Abstract:
An approach to fabricating transparent electronic devices by using nanomaterial and nanofabrication is presented in this paper. A see-through capacitor is constructed from self-assembled silica nanoparticle layers that are stacked on the transparent substrate. The electrodes are made of indium tin oxide. Unlike the traditional processes used to fabricate such devices, the self-assembly approach enables one to synthesize the thin film layers at lower temperature and cost, and with a broader availability of nanomaterials. The vertical dimension of the self-assembled thin films can be precisely controlled, as well as the molecular order in the thin film layers. The shape of the capacitor is generated by planar micropatterning. The monitoring by quartz crystal demonstrates the steady growth of the silica nanoparticle multilayer. In addition, because the material synthesis and the device fabrication steps are separate, the fabrication is not affected by the harsh conditions required for the material synthesis. As a result, a clear pattern is allowed over a large area on the substrate. The prepared capacitive structure has an optical transparency higher than 92% over the visible spectrum. The capacitive impedance is measured at different frequencies and fit the theoretical results. As one of the fundamental components, this type of capacitive structure can serve in the transparent circuits, interactive media and sensors, as well as being applicable to other transparent devices.

Abstract:
The development of aligned nanofibers as useful scaffolds for tissue engineering is an actively sought-for research objective. Here, we propose a novel improvement of an existing self-assembly-based nanofabrication technique (ASB-SANS). This improvement, which we termed Directional ASB-SANS, allows one to produce cm2-large domains of highly aligned poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers in a rapid, inexpensive, and easy way. The so-grown aligned PLGA nanofibers exhibited remarkable adhesion to different substrates (glass, polyimide, and Si/SiOx), even when immersed in PBS solution and kept at physiological temperature (37 °C) for up to two weeks. Finally, the Directional ASB-SANS technique allowed us to grow PLGA fibers also on highly heterogeneous substrates such as polyimide-based, gold-coated flexible electrodes. These results suggest the viability of Directional ASB-SANS method for realizing biocompatible/bioresorbable, nanostructured coatings, potentially suitable for neural interface systems.

Abstract:
One of the key issues for SERS-based trace applications is engineering structurally uniform substrates with ultrasensitivity, stability, and good reproducibility. A label-free, cost-effective, and reproducible fabrication strategy of ultrasensitive SERS sensors was reported in this work. Herein, we present recent progress in self-assembly-based synthesis to elaborate precisely shaped and abundant gold nanoparticles in a large area. We demonstrated that shape control is driven by the selective adsorption of a cation (Na+, K+, and H+) on a single facet of gold nanocrystal seeds during the growth process. We studied SERS features as a function of morphology. Importantly, we found a correlation between the shape and experimental SERS enhancement factors. We observed a detection threshold of 10−20 M of bipyridine ethylene (BPE), which matches the lowest value determined in literature for BPE until now. Such novel sensing finding could be very promising for diseases and pathogen detection and opens up an avenue toward predicting which other morphologies could offer improved sensitivity.

Abstract:
The ability to tune the composition of nanostructured thin films is a hot topic for the design of functional coatings with advanced properties for sensing applications. The control of the structure at the nanoscale level enables an improvement of intrinsic properties (optical, chemical or physical) in comparison with the traditional bulk materials. In this sense, among all the known nanofabrication techniques, the layer-by-layer (LbL) nano-assembly method is a flexible, easily-scalable and versatile approach which makes possible precise control of the coating thickness, composition and structure. The development of sensitive nanocoatings has shown an exceptional growth in optical fiber sensing applications due to their self-assembling ability with oppositely charged components in order to obtain a multilayer structure. This nanoassembly technique is a powerful tool for the incorporation of a wide variety of species (polyelectrolytes, metal/metal oxide nanoparticles, hybrid particles, luminescent materials, dyes or biomolecules) in the resultant multilayer structure for the design of high-performance optical fiber sensors. In this work we present a review of applications related to optical fiber sensors based on advanced LbL coatings in two related research areas of great interest for the scientific community, namely chemical sensing (pH, gases and volatile organic compounds detection) as well as biological/biochemical sensing (proteins, immunoglobulins, antibodies or DNA detection).

