Building Super Structures Through “Buckyballs and Buckytubes” Anuraag Boddupalli* Manipal Institute of Technology, India
Boddupalli, 1:8 http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/scientificreports.396 Open Access Open Access Scientific Reports Scientific Reports Rapid Communication OpenOpen Access Access Building Super Structures through “Buckyballs and Buckytubes” Anuraag Boddupalli* Manipal Institute of Technology, India Abstract Fullerenes or buck series of hollow carbon molecules that form either a closed cage (“buckyballs”) or a cylinder (carbon “nanotubes”) represent an exciting group of nanomaterials which have a beauty and elegance that excites the imagination of scientists and nonscientists alike, as they bridge aesthetic gaps between the sciences, architecture, mathematics, engineering, and the visual arts. Since the discovery of fullerenes in 1985, structural variations on fullerenes have evolved well beyond the individual clusters themselves. Their tremendous significance is related to their unique chemistry, super conductivity, and their technological applications, especially in materials science, electronics, and nanotechnology. Researchers are now slowly unraveling the multifaceted attributes of these molecules for improving society and environment. Keywords: Carbon; Geodesic dome; Fullerenes; Nanotubes; Nanomotors Introduction Nanotechnology represents a subject which is a synthesis of different sciences and technologies at the nanometer scale. In other words, it involves a different approach to the way we arrange and rearrange matter, which in turn can be harnessed to develop need based technologies. Until 1985, graphite and diamond were believed to be the only naturally occurring forms of carbon. In the year 1902, seven year old Buckminster Fuller, like all his other classmates was given a set of toothpicks and peas to design whatever he wanted in the class. The objective of that exercise was to judge the creativity and aptitude of the child, but it took several years for people to realize the immense significance of the truncated icosahedron structure that little Figure 1: A buckminsterfullerene or a ‘Buckyball’ showing inter-atomic linkages. -

Low Frequency Electronic Noise in Single-Layer Mos2 Transistors
Low Frequency Electronic Noise in Single-Layer MoS2 Transistors Vinod K. Sangwan,1|| Heather N. Arnold,1|| Deep Jariwala,1 Tobin J. Marks,1,2 Lincoln J. Lauhon,1 and Mark C. Hersam1,2,* 1Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. 2Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. *e-mail: [email protected] KEYWORDS: molybdenum disulfide, transition metal dichalcogenide, 1/f noise, generation- recombination noise, Hooge parameter, nanoelectronics ABSTRACT: Ubiquitous low frequency 1/f noise can be a limiting factor in the performance and application of nanoscale devices. Here, we quantitatively investigate low frequency electronic noise in single-layer transition metal dichalcogenide MoS2 field-effect transistors. The measured 1/f noise can be explained by an empirical formulation of mobility fluctuations with the Hooge parameter ranging between 0.005 and 2.0 in vacuum (< 10-5 Torr). The field-effect 1 mobility decreased and the noise amplitude increased by an order of magnitude in ambient conditions, revealing the significant influence of atmospheric adsorbates on charge transport. In addition, single Lorentzian generation-recombination noise was observed to increase by an order of magnitude as the devices were cooled from 300 K to 6.5 K. TEXT: Recently, ultrathin films of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have attracted significant attention due to their unique electrical and optical properties.1-4 In particular, single- 5-7 8, 9 layer MoS2 is being heavily explored for low-power digital electronics, light detection and emission,10 valley-polarization,4 and chemical sensing applications.11 However, inherent low frequency electronic noise (i.e., 1/f noise or flicker noise) could limit the ultimate performance of MoS2 for these applications. -
