摘要:
The present invention provides devices and methods for making nano structures such a nanoheater In one embodiment, the nanoheater element comprises a first reactive member and interlayer disposed in communication with at least a portion thereof. Preferably, contact between the first and second reactive members of the nanoheater element can yield at least one exothermic reaction. A nanoheater device of the invention can optionally comprise a substrate on which the first reactive member is positioned in combination with other components. The invention also provides a nanoheater system comprising a plurality of nanoheater elements. Exemplary nanoheater elements and systems can be used to perform a method of the invention in which heat is produced. Methods includes processes for fabricating nanostructures such as layered devices, nanorods and nanowires.
摘要:
A method and article of manufacture, implementing the method, allocates space for a dataset. The dataset has an initial area and zero or more additional allocated areas to provide space for storing the dataset. The size of a new additional area is determined. The new additional area is associated with a new area number, and the size of the new additional area is based on the new area number. Additional space for the dataset is allocated based on the size of the new additional area.
摘要:
Increasing the output signal from CPP GMR devices by increasing the read current has not previously been considered an option because it would make the device run too hot. This problem has been overcome by using, for the upper and lower leads, materials that differ significantly in their thermoelectric powers. Thus, when DC is passed through the device, from − to + TEP leads, hot and cold junctions are formed and heat is transferred from the micro-device into the leads, resulting in a net local cooling of the device which enables it to operate at higher power. For a GMR device, this translates to a larger output voltage, making it easier, more sensitive, and more reliable to use.