Monolayer patterns of block copolymer (BCP) microdomains have been pursued for applications in below sub-30 nm nanolithography. BCP selfassembly processing is scalable and low cost, and is well-suited for integration with existing semiconductor fabrication techniques. The two critical issues are how to obtain reliable long-range ordering of features with minimum defect densities and how to successfully transfer the patterns into other functional materials. Exceptionally well-ordered and robust nanoscale patterns can be made from poly(styrene-b-dimethylsiloxane) (PS-PDMS) BCPs, which have a very large Flory-Huggins interaction parameter between the blocks compared to other commonly used BCPs. Cylinder- or sphere-forming BCP films were spincoated over silicon substrates patterned with shallow steps using optical lithography or nanoscale posts made by electron-beam lithography, and solvent-annealed to induce ordering. This generates patterns with a correlation length of at least several micrometers. The annealed film was treated with plasma to obtain oxidized PDMS patterns with a lateral dimension of 14 - 18 nm. These can be used as an etch mask or an easily removable template for patterning functional materials. Solvent vapor treatments can tune the pattern dimension and morphology. Different degrees of solvent uptake in BCP films during solvent-annealing can manipulate the interfacial interaction between the two blocks, and a mixed solvent vapor can change the effective volume fraction of each block. The self-assembled patterns can be transferred into various kinds of functional materials.
(cont.) For example, arrays of parallel lines were used as a mask to pattern poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) conducting polymer thin films. The resulting PEDOT:PSS nanowire array was used as an chemiresistive-type ethanol-sensing device. Metallic films such as Ti, Pt, Ta, W, and magnetic Co and Ni were structured using a pattern-reversal process. Coercivity enhancements were observed for the fabricated ferromagnetic nanostructures such as wires, rings, and antidots. These functional nanostructures can be utilized for a variety of devices such as high-density and high performance sensor or memory devices.

In this thesis, we investigated three-dimensional (3D) nanofabrication using electron-beam lithography (EBL), block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly, and capillary force-induced self-assembly. We first developed new processes for fabricating 3D nanostructures using a hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) and poly(methylmeth-acrylate) (PMMA) bilayer resist stack. We demonstrated self-aligned mushroom-shaped posts and freestanding supported structures. Next, we used the 3D nanostructures as topographical templates guiding the self-assembly of polystyrene-b-polydimethylsiloxane (PS-b-PDMS) block copolymer thin films. We observed parallel cylinders, mesh-shaped structures, and bar-shaped structures in PDMS. Finally, we studied capillary force-induced self-assembly of linear nanostructures using a spin drying process. We developed a computation schema based on the pairwise collapse of nanostructures. We achieved propagation of information and built a proof of concept logic gate.

Abstract:
An important goal of nanoscience is the self-assembly of nanoscale building blocks into complex nanostructures. DNA is an important and versatile building block for nanostructures because of its small size, predictable base pairing, and numerous sequence possibilities. I use DNA origami to design and fold DNA into predesigned shapes, to assemble thin, branched DNA nanostructures as templates for nanoscale metal features. Using a PCR-based scaffold strand generation procedure, several wire-like nanostructures with varying scaffold lengths were assembled. In addition, more complex prototype circuit element structures were designed and assembled, demonstrating the utility of this technique in creating complex templates. My fabrication method for DNA-templated nanodevices involves a combination of techniques, including: solution assembly of the DNA templates, surface orientation and placement, and selective nanoparticle attachment to form nanowires with designed gaps for the integration of semiconducting elements to incorporate transistor functionality. To demonstrate selective surface placement of DNA templates, DNA origami structures have been attached between gold nanospheres assembled into surface arrays. The DNA structures attached with high selectivity and density on the surfaces. In a similar base-pairing technique, 5 nm gold nanoparticles were aligned and attached to specific locations along DNA templates and then plated to form continuous metallic wires. The nanoparticles packed closely, through the use of a high density of short nucleotide attachment sequences (8 nucleotides), enabling a median gap size of 4.1 nm between neighboring nanoparticles. Several conditions, including hybridization time, magnesium ion concentration, ratio of nanoparticles to DNA origami, and age of the nanoparticle solution were explored to optimize the nanoparticle attachment process to enable thinner wires. These small, branched nanowires, along with the future addition of semiconducting elements, such as carbon nanotubes, could enable the formation of high-density self-assembled nanoscale electronic circuits.

DSA is a bottom-up nanolithography technique based on the ability of BCPs to segregate into domains at the micro/nanoscale, and it has attracted high interest due to its inherent simplicity, high throughput, low cost and potential for sub-10 nm resolution. Thanks to these characteristics, the technique has been heavily studied by the semiconductor industry for nanoelectronics, and also applied to alternate fields that might require from the definition of high-density nanoscale features. In this thesis we present a novel fabrication route based on DSA that proves to be suitable for the fabrication of nanomechanical systems. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of suspended silicon membranes clamped by high-density arrays of silicon nanowires by using a DSA approach based on the graphoepitaxy of polystyrene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PS-b-PMMA), a well-known diblock copolymer. Obtained devices can be further developed for building up high-sensitive mass sensors based on nanomechanical resonators.

