Electronic transport in graphene nanoribbon junctions

Kristians Cernevics

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) - one-dimensional strips of graphene - share many of the exciting properties of graphene, such as ballistic transport over micron dimensions, strength and flexibility, but more importantly, they exhibit a tunable band gap that d ...

Boolean Rewriting Strikes Back: Reconvergence- Driven Windowing meets Resynthesis

Giovanni De Micheli, Heinz Riener, Siang-Yun Lee

The paper presents a novel DAG-aware Boolean rewriting algorithm for restructuring combinational logic before technology mapping. The algorithm, called window rewriting, repeatedly selects small parts of the logic and replaces them with more compact implem ...
