Resistively-Detected NMR and Nuclear Resonance Imaging
07 May 2020 | | Contributor(s):: Yoshiro Hirayama
NMR provides us versatile tool to physical, chemical, biological, and medical characterizations. However, conventional NMR suffers low sensitivity and cannot be applied to semiconductor quantum systems, such as single quantum well or wire. To overcome these difficulties,...

Use of RBT unreleased NEM resonator models for device (topological) optimization
26 Apr 2017 | | Contributor(s):: Bichoy W. Bahr
The use of Phononic Crystals (PnC) in suspended structures and microstructures, such as plates and slabs, has gained a lot of attention in the past years for the wide range of feasible applications (acoustic waveguides, acoustic insulation, acoustic cloaking) and for the easy fabrication...

Machine learned approximations to Density Functional Theory Hamiltonians - Towards High-Throughput Screening of Electronic Structure and Transport in Materials
13 Dec 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Ganesh Krishna Hegde
We present results from our recent work on direct machine learning of DFT Hamiltonians. We show that approximating DFT Hamiltonians accurately by direct learning is feasible and compare them to existing semi-empirical approaches to the problem. The technique we have proposed requires little...

[Illinois] Peptide Release from the Cells of the Dorsal Root Ganglion upon Application of Tensile Strain
04 Feb 2014 | | Contributor(s):: Emily Tillmaand
Morphological and electrophysiological studies have shown that neurons respond to specific mechanical environments. However, studies linking specific neuropeptide release based on changes in the mechanical environment are lacking. To further study the effect of mechanical stress on the cells of...

Structure and Morphology of Silicon Germanium Thin Films
30 Dec 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Brian Demczyk
Single layer silicon and germanium films as well as nominally 50-50 silicon-germanium alloys were deposited on single crystal silicon and germanium (001) and (111) substrates by ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition. These films spanned the range of + 4 % film-substrate lattice mismatch. A...

Why quantum dot simulation domain must contain multi-million atoms?
11 Jan 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Muhammad Usman
The InGaAs quantum dots obtained from the self-assembly growth process are heavily strained. The long-range strain and piezoelectric fields significantly modifies the electronic structure of the quantum dots. This imposes a critical constraint on the minimum size of the simulation domain to study...

Excited State Spectroscopy of a Quantum Dot Molecule
11 Jan 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Muhammad Usman
Atomistic electronic structure calculations are performed to study the coherent inter-dot couplings of the electronic states in a single InGaAs quantum dot molecule. The experimentally observed excitonic spectrum by Krenner et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 057402, 2005) is quantitatively reproduced,...

Polarization Response of Multi-layer InAs Quantum Dot Stacks
25 Oct 2011 | | Contributor(s):: Muhammad Usman
Recent experimental measurements, without any theoretical guidance, showed that isotropic polarization response can be achieved by increasing the number of QD layers in a QD stack. In this work, we analyse the polarization response of multi-layer quantum dot stacks containing up to nine quantum...

Experiments and Models Regarding Strain Dependent Thermal Conductivity and Strength at the Nanoscale and Microscale
22 Sep 2011 | | Contributor(s):: Vikas Tomar
Silicon micro- and nano-structures are essential in today’s integrated circuits and sensors. The functioning and performance of such devices are highly affected by thermal properties. Due to the size effect, the thermal properties of bulk silicon cannot represent those of silicon...

Quantitative Modeling and Simulation of Quantum Dots
18 Apr 2011 | | Contributor(s):: Muhammad Usman
Quantum dots grown by self-assembly process are typically constructed by 50,000 to 5,000,000 structural atoms which confine a small, countable number of extra electrons or holes in a space that is comparable in size to the electron wavelength. Under such conditions quantum dots can be interpreted...
