Electrical pulse fabrication of graphene nanopores in electrolyte solution
(AIP Publishing, 2015)Nanopores in graphenemembranes can potentially offer unprecedented spatial resolution for single molecule sensing, but their fabrication has thus far been difficult, poorly scalable, and prone to contamination. We demonstrate ... -
Embedding a Carbon Nanotube across the Diameter of a Solid State Nanopore
(American Vacuum Society, 2011)A fabrication method for positioning and embedding a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) across the diameter of a solid state nanopore is presented. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is used to grow SWNTs over arrays of ... -
Engineering Shadows to Fabricate Optical Metasurfaces
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014)Optical metasurfaces—patterned arrays of plasmonic nanoantennas that enable the precise manipulation of light–matter interactions—are emerging as critical components in many nanophotonic materials, including planar ... -
Fabrication and Replication of Arrays of Single- or Multicomponent Nanostructures by Replica Molding and Mechanical Sectioning
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)This paper describes the fabrication of arrays of nanostructures (rings, crescents, counterfacing split rings, cylinders, coaxial cylinders, and other structures) by a four-step process: (i) molding an array of epoxy posts ... -
Feedback-controlled ion beam sculpting apparatus
(AIP Publishing, 2004)We report the design of an “ion sculpting” instrument that enables the controlled fabrication of nanometer-sized structures in solid-state materials. The instrument employs a beam of kilo-electron-volt argon ions that ... -
Micro- and Nanopatterning of Inorganic and Polymeric Substrates by Indentation Lithography
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2010)This paper describes the use of a nanoindenter, equipped with a diamond tip, to form patterns of indentations on planar substrates (epoxy, silicon, and \(SiO_2\)). The process is called “Indentation Lithography” (IndL). ... -
Patterning the Tips of Optical Fibers with Metallic Nanostructures Using Nanoskiving
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2011)Convenient and inexpensive methods to pattern the facets of optical fibers with metallic nanostructures would enable many applications. This communication reports a method to generate and transfer arrays of metallic ... -
Survey of Materials for Nanoskiving and Influence of the Cutting Process on the Nanostructures Produced
(American Chemical Society, 2010)This paper examines the factors that influence the quality of nanostructures fabricated by sectioning thin films with an ultramicrotome (“nanoskiving”). It surveys different materials (metals, ceramics, semiconductors, ... -
A Technique to Transfer Metallic Nanoscale Patterns to Small and Non-Planar Surfaces
(American Chemical Society, 2009)Conventional lithographic methods (e.g., electron-beam lithography, photolithography) are capable of producing high-resolution structures over large areas but are generally limited to large (>1 cm2) planar substrates. ... -
Use of Thin Sectioning (Nanoskiving) to Fabricate Nanostructures for Electronic and Optical Applications
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011)This Review discusses nanoskiving—a simple and inexpensive method of nanofabrication, which minimizes requirements for access to cleanrooms and associated facilities, and which makes it possible to fabricate nanostructures ...
