Discovery and Utilization of Nanoscale and Mesoscale Enabling Materials and Processes for Optoelectronics and Electronic Interconnects
Abstract
This report describes the development of enabling mesoscale materials and development of new instrumentation and methodologies for nanoscale material characterization. The work involved the following eight separate efforts: 1. Use of Colloidal Array Photonic Materials for Photochemically and Photothermally Controllable Diffraction Devices; 2. Development of Methods to Fabricate Nanoscale and Mesoscale Enabling Materials such as Magnetically Anisotropic Spherical Particles; 3. Development of Methods to Fabricate Particles -with Chemically Anisotropic Surfaces; 4. Theoretical Determination of the Dependence of Photonic Crystal Diffraction on Crystal Dielectric Modulation and the Crystal Defect Structures; 5. Development of Methods to Direct, Control and Study the Self-Assembly of Ge/Si Quantum Dots; 6. Fabrication of Molecular Scale Shift Register Memories; 7. Development of a Nanoworkbench for Analysis, Manipulation and Excitation of Individual Nanostructures; and 8. Development of Instrumentation and Methodologies for Chemical Imaging of Nanoscale Surface Structures.
