Direct Observation of Nanofabrication using the Optical Microscope combined with Nanopipette/QTF-AFM System

An S., Stambaugh C., Kwon S., Lee K., Kim B., Kim Q., Kim B., Kim Q., Jhe W., Seoul National University, KR

We demonstrated direct observation of nanofabrication using the optical microscope (OM) combined with nanopipette/QTF-AFM (Quartz Tuning Fork-Atomic Force Microscopy) system. Various solutions are ejected onto the substrate through the nano-/micro-aperture of the pulled pipette, and [...]

Embossed and Intaglio Nano-Patterning using Nanopipette based on the QTF-AFM System

An S.M., Lee K.Y., Jhe W.H., Seoul National University, KR

We demonstrated embossed and intaglio nano-patterning using Nanopipette based on the QTF-AFM (Quartz Tunning Fork-Atomic Force Microscopy) system. Used materials in the patterning system were nanoparticles solution and acetone for delivery solution mica and flat [...]

Nano-Patterning of NaCl Using Nanopipette based on the QTF-AFM System

An S.M., Geol W.H. Jhe M., Department of Physics and Astronomy, Seoul National University, KR

We made nano-patterning of NaCl on the clean Au-Substrate & Mica using Nanopipette based on the QTF-AFM (Quartz Tunning Fork-Atomic Force Microscopy) nano-scaled water ejection system. The NaCl is ionized in liquid solution (we used [...]

NILCom® – Commercialization of Nanoimprint Lithography

Luesebrink H., Glinsner T., Moormann Ch., Bender M., Fuchs A., EV Group, AT

NILCom is a consortium and technology platform for Nanoimprint Lithography (NIL) processes. NILCom offers the opportunity to leverage NIL synergies and support market segment acceleration for processes and infrastructure in its main areas of interest: [...]

Functional Nano-Structured Surfaces for Protein Based Sensors

Valsesia A., Meziani T., Colpo P., Lejeune M., Ceccone G., Rossi F., Joint Research Center, European Commission, IT

The reduction of the typical length scale in the creation of patterned surfaces is of high interest in the field of biosensor and bio-interacting materials. During the last few years several researchers explored the influence [...]

Binary Chemical Nanopatterns: Fabrication and Use as Templates for Electrostatic Self-Assembly

Baralia G., Jonas A.M., Nicol E., Moussa A., Nysten B., Pallandre A., Université catholique de Louvain, BE

We report on surface-directed macromolecular self-assembly at the nanoscale, starting from 2D templates produced by combining electron beam nanolithography with surface chemistry. As assembly process, we concentrate on electrostatic self-assembly, which allows to grow functional [...]
