In this paper, we introduce a horizontally-oriented, photophoretic `boat' trap that is capable of capturing and self-loading large (radius ${\ge}1$ $\mu$m) solid gold particles in air for more than one hour. Once trapped, particles are held…
Tracking individual nano-objets in live cells during arbitrary long times is an ubiquitous need in modern biology. We present here a method for tracking individual 5 nm gold nanoparticles on live cells. It relies on the photothermal effect…
While nanoalloys are of paramount scientific and practical interests, the main processes leading to their formation are still poorly understood. Key structural features in the alloy systems, including crystal phase, chemical ordering, and…
We present an original heterodyne holography method for digital holography that relies on two-dimensional heterodyne detection to record the phase and the amplitude of a f ield. The technique has been tested on objects as much as 13 mm in…
Though significant advances have been made in the field of metal nanostructures, researchers are yet to synthesize one atom thin two-dimensional 2D gold nanostructures. We report, for the first time, a technique to synthesize one atom thin…
Nanoscale 3D surface modifications, by scanning tunneling microscopy under ambient conditions, of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films have been performed. It was demonstrated that there are well defined combinations of bias voltages and scan speeds…
We present a cost-effective, simple and fast digital holographic microscopy method based upon Rayleigh-Sommerfeld back propagation for identification of the geometrical shape of a cell. The method was tested using synthetic hologram images…
It has been experimentally established in numerous cases that precipitation of monodispersed colloids from homogeneous solutions is a complex process. Specifically, it was found that in many systems nuclei, produced rapidly in a…
Most methods for optical visualization beyond the diffraction limit rely on fluorescence emission by molecular tags. Here, we report a method for visualization of nanostructures down to a few nanometers using a conventional bright-field…
We report on a photoconductive gain effect in two-dimensional arrays of gold nanoparticles, in which alkane molecules are inserted. The nanoparticle arrays are formed by a self-assembly process from alkanethiol-coated gold nanoparticles,…
Digital holography has applications in bio-imaging because it can simultaneously obtain the amplitude and phase information of a microscopic sample in a single shot, thus facilitating non-contact, noninvasive observation of the 3D shape of…
Single nanoparticle tracking using optical microscopy is a powerful technique with many applications in biology, chemistry and material sciences. Despite significant advances, localising objects with nanometric position accuracy in a…
We present a detailed molecular-dynamics study of the melting, freezing, and coalescence of gold nanoclusters within the framework of the embedded-atom method. Concerning melting, we find the process to first affect the surface…
The properties and applications of metallic nanoparticles are inseparably connected not only to their detailed morphology and composition, but also to their structural configuration and mutual interactions. As a result, the assemblies often…
We report the first direct observation of ferromagnetic spin polarization of Au nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 1.9 nm using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). Owing to the element selectivity of XMCD, only the gold…
The interest in 3D dynamical tracking is growing in fields such as robotics, biology and fluid dynamics. Recently, a major source of progress in 3D tracking has been the study of collective behaviour in biological systems, where the…
In this study, we investigate the problem of tracking objects with unknown shapes using three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data. We propose a Gaussian process-based model to jointly estimate object kinematics, including position,…
Identifying the three-dimensional (3D) crystal-plane and strain-field distributions of nanocrystals is essential for optical, catalytic, and electronic applications. Here, we developed a methodology for visualizing the 3D information of…
Triple-GEM detectors are a well known technology in high energy physics. In order to have a complete understanding of their behavior, in parallel with on beam testing, a Monte Carlo code has to be developed to simulate their response to the…
Formation of monodispersed colloidal particles is a complex process: nuclei, produced rapidly in a supersaturated solution, grow to nanosize primary particles, which then aggregate (coagulate) to form much larger final colloids. This paper…
