The paper predicts a giant thermoelectric coefficient in nanostructure consisting of metallic electrodes periodically patterned over graphene, which is deposited on silicon dioxide substrate. Seebeck this device attains 30mV∕K, value being among the largest reported ever. calculations are based transfer matrix approach that takes particular form for graphene-based devices. results important future nanogenerators with applications area sensors, energy harvesting, and scavenging.
We have investigated several configurations of antennas based on graphene. show that patterned metallic dipole or arrays deposited graphene highly benefit from the reversible high-resistivity-to-low-resistivity transition in graphene, tuned by a gate voltage. The radiation pattern and efficiency such are changed via voltage applied

Abstract A single field-effect transistor (FET) based on nitrogen doped-nickel oxide (NiON) semiconductor ferroelectric shows an ultralow voltage switch at a gate value of just 1 μV and subthreshold swing (SS) 55 mV/decade. The same FET acts as capacitive non-volatile memory between the drain ground. All these features are retrieved in NiON grown thin layer aluminum (Al2O3), which was deposited doped silicon (Si) wafer. After one year, we values our devices without any thermal annealing or...

We present a graphene-based ballistic diode, which is able to rectify an incident signal due oblique gate positioned between the two terminals of device. The operating point diode can be controlled by applied voltage, whereas current-voltage dependence device changed varying inclination angle gate. In particular, ideality factor take values higher or lower than 1 modifying this angle. rectifying properties graphene are thus tunable, in deep contrast with semiconductor-based diodes.
