electronic applications‚ such as bulk in size‚ slow operating speed etc. Carbon‚ Silicon and Germanium are belonging to the same group in the periodic table. They have four valance electrons in their outer shell. Pure Silicon and Germanium are semiconductors in normal temperature. So in the earlier days they are used widely for the manufacturing of electronic components. But later it is found that Germanium has many disadvantages compared to silicon‚ such as large reverse current‚ less stability towards

between the primitive unit vectors due to application of external strain has been taken into consideration to propose the approach. From our proposed model it is found that graphene under relaxed or symmetrical strain distribution is a zero bandgap semiconductor. However a band gap is opened as the asymmetrical strain is applied to it. It is seen that upto a certain level of strain (i.e. 12.2 % parallel to carbon-carbon bond and 7.3% perpendicular to carbon-carbon bond) the band gap of graphene increases

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) ‚ on the other hand‚ are thin strips of graphene‚ whose electronic properties depend on the chirality of their edges and their width. Zigzag GNRs (ZGNRs) show metallic behavior‚ whereas armchair GNRs (AGNRs) are semiconductors with a band-gap inversely proportional to their width [1]. Therefore‚ AGNRs have been suggested recently as a channel material for transistors. For an optimal performance‚ the width (W) of the ribbons must be scaled down to 1-2 nm with an

LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTANCE INTRODUCTION In the society‚ some times street lights glow in day time due to any reason. In mines area people face many difficulties due to absence of light in the nights. In frontier and hilly areas‚ people face many problems due to damaged street lights. For solve above these problems‚ we create a device in which the lights glow in night and in day time‚ they off automatically and don’t glow. Due to use of it‚ we can solve above problems and can also save electricity

TRANSISTOR The name is transistor derived from ‘transfer resistors’ indicating a solid state Semiconductor device. In addition to conductor and insulators‚ there is a third class of material that exhibits proportion of both. Under some conditions‚ it acts as an insulator‚ and under other conditions it’s a conductor. This phenomenon is called Semi-conducting and allows a variable control over electron flow. So‚ the transistor is semi conductor device used in electronics for amplitude. Transistor
