The SEM/FIB Workbench: Automated Nanorobotics System Inside of Scanning Electron or Focussed Ion Beam Microscopes

Klocke V., Burkart I., Kaufmann R., Klocke Nanotechnik GmbH, DE

With light microscopes it is natural for everybody to use manual or automatic toolsets like tweezers, knives, hooks, probes and several different measurement tools. The operators of SEM, FIB or Dual Beam systems generally work [...]

Optical Nanotrapping Using Illuminated Metallic Nanostructures: Analysis and Applications

Furlani E.P., Baev A., Prasad P.N., University at Buffalo, US

The interest in optical particle manipulation has grown steadily in recent years especially for applications in the biological sciences where the manipulated objects include cells, organelles, and larger molecules. While micron and sub-micron bioparticles can [...]

System Identification for Motion of Proteins Using an AFM-based Nanorobotic Manipulation

Park J., Kim B-K., Kim D-H., Kim B-K., Kim D-H., Lee K-I., Korea Institute of Science and Technology, KR

It is greatly important to understand the mechanics of AFM-based nanorobotic manipulation for efficient and reliable handling of nanoparticles. Robust motion control of an AFM-based nanorobotic manipulation is much challenging due to uncertain mechanics in [...]

High Order Parametric Resonance and Nonlinear Mechanics of Nanowires: Techniques and Experiments

Yu M-F, Wagner G.J., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US

We realize parametric resonances in a nanowire mechanical system using an oscillating electric field. The realization of high order parametric mechanical resonance in macroscopic systems is generally difficult due to mechanical energy losses and strict [...]
