Folded flexure MOEMS for the detection of PSA and hepatitis DNA as biosensor for prostate cancer and viruses.

Micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) biosensors are employed in various applications such as disease monitoring, drug investigation, detection of pollutants, and biological fluid studies. In this paper, a novel MOEMS biosensor based on a differential folded-flexure structure is introduced. The designed device is employed to detect prostate-specific antigen (PSA) protein and Hepatitis DNA.

A Theoretical Study of Armchair Antimonene Nanoribbons in the Presence of Uniaxial Strain Based on First-Principles Calculations.

The optimized geometry and also the electronic and transport properties of passivated edge armchair antimonene nanoribbons (ASbNRs) are studied using calculations. Due to quantum confinement, the size of the bandgap can be modulated from 1.2 eV to 2.

Numerical investigation of the effect of substrate surface roughness on the performance of zigzag graphene nanoribbon field effect transistors symmetrically doped with BN.

The performance of field effect transistors comprised of a zigzag graphene nanoribbon that is symmetrically doped with boron nitride (BN) as a channel material, is numerically studied for the first time. The device merit for digital applications is investigated in terms of the on-, the off- and the on/off-current ratio. Due to the strong effect of the substrate roughness on the performance of graphene devices, three common substrate materials (SiO2, BN and mica) are examined.
