon nanotubes

Electric field aligned, single-walled carbon nanotubes are grown between electrodes using thermal chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of methane. The growth occurs on a thin film layered catalyst of aluminium, iron and molybdenum patterned on top of electrodes. The nanotubes bridge 10 μm sized electrode gaps and have a typical diameter of less than 2 nm as measured by Raman spectroscopy and atomic fo

Memory, Intermediality, Literature : Something to hold on to

Memory, Intermediality, and Literature investigates how selected literary works use intermedial strategies to represent and perform cultural memory. Drawing on the theoretical perspectives of cultural memory studies, this engaging, reader-friendly monograph examines new materialism and intermediality studies, analyzying works by Alexander Kluge, W.G. Sebald, Jonathan Safran Foer, Anne Carson, Mett

The False Problem of Urbane Design

Urbane design concerns itself with promoting thequalities associated with the urban – dynamism, transversal networks, etc. – in places where these do not(yet) exist. Urbane design can be considered a neoliberal off-shoot of ‘urban curating’ and other contemporary forms of extending architectural practice intothe social realm. The urbane designer is the creativemanager of the creative city, whose s

Sintering of cBN Based Materials with a TaC Binder for Cutting Tool Application

Abstract: Ceramic matrix composites based on cubic boron nitride with a TaC binder phase are sintered under conditions of high pressure and high temperature. The sintering is carried out in a high-pressure apparatus of the toroid type in the temperature range of 1450–2450°C. It is shown that a chemical reaction between components of the mixture with the formation of TaB2 takes place at a sintering

Sex pheromone components of the turnip moth, Agrotis segetum - Chemical identification, electrophysiological evaluation and behavioral activity

Analysis of female abdominal tips of Agrotis segetum by means of GC-MS showed the presence of 13 aliphatic acetates and alcohols. (Z)-7-Dodecenyl acetate was found to be the main component in the extracts at amounts of about 1 ng/female. (Z)-9-Tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)-7-dodecenol were present to the extent of 49 and 19%, respectively, of the main component. Minor components could be identified

Targeted mass spectrometry for Serum Amyloid A (SAA) isoform profiling in sequential blood samples from experimentally Staphylococcus aureus infected pigs

Serum amyloid A (SAA) is a well-described acute phase protein induced during the acute phase response (APR) to infection. Four isoform specific genes are found in most mammals. Depending on species, SAA3 and SAA4 are ge0nerally preferentially expressed extrahepatically whereas SAA1 and SAA2 are hepatic isoforms dominating the SAA serum pool. Little is known about how specific infections affect the

Testing two-nucleon transfer reaction mechanism with elementary modes of excitation in exotic nuclei

Nuclear Field Theory of structure and reactions is confronted with observations made on neutron halo dripline nuclei, resulting in the prediction of a novel (symbiotic) mode of nuclear excitation, and on the observation of the virtual effect of the halo phenomenon in the apparently non-halo nucleus 7Li. This effect is forced to become real by intervening the virtual process with an external (t,p)
