This work presents analyses and developments in nanofabrication using stencil lithography and its application for electronics and biosensing. Metallic nanostructures are fabricated using stencil lithography studying the pattern transfer from the stencil to ...
The magnetic behavior of SmN has been investigated in stoichiometric polycrystalline films. All samples show ferromagnetic order with Curie temperature (T-C) of 27 3 K, evidenced by the occurrence of hysteresis below T-C. The ferromagnetic state is charact ...
Molecular fluorescence decay is significantly modified when the emitting molecule is located near a plasmonic structure. When the lateral sizes of such structures are reduced to nanometer-scale cross sections, they can be used to accurately control and amp ...
Stencil lithography is an innovative method for patterning that has a great flexibility from many points of view. It is based on shadow mask evaporation using thin silicon nitride membranes that allow the patterning of sub-100 nm features up to 100 μm in a ...
We numerically study the effect of structural asymmetry in a plasmonic metamaterial made from gold nanowires. It is reported that optically inactive (i.e., optically dark) particle plasmon modes of the symmetric wire lattice are immediately coupled to the ...
The aim of this thesis work was to obtain a deeper understanding of spin-dependent transport by the study of mixed effects of heat and charge currents in magnetic nanostructures. Indeed, even thermodynamics establish a relationship between both currents, n ...
A climbing robot using magnetic caterpillars is developed and constructed. It allows to move on ferromagnetic materials in any orientation, and to make inner plan transition. The achieved friction force is very high. ...
The development of nanosystems and nano-devices demands for patterning methods in the nanoscale. To bring them to the market, there is a need for fast, low-cost nanopatterning methods. In addition, an increased flexibility is important for the engineering ...
Patterned magnetic thin films are of interest due to the potential for new technological applications and also because of their modified physical behaviour as the lateral dimensions are reduced. The functionality of patterned films can be intelligently des ...
This thesis addresses the growth and magnetic characterization of 2D bimetallic nanostructures deposited by atomic beam epitaxy (ABE) on Pt(111). These structures possess both tunable high perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and magnetic moment. These ...
