Dielectric nanotomography based on electrostatic force microscopy: A numerical analysis

Rene Fabregas, Gabriel Gomila

Electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) can image nanoscale objects buried below the surface. Here, we theoretically show that this capability can be used to obtain nanotomographic in…

Depth mapping of metallic nanowire polymer nanocomposites by scanning dielectric microscopy

H. Balakrishnan, R. Millan-Solsona, M. Checa +3

Polymer nanocomposite materials based on metallic nanowires are widely investigated as transparent and flexible electrodes or as stretchable conductors and dielectrics for biosensi…

Anomalously low dielectric constant of confined water

L. Fumagalli, A. Esfandiar, R. Fabregas +10

The dielectric constant of interfacial water has been predicted to be smaller than that of bulk water (= 80) because the rotational freedom of water dipoles is expected to decrease…

Modelization of Thermal Fluctuations in G Protein-Coupled Receptors

C. Pennetta, V. Akimov, E. Alfinito +5

We simulate the electrical properties of a device realized by a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR), embedded in its membrane and in contact with two metallic electrodes through whic…

Shot Noise in Linear Macroscopic Resistors

G. Gomila, C. Pennetta, L. Reggiani +3

We report on a direct experimental evidence of shot noise in a linear macroscopic resistor. The origin of the shot noise comes from the fluctuation of the total number of charge ca…

Fluctuations of Complex Networks: Electrical Properties of Single Protein Nanodevices

C. Pennetta, V. Akimov, E. Alfinito +2

We present for the first time a complex network approach to the study of the electrical properties of single protein devices. In particular, we consider an electronic nanobiosensor…
