It has been recently reported that the electrical charge in a semiconductive carbon nanotube is not evenly distributed, but rather it is divided into charge ""islands."" This paper links the aforementioned phenomenon to tunneling and provides further insight into the higher rate of tunneling processes, which makes tunneling devices attractive. This paper also provides a basis for calculating the charge profile over the length of the tube so that nanoscale ...
This document provides a directory of existing manufacturing technology centers. To be included in the directory, the centers must (1) be involved in manufacturing research and (2) be available to the manufacturing community on a free or fee basis. Corporate or government manufacturing research activities with limited availability were not included nor were activities such as professional societies and trade associations which do not normally conduct research. These criteria were ...
