“…The phenomenon could be explained as the Coulomb blockade effect of ZIF-8@GO. The ZIF-8@GO nanoparticles could cause a high charging energy for the tunneling electrons and inhibit the charge transfer through the whole system from migrating directionally, reducing the conduction loss which represents the flow of charge through the dielectric materials [ 55 , 56 ].…”

Degradable, flame retardant, and flexible nanocomposite films with low dielectric constant were prepared with poly (lactic acid) (PLA), nano ZIF-8@GO, and degradable flame-retardant resorcinol di(phenyl phosphate) (RDP). The SEM results of the fractured surfaces indicated that ZIF-8@GO and RDP were dispersed uniformly in the PLA matrix. The prepared films had good mechanical properties and the tensile strength of the film with 1.5 wt% of ZIF-8@GO was increased to 48.2 MPa, compared with 38.5 MPa of pure PLA. Meanwhile, the nanocomposite films were flexible due to the toughing effect of RDP. Moreover, above 27.0% of limited oxygen index (LOI) and a VTM-0 rating were achieved for the nanocomposite films. The effects of nano ZIF-8@GO hybrids and RDP on the dielectric properties were investigated, and the results showed that ZIF-8@GO and RDP were beneficial in reducing the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the nanocomposites.

“…While tightly-confined single-electron systems based on NWs have been extensively demonstrated [19][20][21], their tunability has so far been limited and it has not been possible to indefinitely scale their dimensions and operating temperature because NWs with diameters below ≈ 20 nm quickly become insulating due to carrier depleted induced by quantum confinement. Various approaches to high-temperature Coulomb blockade, based for instance on ultranarrow etched Si wires [22,23], have been demonstrated in the past. The InAs/InP NW technology, however, still offers an unmatched level of control and flexibility for what concerns the dot properties as well as its electronic filling.Here we demonstrate that an electrical dipole moment can be used to easily manipulate the orbitals of an InAs/InP quantum dot and to dramatically modify its energy spectrum.…”

Manipulation of Electron Orbitals in Hard-Wall InAs/InP Nanowire Quantum Dots

We present a novel technique for the manipulation of the energy spectrum of hard-wall InAs/InP nanowire quantum dots. By using two local gate electrodes, we induce a strong transverse electric field in the dot and demonstrate the controlled modification of its electronic orbitals. Our approach allows us to dramatically enhance the single-particle energy spacing between the first two quantum levels in the dot and thus to increment the working temperature of our InAs/InP single-electron transistors. Our devices display a very robust modulation of the conductance even at liquid nitrogen temperature, while allowing an ultimate control of the electron filling down to the last free carrier. Potential further applications of the technique to time-resolved spin manipulation are also discussed.

“…Progress in the synthesis of size-controlled nanomaterials has enabled a better understanding of the size-dependent electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of individual nanostructures of semiconductors, − metals, , and other materials. , Beyond size control in the preparation of nanomaterials, the greater challenge is to control the assembly of individual nanoparticles (or nanowires, etc.) into hierarchically structured architectures so that their position in a complex matrix is determined.…”
