Nanofabrication with Lanthanum Hexaboride (LaB6) for Nanoscale Vacuum Electronics

Mankin M.N., Pan T.S., Modern Electron, US

We present the first nano- and microfabrication of vacuum microelectronic components incorporating lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6), a refractory low work function material with high electron emissivity. We design novel fabrication processes which yield ultra-low fill factor [...]

Microfluidic platform for studies of self-organizing processes in a bacterial cell

Yang D., Jennings A., Männik J., University of Tennessee, US

Cells maintain their structure and reproduce through numerous self-organizing processes. The common approach to understand how cellular organization is maintained is to perturb this organization and then observe a response from the cell. Essentially all [...]

Fabrication of Conductive Nanoporous Membranes using Self-Assembling Block for Electrically Controlled Diffusive Flow

Ozalp E.I., Kim S., Sundar V., Zhu J.-G., Weldon J.A., Carnegie Mellon University, US

Nanoporous membranes have been recognized as promising candidates for drug delivery applications due to their small pore size and high surface-to-volume ratio1. The ultimate goal of smart drug delivery systems is to release a specific [...]

DNA Double-Write Photolithography: A Synergy for Top-Down and Bottom-Up Nanofabrication

Heller M.J., Song Y., University of California San Diego, US

Intrinsic programmability and other unique properties of DNA allow it to be used as a self-assembly nanostructure material, easily functionalized with nanoparticles and other entities, and as a UV sensitive write material for patterning. Thus, [...]

Polymerized Ionic Liquid Films in Strong Electric Fields: Ion Transport and Nanopatterning

Kumar R., Bocharova V., Strelcov E., Tselev A., Collins L., Kravchenko I.I., Berdzinski S., Strehmel V., Ovchinnikova O.S., Minutolo J.A., Sangoro J.R., Agapov A.L., Kisliuk A., Soko A.P., Oak Ridge National Laboratory, US

The current work represents an important step in a search for novel materials and experimental techniques that would allow for controllable and inexpensive methods of surface patterning with nanoscale resolution. The novelty of the nanopatterning [...]

Fabrication of Infrared Energy Harvester Using Electrically Small Particles

AlShareef M.R., Cui B., Ramahi O., University of Waterloo, CA

A novel structure based on electrically small resonators is proposed for harvesting the infrared energy and yielding more than 84% harvesting efficiency. The proposed harvester has been fabricated using nano-fabrication tools. Moreover, silver adhesion improvement [...]
