| Quantum
daisy. Twelve cobalt atoms arranged in a circle on
a surface of copper produce a daisy-like pattern from the interference
of electron wave. This image was made with a one-of-a-kind
instrument that, acting autonomously, picks up and places individual
atoms anywhere on a surface. NIST scientists are studying the
quantum properties of different atom arrangements to help improve
the design and fabrication of nanoscale devices. |
