December 5th, 2024
During IEEE NANO 2024 in Gijon (Spain), from 8 to 11 July, the first edition of the NANO Student Design Competition (SDC) was held. The NANO SDC was planned to challenge the creativity, competitive spirit, and enthusiasm of the students. To participate in the NANO SDC, after submitting a paper to the conference and having it accepted, teams of 1-4 students, registered to the conference were. asked to bring their designs (e.g., software, prototypes, etc.) and showcase their results.
The awardees of the first NANO SDC edition were:
“FIRST-PRINCIPLE ANALYSIS OF ELASTIC CONSTANTS OF-946;-(ALXGA1-8722;X)2O3 FOR HETEROGENEOUS INTERFACE APPLICATIONS”

Title: A Practical Introduction to Quantum Computing
Register below to receive meeting link
Abstract:
Quantum Computing is a developing technology that promises the exciting possibility of solving computational challenges not accessible with classical processors. It can also be the subject of a great deal of hype and exaggerated claims. This webinar will offer a practical view of the technology, beginning with a brief, accessible, introduction to the unusual physics harnessed by quantum processors, followed by a summary of the actual, practical technology currently available to the public and others, focusing on IBM Quantum’s offerings, then a short live demonstration (connectivity permitting) of interacting with the systems both via the web and Qiskit software libraries.

Title: Advanced Nanoscale MOSFET Simulation with the Subband Boltzmann Transport Equation
Register below to receive meeting link.
Abstract:
Join us for an in-depth exploration of Nanoscale MOSFET Simulation using the Subband Boltzmann Transport Equation (SBTE), powered by the advanced GTS Nano Device Simulator (NDS). This webinar will guide you through the fundamentals of simulating MOSFETs at the nanoscale, focusing on device performance and transport phenomena. We will demonstrate live simulations and cover not only traditional silicon-based MOSFETs but also cutting-edge 1D and 2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), graphene, and carbon nanotubes. Attendees will gain hands-on insights into modeling these materials and learn how to leverage the SBTE for advanced device design.
