Review: Electrostatically actuated nanobeam-based nanoelectromechanical switches – materials solutions and operational conditions

2018

This review summarizes relevant research in the field of electrostatically actuated nanobeam-based nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switches. The main switch architectures and structural elements are briefly described and compared. Investigation methods that allow for exploring coupled electromechanical interactions as well as studies of mechanically or electrically induced effects are covered. An examination of the complex nanocontact behaviour during various stages of the switching cycle is provided. The choice of the switching element and the electrode is addressed from the materials perspective, detailing the benefits and drawbacks for each. An overview of experimentally demonstrated NEM swi…

Metal-nanoparticle-G4-DNA conjugates and their DC conductivity measurements

2013

Due to superior self-assembly properties, DNA is a very promising candidate for the basis of future bottom-up solutions for molecular electronics and therefore the conductivity of DNA is a very crucial question. In this work DC conductivity measurements on conjugates consisting of G-quadruplex DNA and metal nanoparticles were carried out. The fabrication and results obtained from the electrical measurements of three types of conjugates (20nm G4-AgNP chains, 20nm G4-AuNP flowers and 60nm G4-AuNPs) are reported. Additionally, 20nm AuNP chains coated with G4 were fabricated but not measured electrically. Results reported here indicate that in ambient conditions G4-DNA exhibits insulating behav…

Supramolecular Modification of ABC Triblock Terpolymers in Confinement Assembly

2018

The self-assembly of AB diblock copolymers in three-dimensional (3D) soft confinement of nanoemulsions has recently become an attractive bottom up route to prepare colloids with controlled inner morphologies. In that regard, ABC triblock terpolymers show a more complex morphological behavior and could thus give access to extensive libraries of multicompartment microparticles. However, knowledge about their self-assembly in confinement is very limited thus far. Here, we investigated the confinement assembly of polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(tert-butyl methacrylate) (PS-b-P4VP-b-PT or SVT) triblock terpolymers in nanoemulsion droplets. Depending on the block weight fractio…

IDM 2021 - Noether

El pòster mostra una factorització. A la part superior trobem una aplicació f, de A a B, representat pel treball de recollir verdures del camp i dipositar-les al magatzem. Es descompon en tres aplicacions, una sobrejectiva (a l'esquerra), la projecció d'A a A/Ker(f), donada per la partició de les verdures segons el seu lloc d'emmagatzematge; una aplicació bijectiva (inferior), des d’A/Ker(f) fins a Im(f), donada pel dipòsit de les piles a les caixes corresponents; i una d’injectiva (dreta), la inclusió d’Im(f) a B, donada pel moviment de les caixes cap al seu destí. L’agricultor és la matemàtica Emmy Noether, autora d’aquest teorema i una figura fonamental de l’àlgebra actual. Aquest pòster…

Solvatochromic behaviour of new donor–acceptor oligothiophenes

2021

Oligothiophene derivatives play a central role in the formulation of materials used in devices in the field of organic electronics. In this work, we report the results of the study of UV-vis absorption and fluorescence spectra, in several solvents, of a series of oligothiophenes recently synthesized in our laboratory. The studied oligothiophenes present different structures due to several factors: the donor– acceptor (D–A) or acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A) architecture, the number of thiophene rings in the backbone (ranging from three to eight), the number and position of solubilizing octyl chains in the backbone, and the type of acceptor moieties (from Knoevenagel condensation either with…

Ones superficials de Dyakonov en metamaterials

2016

Les interfícies planes entre materials diferents juguen un paper important en molts fenòmens òptics. En òptica fonamental, per exemple, la interfície és la responsable de la reflexió i la refracció. No obstant això, quan succeeix el fenomen de la reflexió total interna es pot discernir un canvi més gradual del camp prop de la interfície. Així Newton es va adonar que l’ona incident, que pareix que no entra en el material refractant, realment sí que penetra en este material amb una amplitud que decau exponencialment en una distància microscòpica. L’ona penetrant, coneguda com ona evanescent, va ser considerada només una curiositat teòrica. Recentment, però, les ones evanescent s’han utilitzat…

4,4'-[Thiophene-2,5-diylbis(ethyne-2,1-diyl)]dibenzonitrile

2008

In the solid state, the title compound, C(22)H(10)N(2)S, forms centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of non-classical C-H⋯S hydrogen bonds linking approximately coplanar mol-ecules. The benzene ring involved in this inter-action makes a dihedral angle of only 7.21 (16)° with the thio-phene ring, while the other benzene ring is twisted somewhat out of the plane, with a dihedral angle of 39.58 (9)°. The hydrogen-bonded dimers stack on top of each other with an inter-planar spacing of 3.44 Å. C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link together stacks that run in approximately perpendicular directions. Each mol-ecule thus inter-acts with 12 adjacent mol-ecules, five of them approaching closer than the sum of the van …

Synthesis, Structure and Solvatochromism of the Emission of Cyano-Substituted Oligo(phenylenevinylene)s

2001

Strongly luminescent and highly soluble oligo(phenylenevinylene)s with five benzene rings and cyano groups in different positions of the terminal styrene units were prepared by means of Horner and Knoevenagel reactions. The substitution pattern − cyanide moieties on the vinyl or on the aromatic regions, together with the effect of auxochromic groups − has distinct influences on the electronic spectra, particularly on the fluorescence. Polar solvents induce red shifts and strongly reduce the fluorescence intensity of the vinyl-substituted oligomers. Cyano substitution increases the electron affinity of the oligomers; this effect is more pronounced for molecules with vinyl cyanides and can be…

Conductivity measurements of DNA TX tile and origami structures

2011

Tässä tutkielmassa on tutkittu kahden erilaisen itsejärjestyvän DNA-rakenteen sähkönjohtavuutta nanomittakaavassa. Ensimmäinen rakenteista on suorakaiteenmuotoinen kaksiulotteinen DNA-levy kooltaan noin 70×100 nm2 toisen ollessa selvästi kapeampi, noin 10×60 nm2. Suurin ero rakenteiden välillä on valmistusmenetelmä: isompi rakenne on valmistettu origamitekniikalla ja pienempi niin sanottua tiilimenetelmää käyttäen. Molekyylielektroniikan kannalta DNA:n sähkönjohtavuus on oleellinen asia, sillä DNA on itsejärjestäytymisominaisuuksiensa vuoksi osoittautunut hyvin lupaavaksi molekyyliksi: yksinkertaisten nanoskaalan laitteiden valmistus käyttäen DNA-pohjaisia menetelmiä on jo mahdollista. Työs…
