Simulation Studies of Plasmon Enhanced Evanescent Near-Field Optical Lithography

Sefa-Ntiri B., Docker P., Ward M.C., Prewett P.D., University of Birmingham, UK

Evanescent Near-Field Optical Lithography (ENFOL) is an inexpensive route to nanolithography, overcoming the diffraction limitations of conventional optical technology. This paper details modelling work developed by the authors, to produce a predictive model that can [...]

NEMS Mass Sensor by Focused Ion Beam Fabrication

Boonliang B., Prewett P.D., Ward M.C.L., Docker P.T., Birmingham University, UK

Due to rising industrial demands (food, biology, control), there is a drive to develop smaller, more sensitive sensor-devices with real-time capability. The objective of this work is to utilise Focused Ion Beam (FIB) fabrication technology [...]

A Novel Microrheometer for Measuring Rheological Properties of Microquantities of Fluids

Lo C.S., Prewett P.D., Ward M.C.L., Docker P.T., University of Birmingham, UK

This paper describes a novel micromachined microrheometer, designed to measure the rheological properties of micro quantities of fluids. Measurements are achieved by monitoring the movement of superparamagnetic microbeads whilst in suspension in fluid when placed [...]
