We introduce quantum point contact microscopy (QPCM) as a novel method for surface characterization, where the conductance through a quantum point contact formed by a metal atom between the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and the surface is mapped a ...
Topographic nanostructuring of surfaces is a promising concept, in particular to improve the bio-integration of titanium orthopedic implants. In this context, a new method for the nanostructuring of anodised titanium surfaces was developed. Ordered topogra ...
Mechanical properties of nanostructures could be remarkably different from their bulk counterparts owing to scale effects, which have attracted considerable research interest in recent years. However, nanomechanics studies are hindered by the difficulties ...
Nanostructure ZnO hollow microspheres with average crystallite size of about 15 nm, and average diameters of about 1 mu m, were successfully fabricated through a novel hydrothermal method. Hollow microspheres were formed due to self-assembly of ZnO oblong ...
Coupling between electrical and mechanical phenomena is ubiquitous in nature and underpins the functionality of materials and systems as diversified as ferroelectrics and multiferroics to electroactive molecules to biological systems. Recent years have wit ...
Photostructurable epoxy based resists, like SU-8, are soft materials with a Young’s Modulus around 4 GPa, which makes them particularly suitable as base material to fabricate Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) probes for non-destructive analysis of fragile samp ...
One of the most challenging strategies to achieve tunable nanophotonic devices is to build robust nanohybrids with variable emission in the visible spectral range, while keeping the merits of pristine single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). This goal is re ...
We have characterized the polymer physics of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) using atomic force microscopy. The persistence length l(p) of circular ssDNA adsorbed on a modified graphite surface was determined independently of secondary structure. At a very low ...
A surface-supported open metal−organic nanomesh featuring a 24 nm2 cavity size and extending to μm domains was fabricated by Co-directed assembly of para-hexaphenyl-dicarbonitrile linker molecules in two dimensions. The metallosupramolecular lattice is the ...
We report the growth of vertically aligned single-wall and multi-wall carbon nanotube forest using a Laser Activated – Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition process. The experiments were performed in a cold-wall reactor filled with an ethylene-hydrogen-argon ...
