The directed self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) using external fields guides the formation of sophisticated hierarchical materials but becomes less effective with decreasing particle size. As an alternative, electron-beam-driven…
Biosensing with ferromagnet-based magnetoresistive devices has been dominated by electrical detection of particle-induced changes to the devices' static magnetic configuration. There are however potential advantages to be gained from using…
We investigate the role of carbon nanotubes structure on their optical limiting properties. Samples of different and well-characterized structural features are studied by optical limiting and pump-probe experiments. The influence of the…
Patterning of graphene into micro- and nano-ribbons allows for the tunability in emerging fields such as flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices, and is gaining interest for the production of more efficient reinforcement for…
In this paper I will briefly introduce the idea of using Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) as target for the detection of low mass WIMPs with the additional information of directionality. I will also present the experimental efforts of developing a…
We report the effect of electron-beam patterning on the water uptake and ionic conductivity of Nafion films using a combination of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, quartz crystal microbalance studies, neutron reflectometry, and AC…
The generation of nanoscale square and stripe patterns is of major technological importance since they are compatible with industry-standard electronic circuitry. Recently, a blend of diblock copolymer interacting via hydrogen-bonding was…
Rotated ripple structures (RRS) on sputter eroded surfaces are potential candidates for nanoscale wire fabrication. We show that the necessary condition for RRS formation is that the width of the collision cascade in the longitudinal…
We develop an rf circuit model for single walled carbon nanotubes for both dc and capacitively contacted geometries. By modeling the nanotube as a nano-transmission line with distributed kinetic and magnetic inductance as well as…
Growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was performed by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD) of propane on Si(111) with a pre-treated Ni overlayer acting as a catalyst. Prior to the growth of CNTs, a thin film of Ni was…
Molecular building blocks interacting at the nanoscale organize spontaneously into stable mono- layers that display intriguing long-range ordering motifs on the surface of atomic substrates. The patterning process, if appropriately…
We show that single-atoms can be trapped on the surface of a subwavelength-diameter silica-fiber, an optical nanofiber, without any external field, and that single photons spontaneously emitted from the atoms can be readily detected through…
We present a model for the effect of stress on thin amorphous films that develop atop ion-irradiated silicon, based on the mechanism of ion-induced anisotropic plastic flow. Using only parameters directly measured or known to high accuracy,…
High-dose irradiation of nanostructures consisting of multiple graphene shells, such as spherical 'carbon onions' (CO) or cylindrical multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT), induces shell shrinkage by bond reconstruction around…
The unique topology and exceptional properties of carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) have inspired unconventional nano-device concepts, yet the fabrication of CNSs remains rather challenging. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the…
Manufacturing superconducting circuits out of ultrathin films is a challenging task when it comes to patterning complex compounds, which are likely to be deteriorated by the patterning process. With the purpose of developing high-T$_c$…
We demonstrate that thousands of periodic nano-craters are fabricated on a subwavelength-diameter tapered optical fiber, an optical nanofiber, by irradiating with just a single femtosecond laser pulse. A key aspect of the fabrication is…
The first selective growth of graphenic carbon thin films on silicon dioxide is reported. A preliminary e-beam exposure of the substrate is found to strongly affect the process of such films growth. The emphasis is placed on the influence…
We have succeeded to develop a model pair interaction which when added to a system of interacting particles can be tuned to arrange the interacting objects into sheets. The interaction is based on the decomposition of the dipole-dipole…
We report an electron-beam based method for the nanoscale patterning of the poly(ethylene oxide)/LiClO$_{4}$ polymer electrolyte. We use the patterned polymer electrolyte as a high capacitance gate dielectric in single nanowire transistors…
