A divacancy (DV) is one of the most abundant and most important defects in irradiated graphene, which modifies electronic and chemical properties of graphene. In this paper, we present ab initio calculations to study the dynamics and stability of DVs in graphene. Divacancies in graphene have various reconstructed structures, such as triple pentagon-triple heptagon (555-777) and pentagon-octagon-pentagon (5-8-5) patterns. A direct observation of the structural transformations between these reconstructions was recorded in transmission electron microscope images reported by Girit et al. in science 323, 1705 (2009). We clarify the atomic structures of DVs observed in the experiment and investigate the atomic processes and energetics for the observed dynamical motions in great detail. It is found that a series of Stone–Wales-type transformations are responsible for the migration and structural transformations of DVs and that a pentagon-heptagon-heptagon-pentagon (5-7-7-5) defect appearing as an intermediate structure during the dynamical process plays an important role in the transformations of DVs.

Cryogel based encapsulation was attempted to entrap oil phase (containing curcumin) with a ternary system of colloidal chitosan, κ-carrageenan, and carboxy methylcellulose sodium salt (NaCMC). The cryotropic gel formation was investigated by varying the cooling rate during freezing and type of polymer suspension. The microstructure of the resulting curcumin cryogels revealed oil droplets entrapped in the cryogel matrix. The encapsulation yield for two types of suspension was found to vary from 83.89 to 99.37%. Controlled release of the curcumin in an aqueous system could be maintained for 4 days, and the released amount of curcumin was found to vary from 41.1-59.9%. The encapsulation yield as well as the released pattern and amount of curcumin were influenced by the cooling protocol used during freezing. The release patterns were found to be sensitive to the ambient aqueous pH and, interestingly, either a burst release or a first order release was achievable simply by changing the freezing condition. These results suggested that freezing could modify the gel formation of the present cryogel, and the resulting structural modification evidently controlled the oil encapsulation manner. The present ternary system (chitosan, κ- carrageenan, and NaCMC) is an interesting matrix for designing controlled release system in a food system.

A continuous surface potential versus voltage equation is proposed and then its solution is further discussed for a long channel intrinsic surrounding-gate(SRG) MOSFET from the accumulation to strong inversion *** original equation is derived from the exact solution of a simplified Poisson equation and then the empirical correction is performed from the mathematical condition required by the continuity of the solution,which results in a continuous surface potential versus voltage equation,allowing the surface potential and the related derivatives to be described by an analytic solution from the accumulation to strong inversion region and from linear to the saturation region accurately and *** these results,the dependences of surface potential and centric potential characteristics on device geometry are analyzed and the results are also verified with the 3-D numerical simulation from the aspect of accuracy and continuity tests.

This paper studies an oxide/silicon core/shell nanowire MOSFET (OS-CSNM). Through three-dimensional device simulations, we have demonstrated that the OS-CSNM has a lower leakage current and higher Ion/Ioff ratio after intro- ducing the oxide core into a traditional nanowire MOSFET (TNM). The oxide/silicon OS-CSNM structure suppresses threshold voltage roll-off, drain induced barrier lowering and subthreshold swing degradation. Smaller intrinsic device delay is also observed in OS-CSNM in comparison with that of TNM.

The reconstruction and evaporation at graphene nanoribbon (GNR) edges are investigated by tight-binding molecular-dynamics simulations and ab initio calculations. It is observed that reconstruction through the formation of pentagon-heptagon pairs can take place quickly along the zigzag edge and it is energetically favorable. At very high temperatures, the armchair edge is found to change into a zigzag edge structure, which further accelerates the evaporation of carbon atoms and leads to the formation of carbon linear chains. The evaporation of carbon atoms from both the zigzag and armchair edges is preceded by the formation of heptagon rings, which serve as a gateway for carbon atoms to escape. In the simulation for a GNR armchair-zigzag-armchair junction, carbon atoms are evaporated row by row from the outermost row of the zigzag edge while the armchair edge remains nearly intact. These results can be applied to nanoelectronic devices fabrication through the temperature-controlled edge structure of GNR.
