Conventional electron beam lithography has been used to fabricate mesoscopic Nb wires with a superconducting transition temperature above 7.0 K. The typical line width and the thickness were 200 nm and 45 nm respectively. Nb was deposited…
Below a certain temperature Tc (typically cryogenic), some materials lose their electric resistance R entering a superconducting state. Folowing the general trend toward a large scale integration of a greater number of electronic…
An ion beam based dry etching method has been developed for progressive reduction of dimensions of prefabricated nanostructures. The method has been successfully applied to aluminum nanowires and aluminum single electron transistors (SET).…
Single electron sources have been studied as a device to establish an electric current standard for 30 years and recently as an on-demand coherent source for Fermion quantum optics. In order to construct the single electron source on a…
Nanowires are formed by indenting and subsequently retracting two pieces of sodium metal. Their cross-section gradually reduces upon retraction and the diameters can be obtained from the conductance. In previous work we have demonstrated…
Large scale graphene electronics desires lithographic patterning of narrow graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) for device integration. However, conventional lithography can only reliably pattern ~20nm wide GNR arrays limited by lithography…
We report on the fabrication of nano-devices on the \hkl[-1 0 1] surface of a Weyl semimetal, a macroscopic crystal of TaAs, and low-temperature transport measurements. We can implement electron beam lithography by peeling off and…

Vertically aligned silicon micro/nanowire arrays of different sizes have been synthesized by combining the modified metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) and reactive ion etching (RIE) methods. This is a novel lithography-free method to…
A uniform array of single-grain Au nanodots, as small as 5-8 nm, can be formed on silicon using e-beam lithography. The as-fabricated nanodots are amorphous, and thermal annealing converts them to pure Au single crystals covered with a thin…

Superconducting nanowires can be fabricated by decomposition of an organometallic gas using a focused beam of Ga ions. However, physical damage and unintentional doping often results from the exposure to the ion beam, motivating the search…
