    摘要: A nanopositioning system for producing a coupling interaction between a first nanoparticle and a second nanoparticle. A first MEMS positioning assembly includes an electro-static comb drive actuator configured to selectively displace a first nanoparticle in a first dimension and an electrode configured to selectively displace the first nanoparticle in a second dimensions. Accordingly, the first nanoparticle may be selectively positioned in two dimensions to modulate the distance between the first nanoparticle and a second nanoparticle that may be coupled to a second MEMS positioning assembly. Modulating the distance between the first and second nanoparticles obtains a coupling interaction between the nanoparticles that alters at least one material property of the nanoparticles applicable to a variety of sensing and control applications.

    摘要: Atom probe apparatus includes an emission tip from which atoms can be evaporated in atomic emission events, a position sensitive detector for detecting the position and timing of the charge cloud resulting from atomic emission events, and a pulse heating beam for heating the emission tip in short pulses to evaporate atoms essentially one at a time from the emission tip. The heating beam may be formed as an electron beam from an electron gun which is directed to the tip and scanned rapidly back and forth across the tip to be incident upon the tip for short periods of time as the beam is scanned back and forth. The beam may further be produced as a chopped beam of electrons by scanning the beam back and forth across a slit in an aperture plate so that only pulses of electrons pass through the plate as the beam passes across the slit. The electrons passing through the slit are then focused and directed to the tip. The tip may also be heated by light from a pulsed source such as a laser which is passed through a reflecting Schwarzschild objective and focused onto the tip in pulses to provide excitation by light photons. The position sensitive detector, which may include a microchannel plate backed by a position sensitive wedge and strip detector, determines both the time of arrival of a charge pulse from an atomic emission event and the relative position of the charge cloud at the point where it impacts upon the detector. The detector may also be formed as a three-level, trigonal array of pads which allows both one and two atomic events per heating pulse to be resolved.

    摘要: An in situ polymer microstructure formation method. The monomer mixture is polymerized in a solvent/precipitant through exposure to ionizing radiation in the absence any chemical mediators. If an exposure mask is employed to block out certain regions of the radiation cross section, then a patterned microstructure is formed. The polymerization mechanism is based on the so-called free-radical retrograde-precipitation polymerization process, in which polymerization occurs while the system is phase separating above the lower critical solution temperature. This method was extended to produce a crosslinked line grid-pattern of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), which has been known to have thermoreversible properties.
