Nanomanipulators with reduced hysteresis and interferometers build in NanoFabs

Luskinovich P.N., Zhabotinskiy V.A., NANOMETER Standard GmbH, DE

The use of nanomanipulators made on the base of monocrystals characterized inverse piezoelectric effect and many times, in comparison with piezoceramic, less hysteresis and creep, allows to achieve the following results: - Shorten the time [...]

Nano-Lithography in Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) for Real World Applications

Gilsinn J., Zhou H., Damazo B., Fu J., Silver R., NIST, US

As nano-lithography technology improves, more companies and research groups have the capability to create nano-scale structures. Scanning tunneling microscopes (STMs) are commonly used to create these structures and evaluate them afterward. One difficulty is that [...]

A Miniature Laser Interferometer for Noninvasive Viscometry

Behroozi F., The University of Northern Iowa, US

A miniature laser interferometer consisting entirely of an optical fiber held in close proximity to a fluid surface is described. The total path difference in this interferometer is less than a millimeter. The interferometer may [...]
