The potential of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as a mass sensor is examined using continuum mechanics based approach. The carbon nanotube resonators are assumed to be either in cantilevered or in bridged configurations, Simple analytical formulas are developed for CNT-based nanoresonators with attached mass. A closed-form expression has been derived to detect the mass of biological objects from the frequency-shift. A simple linear approximation of the nonlinear sensor equation has been investigated. The validity and the accuracy of these formulas are examined for a wide range of cases. The results indicate that the new sensor equations can be used for CNT-based biosensors with reasonable accuracy. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Tianyan Jiang, Jie Fang, Wentao Zhang, Maoqiang Bi, Xi Chen, Junsheng Chen

Summary: This paper investigates the adsorption and sensing properties of transition metal-doped WSSe gas-sensitive devices towards H2, CO, and CO2 gases related to thermal runaway in Li-ion batteries using density functional theory. The results show that Ti, Mn, and Mo dopants preferentially bind to the S-surface of the WSSe monolayer, and all three monolayers exhibit significantly improved sensing characteristics, with chemisorption towards CO. Band structure analysis suggests that the Ti-WSSe monolayer has the potential to be used as a resistive CO detection sensor. Recovery time calculations indicate the reuse capabilities of the gas-sensitive devices. Mn-WSSe monolayer shows potential for H2 detection, while Mo-WSSe monolayer is more suitable for CO2 detection. This work lays the foundation for potential gas-sensitive applications of WSSe monolayer in thermal runaway scenarios, advancing research in gas sensing domains.

Effects of electric and magnetic fields on Goos-Hänchen shifts in semi-Dirac systems

Lijun Cheng, Fang Cheng

Summary: This paper investigates the effects of electric and magnetic fields on the Goos-Hanchen (GH) shift in a semi-Dirac system. The results show that the magnitude and direction of the GH shift depend on various factors such as incidence angle, electric barrier height and width, and magnetic field. It is observed that there is a saltus step in GH shifts at the critical magnetic field, which decreases with increased potential barrier thickness. Additionally, the GH shift can be significantly enhanced by applying an electric field in the III region. These findings are important for the development of semi-Dirac based electronic devices.

Phonon scattering channel and electrical transport of graphene induced by the anharmonic phonon renormalization

Donglin Guo, Zhengmeng Xu, Chunhong Li, Kejian Li, Bin Shao, Xianfu Luo, Jianchun Sun, Yilong Ma

Summary: Using full electron-phonon interactions and the Boltzmann transport equation, this study investigates the phonon scattering channel and electrical properties of graphene under anharmonic phonon renormalization (APRN). The results show that the APRN reduces the phonon frequency and three-phonon phase space with increasing temperature, affecting the acoustic branch more than the optical branch. The thermal conductivity of graphene decreases after considering three- and four-phonon scattering, and the primary scattering channels are identified. Furthermore, the APRN increases the strength of electron-phonon coupling and leads to an increase in n-type electric resistance at room temperature.
