Recent experimental work on the chemical functionalization of single-wall carbon nanotubes
and its implication on the tubes' electronic and vibrational properties are surveyed. The …

The first reported work on electromigration (EM) was presented in 1959, and since then
extensive studies on the EM are being conducted theoretically, experimentally and …

Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are
extremely interesting for integration in nanoelectronic devices where they represent the …

Various factors affect the performance of electrical contacts, including tribological,
mechanical, electrical, and materials aspects. Although these behaviors have been studied …

We investigate the limits of high energy transport in multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs).
In contrast to metal wires, MWNTs do not fail in the continuous, accelerating manner typical …

We first discuss the one-dimensional (1D) electronic structure of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
and its influence on the carrier scattering mechanisms in metallic CNTs. We then focus our …

We have developed a controlled and highly reproducible method of making nanometer-
spaced electrodes using electromigration in ambient lab conditions. This advance will make …

Graphene demonstrated potential for practical applications owing to its excellent electronic
and thermal properties. Typical graphene field-effect transistors and interconnects built on …

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) have emerged as a promising security primitive for
low-cost authentication and cryptographic key generation. However, PUF stability with …

Here we discuss two different processes that can be used to locally oxidize silicon or metals
and are promising for the fabrication of model nanoelectronic devices. The first involves …
