Current non-imaging techniques like ultrasonography have been proposed for thyroid diagnosis with limitations on ability to detect low-temperature distribution around the hot spot at the starting stage of the thyroid hyperthyroidism. The energy distribution around hotspot is minimal at the beginning stage. This detection may require ultra-high sensitive materials to the IR energy. A computer modeling using COMSOL software shows the thermal energy simulation of a thyroid gland with single or multiple active nodules. Data collection of the energy levels and condition of thyroid in the human body support the work investigated in this study. The study conducted here has shown as low as 0.1 - 5 mW IR power can be detected based on the Graphene device sensitivity. The paper details the simulation and approach for this non-invasive diagnosis.展开更多

The models are based on non-equilibrium Green＇s functions （NEGF） solved self-consistently with 3D-Poisson＇s equations. For the first time, hetero gate dielectric and single LDD TFETs （SL-HTFETs） are proposed and investigated. Simulation results show SL-HTFETs can effectively decrease leakage current, sub-threshold swing, and increase on-off current ratio compared to conventional TFETs and Si-based devices; the SL-HTFETs from the 3p ＋ 1 family have better switching characteristics than those from the 3p family due to smaller effective masses of the former. In addition, comparison of scaled performances between SL-HTFETs and conventional TFETs show that SL-HTFETs have better scaling properties than the conventional TFETs, and thus could be promising devices for logic and ultra-low power applications.展开更多
