What Causes Signal Attenuation in Nanoscale Systems?
Several factors contribute to signal attenuation at the nanoscale:
1. Scattering: Tiny particles and irregularities in the medium can scatter the signal. 2. Absorption: The medium itself can absorb some of the signal energy, converting it into other forms like heat. 3. Reflection and Refraction: Interfaces between different materials can cause parts of the signal to reflect or refract, leading to a loss in the transmitted signal strength.
