Film bulk acoustic resonators for radio frequency wireless applications are presented. Various simulations and modeling were carried out. The impedance of a five-layered FBAR showed almost the same trend of the wideband characteristics as that of an ideal FBAR, but the characteristics of the higher modes appear to be much more suppressed. In addition, the wideband impedance decreased with increasing device size. The resonance characteristics depend strongly on the physical dimensions.

The effects of the deposition temperature on the growth characteristics of the ZnO films were studied for film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) device applications. All films were deposited using a radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. It was found that the growth characteristics of the ZnO films have a strong dependence on the deposition temperature from 25 to $350^{\circ}C$. The ZnO films deposited below $200^{\circ}C$ exhibited reasonably good columnar grain structures with a highly preferred c-axis orientation while those above 200°C showed very poor columnar grain structures with a mixed-axis orientation. This study seems very useful for the future FBAR device applications.

Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center in diamond has been an emerging versatile tool for quantum sensing applications. Amongst various applications, nano-scale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) using a single or ensemble NV centers has demonstrated promising results, opening possibility of a single molecule NMR for its chemical structural studies or multi-nuclear spin spectroscopy for quantum information science. However, there is a key challenge, which limited the spectral resolution of NMR detection using NV centers; the interrogation duration for NV-NMR detection technique has been limited by the NV sensor spin lifetime (T₁ ~ 3ms), which is orders of magnitude shorter than the coherence times of nuclear spins in bulk liquid samples (T₂ ~ 1s) or intrinsic ¹³C nuclear spins in diamond. Recent studies have shown that quantum memory technique or synchronized readout detection technique can further narrow down the spectral linewidth of NMR signal. In this short review paper, we overview basic concepts of nanoscale NMR using NV centers, and introduce further developments in high spectral resolution NV NMR studies.

There are fast growing demands for new dielectric materials for passive capacitors of RF-ICs and other wireless applications. One of the bulk microwave dielectric materials which have superior properties is $ZrTiO_4$ due to its large dielectric constant and high quality factor. Therefore, $ZrTiO_4$ is worth studying as a form of thin film to be applied for passive capacitors of integrated circuits. In this study, we fabricated metal-insulator-metal type capacitors with $ZrTiO_4$ dielectric thin film, and evaluated their capacitor properties.

A substrate network model characterizing substrate effect of submicron MOS transistors for RF operation and its parameter extraction with physically meaningful values are presented. The proposed substrate network model includes a single resistance and inductance originated from ring-type substrate contacts around active devices. Model parameters are extracted from S-parameter data measured from common-bulk configured MOS transistors with floating gate and use where needed with out any optimization. The proposed modeling technique has been applied to various-sized MOS transistors. Excellent agreement the measurement data and the simulation results using extracted substrate network model up to 30GHz.

Platinum is a transition metal that is very resistant to corrosion. It is used as catalyst for converting methyl alcohol to formaldehyde, as catalytic converter in cars, for hydrocracking of heavy oils, in Fuel Cell devices etc. Moreover, Platinum compounds are important ingredient for cancer chemotherapy drugs. The nano forms of Platinum due to its unique physico-chemical properties that are not found in its bulk counterpart, has been found to be of great importance in electronics, optoelectronics, enzyme immobilization etc. The stability of Platinum nanoparticles has supported its use for the development of efficient and durable proton exchange membrane Fuel Cells. The present review concentrates on the use of Platinum conjugated with various metal or compounds, to fabricate nanocomposites, to enhance the efficiency of Platinum nanoparticles. The recent advances in the synthesis methods of different Platinum-based nanocomposites and their applications in Fuel Cell, sensors, bioimaging, light emitting diode, dye sensitized solar cell, hydrogen generation and in biosystems has also been discussed.

Axial bindings of diatomic molecules to metalloporphyrins involve in the dynamic processes of biological functions such as respiration, neurotransmission, and photosynthesis. The binding reactions are also useful in sensor applications and in control of molecular spins in metalloporphyrins for spintronic applications. Here, we present the binding structures of diatomic molecules to surface- supported Co-porphyrins studied using scanning tunneling microscopy. Upon gasexposure, three-lobed structures of Co-porphyrins transformed to bright ring shapes on Au(111), whereas H2-porphyrins of dark rings remained intact. The bright rings are explained by the structures of reaction complexes where a diatomic ligand, tilted away from the axis normal to the porphyrin plane, is under precession. Our results are consistent with previous bulk experiments using X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Nanostructured materials can be engineered by the controlled assembly of several suitable nano-objects as the building blocks. While, materials properties are determined by their atomic and molecular constituents and structure, their functionalities emerge when the microstructure of these early ensembles is in the nanometer regime. The properties and functionalities of these ensembles may be different as their size grows from the nano-regime to the micron regime and bulk structures. Nanotechnology, offers a unique possibility to manipulate the properties through the fabrication of materials using the nano-objects as building blocks. Nanotechnology is therefore considered an enabling technology by which existing materials, virtually all man-made materials, can acquire novel properties and functionalities making them suitable for numerous novel applications varying from structural and functional to advanced biomedical in-vivo and in-vitro applications.
