Published: July 2002

The elastic electronic channels through a single hydrogen atom adsorbed on a Ge(111)-c(2 x 8) surface have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy and I(V) spectroscopy, whereas inelastic channels have been probed by the vertical and horizontal manipulation of individual hydrogen atoms. The substrate temperature, over the range 30-300 K, has proven to be a powerful parameter to freeze specific electronic channels, offering the possible control of elastic and inelastic channels through a single atom. This opens up very interesting perspectives for controlling the operation of nanodevices.

Residents' willingness and awareness to participate in internet+nursing service in China: A meta-analysis.

Medicine (Baltimore)

January 2025

Department of Geriatric Cardiology Nursing, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China.

Background: The internet + nursing service is an important initiative for implementing the strategy of healthy China and actively responding to the aging of the population. However, the current literature on residents' awareness and willingness to participate is insufficient and presents large variations and limitations. Therefore, this study aims to systematically evaluate the awareness and willingness of Chinese residents to participate in internet + nursing service to comprehensively understand the level of awareness and acceptance of this emerging service model among Chinese residents and to provide strong support for relevant policy formulation and service optimization.

High-performance ternary logic circuits and neural networks based on carbon nanotube source-gating transistors.

Key Laboratory for the Physics and Chemistry of Nanodevices and Center for Carbon-Based Electronics, School of Electronics, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China.

Multi-valued logics (MVLs) offer higher information density, reduced circuit and interconnect complexity, lower power dissipation, and faster speed over conventional binary logic system. Recent advancement in MVL research, particularly with emerging low-dimensional materials, suggests that breakthroughs may be imminent if multistates transistors can be fabricated controllably for large-scale integration. Here, a concept of source-gating transistors (SGTs) is developed and realized using carbon nanotubes (CNTs).

Diffraction imaging of cells allows rapid phenotyping by the response of intracellular molecules to coherent illumination. However, its ability to distinguish numerous types of human leukocytes remains to be investigated. Here, we show that accurate classification of three lymphocyte subtypes can be achieved with features extracted from cross-polarized diffraction image (p-DI) pairs.

Nanoscale Titanium Oxide Memristive Structures for Neuromorphic Applications: Atomic Force Anodization Techniques, Modeling, Chemical Composition, and Resistive Switching Properties.

January 2025

Research Laboratory Neuroelectronics and Memristive Nanomaterials (NEUROMENA Lab), Institute of Nanotechnologies, Electronics and Electronic Equipment Engineering, Southern Federal University, Taganrog 347922, Russia.

This paper presents the results of a study on the formation of nanostructures of electrochemical titanium oxide for neuromorphic applications. Three anodization synthesis techniques were considered to allow the formation of structures with different sizes and productivity: nanodot, lateral, and imprint. The mathematical model allowed us to calculate the processes of oxygen ion transfer to the reaction zone; the growth of the nanostructure due to the oxidation of the titanium film; and the formation of TiO, TiO, and TiO oxides in the volume of the growing nanostructure and the redistribution of oxygen vacancies and conduction channel.

Flat-Band AC Transport in Nanowires.

December 2024

Instituto de Investigaciones en Materiales, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico City 04510, Mexico.

The electronic states in flat bands possess zero group velocity and null charge mobility. Recently, flat electronic bands with fully localized states have been predicted in nanowires, when their hopping integrals between first, second, and third neighbors satisfy determined relationships. Experimentally, these relationships can only be closely achieved under external pressures.
