This work consists in an experimental study of the main parameters governing the transport of heat across an interface between two solids, when it is dominated by phonons. The main experimental tool used is Time-Domain ThermoReflectance (TDTR), which is an ...
Self-assembly is the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures without human intervention. At the molecular level, self-assembly usually involves non-covalent interactions of various natures, such as van der Waals, electrostatic and ...
Organic semiconductors are promising materials for future electronic and electroluminescence applications. A detailed understanding of organic layers and nano-sized crystals down to single molecules can address fundamental questions of contacting organic s ...
This thesis presents the fabrication and characterization of organic thin film transistors (TFTs) on flexible polymer substrates and the development of compliant stencil lithography to significantly improve the patterning resolution on full-wafer scale. Po ...
Self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films have attracted immense attention for both fundamental and applied research. A SAM is composed of a large number of molecules with a head group that chemisorbs onto a substrate, a tail group that interacts with the outer ...
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 ...
In the last past years, many promising applications of nanoparticles in quantum electronics such as nanocrystal memories, chemical sensors or nanodevices based on single electron tunneling and Coulomb blockade effects have attracted much attention. Nanopar ...
Micro-mechanical systems are exquisite tools for high-resolution surface patterning. As an alternative to traditional photolithography, they can be used for local material deposition at the sub-100 nm scale. This can be either done by means of liquid dispe ...
Patterns of noble-metal structures on top of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au and SiO2 substrates have been prepared following two approaches. The first approach consists of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of Pt, Pd, Au, or Cu through nano- and microst ...
Mixed monolayers, which on flat surfaces phase-separate into randomly shaped domains, spontaneously form ordered rings of alternating composition when assembled around the core of a monolayer-protected gold nanoparticle (see figure). It is shown that it is ...
