Complementary Symmetry Nanowire Logic Circuits: Experimental Demonstrations and in Silico Optimizations [PDF]
, 2008 Complementary symmetry (CS) Boolean logic utilizes both p- and n-type field-effect transistors (FETs) so that an input logic voltage signal will turn one or more p- or n-type FETs on, while turning an equal number of n- or p-type FETs off.

Atomistic simulations of heat transport in real-scale silicon nanowire devices
, 2012 Utilizing atomistic lattice dynamics and scattering theory, we study thermal transport in nanodevices made of 10 nm thick silicon nanowires, from 10 to 100 nm long, sandwiched between two bulk reservoirs. We find that thermal transport in devices differs
