NANONANO-PIEZOTRONICS

INTRODUCTION


NanoNano- piezotronics is an emerging field of NanoNanotechnology coined by Professor Zhong Lin Wang. Wang.

In this technique, coupled of piezoelectric and semisemiconducting property of nanowires and nanobelts for designing and fabricating to introduce electronic devices such as nanotransistors and nanodiodes. nanodiodes.

NANOWIRES


Wires of dimensions about 100nm.

PIEZOPIEZO-ELECTRIC EFFECT
 

A piezoelectric substance is one that produces an electric charge when a mechanical stress is applied. A mechanical deformation is produced when an electric field is applied.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE


Under the straining created by an external force, a piezoelectric potential is created in the nanowire as result of elastic deformation, which drives the flow of charge carriers through an external load. A schottky barrier arise between the electrode and nanowire serves as n GATE that controls the flowing directions of charge carrier.

WORKING


The nano-piezotronic mechanism takes advantage of the fundamental property of Nano-wires . Bending the structures creates a charge separation positive on one side and negative on the other.

APPLIED STRESS

The connection between drain and source is through zinc oxide wires. This bending has a linear relation with that of current, as we increase the bending angle current also increase accordingly. This bending act as a GATE potential. .

COMPARISION
CONVENTIONAL DEVICES
electrical potential called the gate voltage is applied to create an electrical field that controls the flow of current between the device's source and its drain.

PIEZO DEVICES
The current flow is controlled by bending it between the source and drain electrodes. The bending produces a "gate" potential and the resulting conductance is directly related to the degree of bending applied.

OUTPUT


Reproduce current waveform of a single deflection.

ADVANTAGES/APPLICATIONS


Piezotronic nanowires can measure Nano-Newton (10-9) Nano(10forces by examining the shape of the structure under pressure. Implantable nanosensors based on the principle could continuously measure blood pressure inside the body and relay the information wirelessly to an external device. The device could be powered by a nanogenerator harvesting energy from blood flow.

Zinc oxide materials are biocompatible, allowing their use in the body without toxic effects.

LIMITATIONS


The only limitation of this research is the current produce by it is very small ,but the research is still going on to produce a large amount of current through it.
