Graphene as Transistors in the field of Smart Materials…..


Graphene is the best electrical conductor and also good at conducting electricity and if it is applied to other interesting combinations of 2D materials, the technique we used may lead to new emergent phenomena, such as magnetism, superconductivity. The unusual electronic properties of graphene are a two-dimensional (2D) material that is comprised of hexagonal-bonded carbon atoms. Graphene is the strongest, thinnest material known to exist. It also a superior conductor of electricity and has the unique atomic arrangement of the carbon atoms in graphene. But the quality of graphene helps in turning off the transmission of electrons through the material without altering or any changes.

The research in graphene to create such a band gap has degraded the intrinsically good properties of graphene, rendering it much less useful. And when graphene is compressed between layers of Boron Nitride (BN), an atomically-thin electrical insulator, and the two materials are rotationally aligned, the BN has been shown to modify the electronic structure of the graphene, creating a band gap that allows the material to behave as a semiconductor both as an electrical conductor and also as an insulator.


The band gap created by this type of layering alone, but it is not large enough to be useful in the operation of electrical transistor devices. By compressing the layers of the BN-graphene structure, researchers found that applying pressure substantially increased the size of the band gap and more effectively helps in blocking the flow of electricity through the graphene. Transistors are ubiquitous in our modern electronic devices and use graphene as a transistor it would have widespread applications.

If you have the latest updates and innovations in the field of Material Science and Nanotechnology join us at our upcoming annual congress. It’s a great opportunity to network with the world’s leading Scientists Chemistry Research Professors. The theme of the conference is “Using Novel Materials Exploring Different Crystallography Techniques”. Keynote sessions by the world’s prominent professionals and oral presentations and poster sessions on a wide range of Material Science and Nanotechnology research.

Role of Nanotechnology and applications in today’s Material World!!!!


Nanotechnology devices perform both basic and applied research in areas that have potential impact on electronics technology for the Navy, Marine Corps, and other components of the Department of Defence. Areas of research include MBE growth and characterization of antimonide-based compound semiconductors for low-power high-electron mobility transistors, p-channel field-effect transistors, heterojunction bipolar transistors, hetero-barrier varactors, and mm-wave diodes; carbon nanotubes for chemical detection; graphene for electronics; surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy from nanowires for chemical sensing; UHV surface science; surface infrared spectroscopy; quantum-chemical modelling of chemical warfare agents and simulants; and gold Nano cluster chemiresistor sensors.

Graphene is a relatively new carbon-based material with high potential for new fundamental science and technological applications. Graphene is a single sheet of graphite, which is either exfoliated from bulk graphite onto a substrate or "grown" by desorbing Si at high temperature from a SiC substrate.


Growth and Surface Properties of Semiconductor and Metal Oxide Nano-wires:
One-dimensional structures, such as carbon nano tubes and semiconductor nano wires, are currently of great interest due to their unique physical properties and potential applications, including Nano scale devices and sensors. We have been investigating a number of nano wire systems, from the perspective of growth mechanism, surface properties, as well as potential applications, especially to sensing.

Infrared spectroscopy is being used to study the vibration spectra of adsorbed species in vacuum, non-vacuum and liquid environments. The focus is on the study of surface reactions and on identifying both strongly-adsorbed stable species and also reaction intermediates and weakly-adsorbed moieties that are present only under steady-state conditions. The materials of interest are primarily semiconductors and dielectric materials in bulk, thin-film or Nano-structure form. Experiments in vacuum or in the presence of gas-phase reagents use primarily reflection-absorption spectroscopy.

Ultra-High-Vacuum Surface Science:
Recent effort in the area of UHV surface science has focused on the wide-band gap semiconductors GaN and SiC and insulators ß-Si3N4 and ß-Ga2O3. The interest is in the physical and electronic structure of the surfaces, chemisorption phenomena, metal contact formation and functionalization with organic species.

Come & Join us to meet the World's Great Scientists, Researchers professionals, Professors, Young Research Forum (YRF), Students @Crystallography Congress 2018.

Novel Materials- Uses in Material Science!!!


The development of Novel Materials with unique properties is critical to advances in industry, medicine, energy systems, microelectronics, aeronautics and many other fields. Our researchers are pursuing a broad range of interdisciplinary projects with tremendous potential for new products and applications. Novel materials research focuses on improving the performance of materials such as plastics, metals and ceramics by manipulating their structures to exhibit new properties for a wide range of products and applications.


This focus issue on 'novel materials discovery' aims to cover the field of predictive tools for studying inorganic and organic materials as well as hybrid materials and Crystals. The discussion of methods and concepts is complemented by the presentation of results on materials that have not been synthesized so far. The field also needs approaches that enable the identification of hitherto unknown trends helping to recognize, differentiate, and understand materials, their properties and their functions. In this context, searching and analyzing existing and presently evolving data bases of materials properties and functions is an equally important crucial task. Once a novel materials target has been identified, developing a synthesis route for it is often a time consuming process, and we invite insights into rational materials synthesis and the synthesis of non-equilibrium phases.
A suite of materials fabrication facilities at Boise State is available for use by industry and business for measurement of magnetic materials, electrochemical and environmental testing, surface analysis, Nano-micro indentation testing, mechanical/environmental testing, electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy.

The issue contains research from materials science, physics, chemistry and bio-physics/chemistry, as well as applied mathematics, statistics and computer science. Indeed, to bring these communities together is a key to the success of any novel materials discovery project.

Join Crystallography Congress 2018 to be held during November19-20, 2018 in Bucharest, Romania. This will be the best opportunity to outreach the large gathering of participants from all around the world and get name recognition at this two-day event. World-eminent speakers, most recent researches, latest techniques and the advanced technologies in crystallography using novel materials are the principal features of this conference.
