A Focused Chromium Ion Beam

October 21, 2010
Author(s)
Adam V. Steele, Brenton J. Knuffman, Jabez J. McClelland, Jon Orloff
With the goal of expanding the capabilities of focused ion beam microscopy and milling systems, we have demonstrated nanoscale focusing of chromium ions produced in a magneto-optical trap ion source (MOTIS). Neutral chromium atoms are captured into a

lSPR Study of DNA Wrapped Single Wall Carbon Nanotube (ssDNA-SWCNT) Adsorption on a Model Biological (Collagen) Substrate

September 20, 2010
Author(s)
Jung Jin Park, Jeffrey Fagan, JiYeon Huh, Kalman D. Migler, Alamgir Karim, Dharmaraj Raghavan
The kinetics of single stranded-DNA dispersed single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) adsorption onto an immobilized collagen layer in a microfluidic channel was probed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging. The adsorption was measured for a range of

The Cooper Pair Transistor

September 17, 2010
Author(s)
Jose A. Aumentado
The Cooper pair transistor (CPT) is a superconducting electrometer that has applications in quantum information as well as fundamental superconductivity studies. Since it operates in a near-dissipationless mode, it has potential as a minimally invasive

Stability and Surface Topography Evolution in Nanoimprinted Polymer Patterns under a Thermal Gradient

September 16, 2010
Author(s)
Christopher Soles, Yifu Ding, H. Jerry Qi, Kyle J. Alvine, Hyun W. Ro, Dae Up Ahn, Jack F. Douglas, Sheng Lin-Gibson
Nanostructures created in polymer films by nanoimprint lithography are subject to large stresses, both those from the imprinting processes as well as stresses arising from the intrinsic thermodynamic instabilities. These stresses can induce nanostructure

Growth of Planar Arrays of One-dimensional p-n Heterojunctions

September 15, 2010
Author(s)
Babak Nikoobakht, Andrew A. Herzing
We report a general method for /in-situ/ formation and hierarchical assembly of nanowire-based semiconductor heterojunctions that are electrically addressable. Heterojunctions are formed by lateral epitaxial growth of nanowires/nanowalls on a semiconductor

Carbon Nanotubes: Measuring Dispersion and Length

August 26, 2010
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Fagan, Barry J. Bauer, Erik K. Hobbie, Matthew Becker, Angela R. Hight Walker, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Jae H. Chun, Jan Obrzut, Vardhan Bajpai, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Daneesh O. Simien, JiYeon Huh, Kalman D. Migler
Advanced technological uses of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) rely on the production of single length and chirality populations that are currently only available through liquid phase post processing. The foundation of all of these processing steps

Production and Characterization of Polymer Microspheres Containing Trace Explosives Using Precision Particle Fabrication Technology

August 2, 2010
Author(s)
Matthew E. Staymates, Robert A. Fletcher, Jessica L. Staymates, John G. Gillen, Cory Berkland
Well characterized test materials are essential for validating the performance of current trace explosive detection systems. These test materials must replicate trace explosive contamination in the form of small particles with characteristic diameters in

Controlled nucleation of GaN nanowires grown with molecular beam epitaxy

July 13, 2010
Author(s)
Kristine A. Bertness, Aric W. Sanders, Devin M. Rourke, Todd E. Harvey, Alexana Roshko, Norman A. Sanford
The location of GaN nanowires was controlled with essentially perfect selectivity using patterned SiNx prior to molecular beam epitaxy growth. Growth was uniform within mask openings and absent on the mask surface for over 95 % of the usable area of a 76

Passive terahertz camera for standoff security screening

July 1, 2010
Author(s)
Erich N. Grossman, Charles Dietlein
We describe the construction and performance of a passive, real-time terahertz camera based on a modular, 64-element linear array of cryogenic hotspot microbolometers. A reflective conical scanner sweeps out a 2 m ×4 m(vertical × horizontal) field of view

Semiconductor Microelectronics and Nanoelectronics Programs

July 1, 2010
Author(s)
Joaquin (. Martinez, Yaw S. Obeng, Michele L. Buckley
The microelectronics industry supplies vital components to the electronics industry and to the U.S. economy, enabling repaid improvements in productivity and in new high technology growth industries such as electronic commerce and biotechnology. The

Mechanisms and Measurement of Nanomaterial-Induced Oxidative Damage to DNA

June 22, 2010
Author(s)
Bryant C. Nelson, Elijah J. Petersen
Many of the current investigations on the environmental health and human safety risks of engineered nanomaterials focus on their short-term acute effects. However, the long-term chronic effects of nanomaterials on living systems, and in particular, on the