Gold nanoparticles in the 1-2 mn core diameter size regime have generated a great deal of interest due to their size-dependent electronic, optical, and catalytic properties. A number of proof-of-concept experiments have demonstrated that small metal nanoparticles can be integrated into single electron transistors and optical waveguides. Still, reliable incorporation of gold nanoparticles into devices requires practical methods for their assembly on surfaces. Additionally, surface modification methods must be developed in order to control interparticle interactions and nanoparticle-environment interactions for use in sensing and catalysis. In this research, nanoparticle-substrate interactions were utilized to assemble surface-bound gold nanoparticle monolayers with interesting electronic and catalytic properties. Gold nanoparticles (1.5 nm diameter) with a thiol ligand shell containing phosphonic acid terminal functionality were synthesized and assembled selectively onto hafnium-modified silicon dioxide substrates through bonding of the terminal phosphonate to Hf(IV) surface groups. By increasing the surface coverage of Hf, it was possible to assemble monolayers of gold nanoparticles dense enough to exhibit nonlinear current-voltage properties across a 5-μm electrode gap at room temperature. Moreover, by taking advantage of the selectivity of this ligand shell for ZnO over SiO 2 , small gold nanoparticles were utilized as catalysts for selective growth of patterned, vertical ZnO nanowire arrays. In addition to engineering nanoparticle-substrate interactions, new surface modification methods were introduced to manipulate the interaction of the as-deposited gold nanoparticle monolayers with the environment. For example, thiol-thiol ligand exchange reactions were carried out on the surface-bound nanoparticle monolayers by immersion in dilute thiol solutions. Contact angle and XPS measurements indicate that the upper, surface-exposed phosphonic acid ligands are replaced by incoming thiol ligands. TEM measurements indicate that nanoparticle monolayers remain surface-bound and are stable to this exchange process, as the average particle size and surface coverage are preserved. As another example, the ligand shell can be partially removed by UV/ozone treatment to expose bare gold cores to the surrounding environment. On metal oxide substrates, this approach activates the particles for room temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. This dissertation includes both my previously published and my co-authored materials.

Abstract:
A set of elementary building blocks undergoes self-assembly if local interactions govern how this set forms intricate structures. Self-assembly has been widely observed in nature, ranging from the field of crystallography to the study of viruses and multicellular organisms. A natural question is whether a model of self-assembly can capture the hierarchical growth seen in nature or in other fields of mathematics. In this work, we consider hierarchical growth in substitution rules; informally, a substitution rule describes the iterated process by which the polygons of a given set are individually enlarged and dissected. We develop the Polygonal Two-Handed Assembly Model (p-2HAM) where building blocks, or tiles, are polygons and growth occurs when tiles bind to one another via matching, complementary bonds on adjacent sides; the resulting assemblies can then be used to construct new, larger structures. The p-2HAM is based on a handful of well-studied models, notably the Two-Handed Assembly Model and the polygonal free-body Tile Assembly Model. The primary focus of our work is to provide conditions which are either necessary or sufficient for the ``bordered simulation'' substitution rules. By this, we mean that a border made up of tiles is allowed to form around an assembly which then coordinates how the assembly interacts with other assemblies. In our main result, we provide a construction which gives a sufficient condition for bordered simulation. This condition is presented in graph theoretic terms and considers the adjacency of the polygons in the tilings associated to a given substitution rule. Alongside our results, we consider a collection of over one hundred substitution rules from various sources. We show that only the substitution rules in this collection which satisfy our sufficient condition admit bordered simulation. We conclude by considering open questions related to simulating substitution rules and to hierarchical growth in general.

