    Crosstalk stability analysis in multilayer graphene nanoribbon interconnects

    , Article Circuits, Systems, and Signal Processing ; Volume 32, Issue 6 , 2013 , Pages 2653-2666 ; 0278081X (ISSN) Akbari, L ; Faez, R ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper a time-domain response and Nyquist stability criterion to acquire dependence of degree of crosstalk relative stability based on transmission lines modeling (TLM) is investigated for coupled multilayer graphene nanoribbon (MLGNR) interconnects. This is the first instance that such an analysis has been presented for coupled MLGNR consisting of both capacitive and mutual-inductive couplings. The near-end and far-end outputs of coupled MLGNR individually are compared in two cases, with considering both couplings and without them (single MLGNR). It is observed that the near-end output of the system together with both couplings is more stable and at its far-end output, an induced... 

    A novel model for analysis of multilayer graphene sheets taking into account the interlayer shear effect

    , Article Meccanica ; Volume 53, Issue 11-12 , 2018 , Pages 3061-3082 ; 00256455 (ISSN) Nikfar, M ; Asghari, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Springer Netherlands  2018
    Abstract
    In this study, a multiplate shear model is developed for dynamic analysis of multilayer graphene sheets with arbitrary shapes considering the interlayer shear effect. By utilizing the model, then some free-vibration analysis is presented. According to the experimental results, the weak interlayer van der Waals interaction cannot maintain the integrity of carbon atoms in adjacent layers. Therefore, it is required that the interlayer shear effect is accounted to study multilayer graphene mechanical behavior. The governing differential equation of motion is derived for the multilayer graphene sheets utilizing a variational approach based on the Kirchhoff plate model. The essential and natural... 

    Investigation of the Influence of Charge and External Field on Desalination by Carbon Nanostructures Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Mortazavi, Vahid Reza (Author) ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor) ; Nouri-Borujerdi, Ali (Co-Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Membrane filtration systems are one of the most widely used and effective methods for desalination of saline water in the seas and oceans and treatment of industrial and domestic effluents in order to provide the fresh water resources needed for human survival on the earth and also meet the needs of various industries. The low efficacy of the traditional technologies necessitates the introduction of novel desalination methods. For this purpose, carbon-based membranes have been proposed as high-performance membranes because of their high mechanical strength, ultrafast permeation, and controllable pore size. In this study, by conducting molecular dynamics simulations, the effects of electric... 

    Dynamic pull-in instability of multilayer graphene NEMSs: non-classical continuum model and molecular dynamics simulations

    , Article Acta Mechanica ; Volume 233, Issue 3 , 2022 , Pages 991-1018 ; 00015970 (ISSN) Nikfar, M ; Taati, E ; Asghari, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Springer  2022
    Abstract
    A novel non-classical continuum model for pull-in analysis of multilayer graphene sheets (MLGSs) is developed to consider the effect of shear interaction between layers based on the nonlocal elasticity theory. The equation governing the motion and corresponding boundary conditions of electrostatically actuated MLGSs are obtained based on the nonlocal shear multiplate theory. The Galerkin method along with the first mode shapes for clamped and cantilever MLGSs together with the method of parameter expansion is used to obtain closed-form expressions of the normalized frequency and time history response. In addition, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are carried out to validate the pull-in...

    Graphene, due to its unique excellent properties, is proposed as a developing method with high efficiency compared to classical water desalination methods. In this regard, charging the membrane is considered a promising and effective approach to enhance the performance of the graphene membrane. In this research, by using molecular dynamics simulations, the water desalination by charged multilayer graphene is evaluated and the influence of electric charge amount and geometric parameters, including the pore diameter and the interlayer distance, are investigated. According to the results, the multilayer nanoporous graphene with 16.35 Å pore diameter, in which the electric charge is distributed... 

    Developing Classical and Nonlocal Interlayer Shear Models for Free Vibration Analysis of Multilayer Graphene Plates

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Nikfar, Mohsen (Author) ; Asghari, Mohsen (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Experimental observations on multilayer graphene structures show that interlayer interactions including compressive and shear effects between layers are very important in their mechanical behavior. Existing analytical investigations have generally addressed the issue of pressure interactions between layers using interatomic potentials, while the models which consider the interlayer shear effect are rarely found in the literature. To address this shortcoming, this thesis presents a new formulation for multilayer graphene structures with desired shapes and boundaries, taking into account the interlayer shear effect according to the classical continuum mechanics theory. Next, size-dependent... 

    Analytical and molecular dynamics simulation approaches to study behavior of multilayer graphene-based nanoresonators incorporating interlayer shear effect

    , Article Applied Physics A: Materials Science and Processing ; Volume 124, Issue 2 , 2018 ; 09478396 (ISSN) Nikfar, M ; Asghari, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Springer Verlag  2018
    Abstract
    Analytical and molecular dynamics simulation approaches are used in this paper to study free-vibration behavior of multilayer graphene-based nanoresonators considering interlayer shear effect. According to experimental observations, the weak interlayer van der Waals interaction cannot maintain the integrity of carbon atoms in the adjacent layers. Hence, it is vital that the interlayer shear effect is taken into account to design and analyze multilayer graphene-based nanoresonators. The differential equation of motion and the general form of boundary conditions are first derived for multilayer graphene sheets with rectangular shape using the Hamilton’s principle. Then, by pursuing an... 

    On the theoretical and molecular dynamic methods for natural frequencies of multilayer graphene nanosheets incorporating nonlocality and interlayer shear effects

    , Article Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures ; Volume 29, Issue 20 , 2022 , Pages 2873-2883 ; 15376494 (ISSN) Nikfar, M ; Taati, E ; Asghari, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In this paper, a multiplate nonlocal shear model and molecular dynamic simulations are presented to investigate the effects of interlayer shear and nonlocality on the natural frequencies of multilayer graphene sheets (MLGSs). From one aspect in the optimal design of such structures, the interaction between graphene layers, which can significantly vary the static and dynamic behavior due to lack of solidity of layers stack, should be considered. On the other hand, it is requied that the nonlocality phenomenon which has an effective role in the mechanical analysis of nanostructures is taken into account. To this aim, the equation of motion along with corresponding boundary conditions is...
