Fuel Cells
Fuel cells consist of an electrolyte
material sandwiched between
two electrodes
The input fuel passes over the anode
(and oxygen over the cathode)
where it catalytically splits into
ions and electrons.
The electrons go through an external
circuit to create electricity.
The ions move through the
electrolyte toward the oppositely
charged electrode where they
combine to create by-products,
primarily water and CO2.

magnetic nanospheres

With no magnetic field, the nanoparticles float about in a liquid.

When a magnetic field is applied, the particles line up following the field
lines, and form rigid columns creating a regular array of obstacles.

This creates a sieve which separates biological molecules based on size.

Nanocomposites



Nanomaterials often have different properties than their bulk-scale counterparts
- nanocrystalline copper is five times harder than ordinary copper

Nanocomposites are materials where the constituents are mixed on a nanometer scale

- A nanoscale dispersion of sheet-like inorganic silicate particles in a polymer matrix is superior to
either constituent in such properties as optical clarity, strength, stiffness, thermal stability, reduced
permeability, and flame retardancy.

Abalone shell has alternating layers of calcium carbonate and a rubbery biopolymer. It is twice as hard
and a thousand times tougher than its components.

Self Assembly


The Holy Grail of Electronics

The basic idea of self-assembly is to use natural forces to form a device
feature, although its position may be determined by coarser lithography.
Thus, the less-expensive equipment associated with a previous
technology generation may be used, along with self-assembly
techniques, to fabricate circuits for the next generation of devices.

Alternatively, self-assembly can be used to form structures for molecular
electronics. A single molecular monolayer (or a controlled number of
monolayers) can be routinely formed on a substrate by techniques such
as Langmuir-Blodgett deposition.
33

Self Assembly


How?
A Langmuir-Blodgett film is a set of monolayers, or layers of
organic material one molecule thick, deposited on a solid
substrate. It can consist of a single layer or many, up to a
depth of several visible-light wavelengths.

As devices become smaller, quantum effects tend
to become more important
A single-electron transistor

According to classical physics, there is no way
that electrons can get from the 'source' to
the 'drain', because of the two barrier walls
either side of the 'island'.

However, the structure is so small that
quantum effects occur, and one electron at a
time can tunnel through the barriers.

Quantum physics states that when we measure the
spin
1/2
particles state we will determine that it is in
the
+1/2
state, or the
-1/2
spin state. In this manner
our qubit is not different from a classical bit, for it can
be measured to be in the
+1/2
, or 1 state, or the
-1/2

or 0 state.

so you can't decide if a one-atom cat is

Few atoms (2-20): process becomes

All batteries consist of two
electrodes, an anode and a
cathode, and an electrolyte
solution.

The tendency for Zn to loose
electron is stronger than that for
copper. When the two cells are
connected by a salt bridge and
an electric conductor form a
closed circuit for electrons and
ions to flow, copper ions actually
gains electron to become copper
metal.

Capacitors
Two electric plates are separated by an insulating
material (plastic, glass, air...)

These two plates are connected to two leads that
allow the current to flow in and out of the capacitor.

As the current flows, electrons build up on one plate.
At the same time, electrons flow out of the other
plate.

Eventually, the capacitor is completely "charged up"
and no more current will flow. There is a positive
charge on one plate and a negative charge on the
other plate.

Energy can be released if the leads are shorted

Hydrogen

Carbon nanotubes are capable of storing anywhere from
4.2% - to 65% of their own weight in hydrogen

Gas-on-Solid Adsorption

Adsorption of hydrogen molecules on activated carbon
has been extensively studied.

The amount of hydrogen stored can approach the
storage density of liquid hydrogen at low temperatures
(i.e., liquid nitrogen).

Carbon-based hydrogen storage materials that can store
significant amounts of hydrogen at room temperature
are under investigation.

Superconductors
Current is carried by pairs of electrons - Cooper
pairs
The binding energy of the pair opens a gap in
the energy spectrum at E
f
(the Fermi energy -
the highest occupied level in a solid), which
separates the pair states from the "normal" single
electron states.
The size of a Cooper pair is given by the
coherence length which is typically 1000.
The space occupied by one pair contains many
other pairs. There is interdependence of the
occupancy of the pair states.
At low temperatures there is insufficient thermal
energy to scatter the pairs, thus they carry
current unimpeded.
