Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Tunable metasurfaces are a promising candidate for the next generation of spatial light modulators which will require higher refresh rates, smaller pixel sizes, and compact form factors. Phase-change memory materials present a unique platform for nonvolatile reconfigurable metasurfaces which could undergo phase transitions at MHz frequencies if actuated electrically, more than three orders of magnitude...
It is revealed by recent experimental and theoretical nanoindentation studies that the low concentration of monovacancy produces an abnormal noticeable stiffening effect on graphene sheets, which depending on the defect type. As for graphene-like quasi-two dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, the single-layer molybdenum disulfide (SLMoS2) has intrinsic structural defects that are distinct to graphene....
We demonstrate ternary CMOS (Γ-CMOS)-based standard ternary inverter (STI) for compact and power-scalable multi-valued logic (MVL) circuits. The distinguished mechanism of FG-independent junction band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) for ternary logic has been successfully obtained by CMOS process with a few pA/μm level which enables STI operation with ultra-low static power consumption of 7.7 pW/μm. Through...
We report a highly-sensitive plasmonic nano-ring transistor for monolithic terahertz (THz) active antenna. By designing an ultimate asymmetric transistor on a metal-gate structure, more enhanced (180 times) channel charge asymmetry has been obtained in comparison with a bar-type asymmetric transistor of our previous work. In addition, by exploiting ring-type transistor itself as a monolithic circular...
This paper presented a rotational electromagnetic energy harvester to scavenge the human kinetic energy and convert into electrical energy. The harvester simply introduced a cylindrical stator and disk-shaped rotor, which are made of NdFeB. Without complicated movement mechanism, the stator and rotor, of a higher pair have theoretical line contact by magnetic attractive force. Therefore, the rotor...
We investigate heat conduction across the interface of a monolayer semiconductor and its supporting substrate using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. For the first time, we show that for the interface between MoS2 and SiO2, thermal boundary conductance (TBC) is 15.5 ± 1.5 MWK−1m−2. The TBC is found to increase proportionally with the strength of the van der Waals interactions and is largely independent...
Motivated by the elegant structure of the cluster states, we design an ingenious quantum blind dual-signature scheme, which is implemented by the way of measurement on the cluster sates and can solve some secure information problems between the consumers, merchants, and banks in electronic transaction. In this paper, the initial phase, the signing phase and the verification phase are included. In...
Quantum dialogue allows both communication parties to execute secure direct communication simultaneously and bidirectionally. In recent years, due to the possible applications of quantum communication technologies in military, finance, medicine and other fields, quantum dialogue has been widely concerned. In the year of 2017, NR Zhou et al designed a new quantum dialogue protocol by using the continuous-variable...
Based on the characteristics of three-particle GHZ state, we propose a novel quantum secure direct communication scheme(QSDC). In the process of security check, both sides of communication detect single particle with the entanglement properties between the particles. The number of possible quantum states has greatly increased and there are more errors when the check particles are attacked. The error...
Local distinguishability of quantum states is a basic problem in quantum information theory. For an arbitrary group of entangled states in d ⊗ d bipartite system, Singal presented a subspace related to these states, and then he determined that the group of states can be distinguished by one-way local operations and classical communication(1-LOCC) if this subspace contains a maximally Abelian subspace...
In a recent paper [2], we introduced a framework for performing nanomechanical communication, where nanomechanical systems can communicate using mechanical movements to encode and transfer information between a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX). The framework considered in [2] was mainly focused on the deterministic model, which is the noise-free case. It was shown that the encoding of movements...
A novel communication scheme called touchable communication (TouchCom) in the nanoscale and molecular communication area has been recently proposed. It is focused on the controllable and trackable properties of message carriers. A potential therapeutic application of TouchCom is the targeted delivery of drugs which utilizes physically transient nanobots as vehicles to deliver drug particles. Meanwhile,...
In this paper, we investigate the communication channel capacity among hippocampal pyramidal neurons. To this aim, we study the processes included in this communication and model them with realistic communication system components based on the existing reports in the physiology literature. We consider the communication between two neurons and reveal the effects of the existence of multiple terminals...
Our goal is to design and ultimately prototype a communication device that can circulate inside the human body and communicate with a wearable or handheld device such as a cell phone. Despite tremendous efforts in miniaturized medical implants, we are still far from designing micro-devices supporting a communication range of even few centimeters. Main reason is the limitations dictated by the size...
