Nanotechnology Research Directions for Societal Needs in 2020 Science Policy Reports Nanotechnology Research Directions for Societal Needs in 2020 Science Policy Reports The series Science Policy Reports presents the endorsed results of important studies in basic and applied areas of science and technology. They include, to give just a few examples: panel reports exploring the practical and economic feasibility of a new technology; R & D studies of development opportunities for particular materi- als, devices or other inventions; reports by responsible bodies on technology stan- dardization in developing branches of industry. Sponsored typically by large organizations – government agencies, watchdogs, funding bodies, standards institutes, international consortia – the studies selected for Science Policy Reports will disseminate carefully compiled information, detailed data and in-depth analysis to a wide audience. They will bring out implications of scientific discoveries and technologies in societal, cultural, environmental, political and/or commercial contexts and will enable interested parties to take advantage of new opportunities and exploit on-going development processes to the full.

Hersam Department of Engineering and Materials Science Northwestern University 2220 Campus Drive Evaston, IL 60208 USA The cover picture suggests the integration of various nanotechnology-based solutions in the design of a blended hybrid-wing-body concept for future subsonic commercial aircraft. It represents a radical departure from con- ventional subsonic aircraft design. Mechanical and thermal insulation properties of the nanocomposite will allow for “morphing” airframe and propulsion structures that can change their shape or properties on demand to improve aerodynamic efficiency and respond to damage. Composite materials derived from low density, high strength carbon nanotube-based fibers and durable nanoporous matrixes will enable the production of ultra- lightweight multifunctional airframes and with embedded lightning strike protection. Nanotexturing will create surfaces that are naturally resistant to ice accretion thereby eliminating the need for runway deicing and in-flight ice mitigation. Replacement of heavy copper wiring cables with carbon nanotube wires will enable significant reductions in aircraft weight. Distributed autonomous networks of nanotechnology based state sensors powered by high efficiency energy harvesting (thermoelectric, piezoelectric, or photovoltaics) will enable real-time moni- toring of the overall health and performance of the aircraft leading to reduced emissions and noise and improved safety. The design, developed by NASA and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is for a 354 passenger air- craft that would be available for commercial use in 2030–2035 and would enable a reduction in aircraft fuel consumption by 54% over a Boeing 777 baseline aircraft.

Shelton President, WTEC WTEC Mission WTEC provides assessments of international research and development in selected technologies under awards from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), and other agencies. Formerly part of Loyola College, WTEC is now a separate nonprofit research institute. Michael Reischman, Deputy Assistant Director for Engineering, is NSF Program Director for WTEC. WTEC’s mission is to inform U.S. scientists, engineers, and policymakers of global trends in science and technology. WTEC assessments cover basic research, advanced devel- opment, and applications. Panelists are leading authorities in their field, technically active, and knowledgeable about U.S. and foreign research programs. As part of the assessment process, panels visit and carry out extensive discussions with foreign scientists and engineers abroad. The WTEC staff helps select topics, recruits expert panelists, arranges study visits to foreign laboratories, organizes workshop presenta- tions, and finally, edits and publishes the final reports.

  • 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.

    2016 Product Catalog In October 2006, Professor Mark Hersam’s research group at Northwestern University published a ground breaking paper in Nature Nanotechnology describing a process to sort CNTs by electronic structure. Flooded with sample requests from around the world, NanoIntegris was founded in January 2007 and established in Skokie, Illinois. Raymor, a high-value added materials supplier, acquired NanoIntegris in 2012 to expand its client base and its expertise in nanotube processing. Over the past 10 years, Raymor Industries has developed its plasma processing capability which led to the marketing of two outstanding products: plasma-grown single- wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and plasma-atomized spherical titanium powder. Raymor and NanoIntegris offer a wide variety of premium nanomaterials to companies and academic institutions developing next-generation electronics, energy, and biomedical technologies. We pride ourselves on our thorough, accurate, and honest material characterization. Our nanotube powders, inks for printed electronics, and dispersions are among the purest in the industry. What is more, our strict quality control standards and procedures enable us to guarantee the reliability and consistency of our products.
