Red Blood Cells (RBCs) when infected by Malaria Parasites have altogether a different set of structural, biochemical and biophysical properties. These changes have drastic effects on the flow of these oxygen carrying cells in our body. The change in the biophysical parameters like the stiffness of the membrane is obtained experimentally and is available in the literature. The motion of the RBCs has been observed under the infected conditions. The RBCs becoming spherocytic, develops finger-like structures on its membrane which are observed but could not be analyzed as measurement at such small scale is extremely difficult. Hence, a computational model to replicate such motion is very essential for knowing the biophysical phenomena at such small scale. To overcome this limitation, a model has been developed for RBCs in the present study to simulate their flow under different conditions with or without infection computationally. This model successfully predicts the phenomena occurring in the flow of the RBCs...

In this paper, an analytical model has been developed for gate tunneling current in nano scale MOSFET with high-k dielectric stack as gate insulator. A computationally efficient model for gate tunneling current through different high-k gate stack structure is presented. The proposed model has been successfully used for different gate stack dielectric simply by adjusting two fitting parameters. The model predictions are compared with the two-dimensional Santaurus device simulation. Good agreement between the model predictions and device simulation results has been obtained. The effects of interfacial oxide thickness, type of gate stack and reverse gate stack on the gate tunneling current have also been studied as a function of gate voltages for a given equivalent oxide thickness (EOT) of 1.0 nm. It was also shown that smaller inter oxide layer thickness reduces gate leakages current with the introduction of high-k gate stack structure in place of individual high-k dielectric or SiO2.

Heat transfer in nanostructures differ significantly from that in the bulk materials since the characteristic length scales associated with heat carriers, i.e., the mean free path and the wavelength, are comparable to the characteristic length of the nanostructures. Nanostructure materials hold the promise of novel phenomena, properties, and functions in the areas of thermoelectric energy conversion and micro/nano electronic devices. One of the major challenges in micro/nano electronic devices is to study the ‘hot spot’ generation by accurately modeling the carrier-optical phonon-acoustic phonon interactions. Thermoelectric properties are among the properties that may drastically change at nanoscale. During the last decade, advances have been made in increasing the efficiency of thermoelectric energy conversion using nanostructures. In this paper, the non-equilibrium interaction between carriers and phonons in semiconductor thin films is modeled using the Boltzmann transport model (BTM) for studying the t...

An attractive feature of the application of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation to the liquid-vapor interface in two-phase flow is that the method, well suited for the small length-scale region which may be size-affected, can be applied in multi-scale modeling together with continuum approach for the rest of the domain. Various studies have been reported in literature where the method has been utilized to analyze the interfacial regions in two-phase flow systems. In this article, the major investigations involving Molecular Dynamics analysis applied to interfacial phenomena in two phase flow and heat transfer systems are reviewed, with a focus on the thermodynamic, fluid dynamic and structural properties of the liquid-vapor interface. Discussions on the nature and premises of the reported work and a compilation of the salient features and major results are presented.

Heat Pipe is a thermodynamic device which transports heat from one location to another with a very small temperature drop. Entropy generation can be considered as a significant parameter on heat pipe performance. Major reasons for entropy generation in a heat pipe system are temperature difference between cold and hot reservoirs, frictional losses in the working fluid flows and vapor temperature/pressure drop along heat pipe. The objective of the present work is to estimate the entropy generation in a flat heat pipe. A computational model is developed for the analysis of the transient operation of a flat heat pipe. The analysis involves the solution of two dimensional continuity, momentum and energy equations in the vapor core with the transport equations for a porous medium in the wick. The entropy generation depends on both temperature and velocity variations of vapor and liquid. Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) scheme is used to convert the partial differential equations into finite difference equa...

Rheological characteristics of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) nanofluids (NFs) were found to exhibit an unexpected behavior. Two base-fluids viz, water and ethylene glycols (EG) with particles of average diameter of 11, 45 and 150 nm were examined. An anomalous reduction in viscosity compared to that of the base fluid was seen for EG based NFs. However, viscosity reduction was absent in water based NFs. The inter-related effects of particle size, concentration and mode of dispersion (mono or poly-dispersed) were investigated. Particle migration under shear is attributed to the reduction of viscosity. The increase in bulk viscosity with particle size reduction is attributed to the surface forces acting between the particles and the medium in a suspension and the increase of effective volume with size.

Several approaches for micromachined neural implants have been established worldwide to deliver neuroscientific tools to investigate the function of the brain. Bioelectrical signals of single cells as well as of synaptic background activity have been recorded via multichannel electrode systems and the effect of electrical stimulation has been used to treat diseases or to partially restore sensory functions. However, the brain does not work only electrically but chemical and electrical signals strongly interact. Therefore, chemical analysis of the metabolism of the brain and neurotransmitters is of high interest as well as delivery of chemical substances to modify signal transduction and generation in the brain. This article presents existing micromachining approaches of electrical neural probes for intracortical recording and microfluidic channels, pumps and valves to realize drug delivery and probe sampling. Application scenarios will be discussed with respect to the opportunities and limitations of the ...

The understanding of charge transport through metal-organic and/or organic-semiconductor interfaces plays a significant role in the further development and improvement of molecular electronics. This paper presents a theoretical investigation of hot electron transport through organic films grown on GaAs. Ballistic electron transport through Au/TiOPc/GaAs and Au/HBC/GaAs is described by means of the Bell-Kaiser model. Good agreement between experimental results and the prediction of the heterostructure extension of the Bell-Kaiser model is reported showing that the Bell-Kaiser model extension can be used to describe the hot electron transport through metal-organic-semiconductor nanostructures.

Dynamical characteristics of flexible polymer molecules in nanoscopic confinements are primarily dictated by the relative values of the confinement length scales with respect to the polymer persistence length. Depending on whether the channel height is larger [1] or smaller [2] than the polymer persistence length, altogether different polymer dynamics is ensued, as illustrated in the pioneering theoretical studies by de Gennes [1] and Odijk [2]. Rapid advances of nanofabrication and polymer handling, over the last few years, have been able to provide experimental validation to these studies and at the same time have been able to unravel different intriguing physical issues unique to nanoconfinement induced dynamics of polymer molecules. These studies have led to a plethora of new applications ranging from the estimation of structural and mechanical properties of polymer to fabrication of novel, portable diagnostic tool kits.

Electrical control of liquid droplet motion and wettability has wide-ranging applications in the field of MEMS, lab-on-a-chip devices and surface engineering, in view of the resulting enhanced flow control opportunities, low power consumption and the absence of mechanical moving parts. This article summarizes recent progress towards understanding of the fundamentals underlying electrical actuation of droplets on smooth and superhydrophobic surfaces. Electrical actuation of liquid droplets with widely differing electrical properties on smooth surfaces is first discussed. Electromechanical considerations are employed to study the actuation force on a generic liquid droplet across the entire spectrum of electrical actuation regimes. The challenges in understanding the fluid flow and dissipation mechanisms associated with a discrete moving droplet are discussed. The role of electrical voltages, interfacial energies and surface morphology in determining droplet states (nonwetting Cassie state and wetting Wenze...
