Uniform Nanoparticle based Monolayers Deposited by a Modified Spin Coating Technique

Subramanya Mayya K., Yeo I-S, Chung U-I, Moon J.T., Samsung Electronics Co.Ltd., KR

A method for deposition of uniform monolayers of cobalt nanoparticles (size ~ 10 nm) with uniformity in the nanoscale upto the macroscale is demonstrated on a 6" wafer by a modified spin coating method. The [...]

Computer Simulation Study of Mechanical Properties of Nanoscale Materials by Molecular Dynamics and Lattice Green’s Function Methods

Masuda-Jindo K., Menon M., Hung V-V, Tokyo Institute of Technology, JP

The mechanical properties of nanoscale materials are studied using the molecular dynamics and lattice Green’s function methods. The initial atomic structures of the dislocations and cracks are determined both from the elastic solutions as well [...]
