Lecture
This lecture covers advanced topics in micro- and nanomanufacturing, focusing on single nanoparticle printing. The instructor discusses electro-topographical trapping, the coffee ring effect, and topographically-templated flow coating. Various applications to micro/nanosystem assembly are explored, including the unique properties of nanoparticles and the construction of nanodevices. The lecture delves into lithography, nanoparticle-based applications, and the integration of high-quality materials. Techniques such as confinement and templating, as well as rocking Brownian motors, are detailed for particle placement and sorting. The discussion extends to capillary crystallization and the coffee ring effect, showcasing the transition from 3D to 1D assembly methods.
