Scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) was used to characterize addressable microelectrode arrays patterned with 25 regularly spaced (100 μm center to center) 10 μm diameter platinum microdisks. Both the feedback mode and the substrate generation/tip c ...
In this work the development of a low-temperature scanning probe microscope and the investigation of thin insulating films at the atomic limit is presented. The scanning probe microscope has been designed in a modular way to provide large flexibility for t ...
The general idea of Nanotechnology is not new – it has been studied since Nobel laureate Richard Feynman outlined the idea in a speech in 1959 – but it's only recently that the progress carried out in the various fields of material, optic, physic and engin ...
Transactional memory (TM) provides an intuitive and simple way of writing parallel programs. TMs execute parallel programs speculatively and deliver better performance than conventional lock based parallel programs. However, in certain scenarios when an ap ...
Transactional memory (TM) is perceived as an appealing alternative to critical sections for general purpose concurrent programming. Despite the large amount of recent work on TM implementations, however, very little effort has been devoted to precisely def ...
Anewmicrosystem with the ability to detect magnetic microstructures based on the non-invasive Hall principle is presented. The micro-Hall plate embedded in the microsystem and scaled down to the physical limits of the employedCMOStechnology has an active a ...
We present an automation technique for the growth of electron beam deposited tips on whole wafers of atomic force microscope cantilevers. This technique uses pattern recognition on scanning electron microscope images of successive magnifications to precise ...
Due to the importance of scanning tunneling microscopy for atomic scale research the anomalously high corrugation values on close packed metal surfaces have been the subject of debate and extensive theoretical work in the past two decades. To date it remai ...
Gradual clogging of the apertures of nanostencils used as miniature shadow masks in metal evaporations can be reduced by coating the stencil with self-assembled monolayers (SAM). This is quantified by the dimensions (height and volume) of gold features obt ...
A simple method has been developed for the prodn. of Au surfaces which are uniformly flat over large areas. Si wafers serve as substrates for the evapn. of thin Au layers. A glass slide glued onto the Au film allows successful sepn. of the Au layer from th ...