Abstract:
The presented thesis entitled “High-resolution guiding patterns for the directed self-assembly of block copolymers” investigates strategies to introduce long-range order into block copolymer thin films for nanopatterning applications. Structures defined by top-down lithography that enable the introduction of long-range order into an otherwise disordered thin film of block copolymers are referred to as guiding patterns. This thesis explores and develops different techniques that enable the fabrication of guiding patterns with a particular focus on methods capable of providing high-resolution and high-accuracy, because they are at the prospect of playing a crucial role in the directed self-assembly of very low-pitch block copolymer materials. We demonstrate the directed self-assembly of an 11.7 nm full-pitch PS-b-PMMA block copolymer with guiding patterns fabricated by means of five different top-down lithography techniques. One strategy to fabricate guiding patterns consists in the generation of topographic structures, which is referred to as graphoepitaxy. In this case, we have used extreme-ultraviolet interference lithography to fabricate trenches with nanometer precision to study the self-assembly behavior of block copolymers under nanoconfinement with high accuracy. This system has allowed us to develop a free energy model to predict for which guiding pattern dimensions the defect-free directed self-assembly can be expected. Moreover, we have used electron beam lithography for the fabrication of sub-10 nm wide topographical guiding patterns and study the directed self-assembly of block copolymers in structures with feature sizes close to the material’s half-pitch. Another strategy to fabricate guiding pattern consists of chemical surface modification to create areas that are selectively affine to one of the blocks. We have presented a novel approach based on thermal scanning probe lithography and adjust the patterning conditions for the fabrication of chemical guiding patterns with 10 nm line width. Due to the absence of the proximity and diffraction effects, thermal scanning probe lithography is ideal for the fabrication of dense high-resolution chemical patterns. As a third strategy to align block copolymers, we use grain boundaries in block copolymer thin films as order-inducing surfaces. A surface modification is used to trap a grain of vertically oriented block copolymers between two grains of horizontally oriented block copolymer domains in a controlled manner. We call the developed technique “grain-boundary induced alignment”. To demonstrate its working principle we employ mechanical AFM and electron beam direct writing, and show the ordering of block copolymers on length scales of various hundreds of nanometers. The presented thesis is complemented with the development of a probe-based imaging technique to study the thermal conductivity of polymer materials with sub-10 nm lateral resolution. The dissipation of heat into a sample is determined at each measurement point by means of an electrical circuit that is integrated into the cantilever. We study the thermal conductivity of PS-b-PMMA block copolymers with different pitches and different orientations. This technique represents an advance in the investigation of polymeric surfaces due to its high resolution and good material sensitivity.

Full text
Abstract:
Strain-induced, self-assembled iron silicide nanostructures were grown on Si(001) substrate by conventional Fe evaporation and subsequent annealing. The initial Fe thickness was in the 0.1-6.0 nm range and the annealing temperature was 850 °C. The formed phases and structures were characterized by reflection high energy electron diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The electrical characteristics were investigated by I-V and C-V measurements, and by DLTS. The samples show silicide nanostructure formation in the whole thickness range. The shape of the nanostructures varied from rod like to triangular and quadratic depending on the initial Fe thickness. The size distribution of the formed iron silicide nanoobjects was not homogeneous, but they were oriented in square directions on Si(001). Higher thickness resulted in increased particles size.

Abstract:
This article discusses the selective self-assembly of semi-metal straight and branched nanorods on inert substrates. In particular, it describes antimony (Sb) nanorods and bismuth (Bi) nanobelts on inert substrates by physical vapor deposition in vacuum without using any catalyst and nanoscale template. After describing the experimental and drift correction procedures, the article reviews previous studies of semi-metal growth on inert substrates. It then measures the surface morphology and atomic structures of self-assembled Sb nanorods and Bi nanobelts using an in-situ scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). Based on these STM data, a mechanism for the self-assembly of straight and branched semi-metal nanorods is proposed.

Abstract:
This chapter explains how the appearance of grass-roots black Republican groups was far from unconventional; a spirit of self-determination had buttressed the formation of the National Negro Republican Assembly (NNRA) in 1964. But autonomy, political influence, and growth—the objective goals for most, if not all, black Republican groups—simply was not the reality, as most splinter organizations deteriorated just as quickly as they had risen. The NNRA was reduced to a passing biographical reference by 1969, as most members shifted their political energies elsewhere, while the group's successor, the National Council of Concerned Afro-American Republicans (NCCAAR), disbanded a year after its launch, as a result of infighting and lack of funds.

Abstract:
We apply an elastic field to the substrate to guide the self-assembly of domain patterns on its surface. The effect of arbitrary three dimensional external loading is found to be characterized by a single two dimensional parameter—a surface stain field of the substrate. A non-uniform strain field significantly influences the size, shape and orientation of self-assembled features, and may induce the formation of pattern colonies. It is shown that a pattern orientates normal to the strain gradient direction. An applied load anchors the position of a self-assembled pattern relative to the substrate, where a colony boundary resides on the strain gradient region. The work suggests a method of strain field design to make various monolayer patterns for nanofabrication.
