ELECTRON ENERGY-LOSS SPECTROSCOPY AND IMAGING

March 12, 2019
Author(s)
Vladimir P. Oleshko
This article describes electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), energy-filtering transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) and electron spectroscopic diffraction (ESD) in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) or in a scanning transmission electron

Label-Free Detection of Conformational Changes in Switchable DNA Nanostructures with Microwave Microfluidics

March 12, 2019
Author(s)
Angela C. Stelson, Minghui Lu, Charles A. Little, Christian J. Long, Nathan D. Orloff, Nicolas Stephanopolous, James C. Booth
Detection of conformational changes in biomolecular assemblies provides critical information into biological and self-assembly processes. State-of-the-art in situ conformation detection techniques rely on fluorescent labels or protein-specific binding

Raman Imaging of Surface and Sub-Surface Graphene Oxide in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites

March 1, 2019
Author(s)
Amber D. McCreary, Qi An, Aaron M. Forster, Kunwei Liu, Siyao He, Chris Macosko, Andreas Stein, Angela R. Hight Walker
The incorporation of nanofillers, such as graphene oxide (GO) into fiber reinforced polymer composites to improve their mechanical properties is a significant research area for a variety of industrial applications. However, to date there is no reliable

NIST Nanotechnology Environmental, Health, and Safety Research Program: 20092016

November 27, 2018
Author(s)
Debra L. Kaiser, Vincent A. Hackley
In response to needs of a government-wide initiative in nanotechnology led by a subcommittee within the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, NIST established a nanotechnology environmental, health, and safety (nano-EHS) research program

Highly mechanosensitive ion channels from graphene-embedded crown ethers

November 26, 2018
Author(s)
Alta Y. Fang, Kenneth Kroenlein, Demian Riccardi, Alexander Smolyanitsky
The ability to tune ionic permeation across nanoscale pores profoundly impacts diverse fields from nanofluidic computing to drug delivery. Here, we take advantage of complex formation between crown ethers and dissolved metal ions to demonstrate graphene

Effects of Consumer Use Practices on Nanosilver Release from Commercially Available Food Contact Materials

October 23, 2018
Author(s)
Susana Addo Ntim, Samuel R. Norris, David Goodwin, Jens Breffke, Keana Scott, Li Piin Sung, Treye Thomas, Gregory O. Noonan
Migration evaluation involving nano-enabled food contact materials (FCMs) mostly focus on potential nanoparticle release from new unused products. This may not represent consumer use practices encountered by the FCMs in their lifecycle. In order to

Electronic Characteristics of MoSe2 and MoTe2 for Nanoelectronic Applications

October 15, 2018
Author(s)
Asha Rani, Shiqi Guo, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov
Single-crystalline MoSe2 and MoTe2 platelets were grown by Chemical Vapor Transport (CVT), followed by exfoliation, device fabrication, optical and electrical characterization. We observed that for the field-effect-transistor (FET) channel thickness in

Nondestructive shape process monitoring of three-dimensional high aspect ratio targets using through-focus scanning optical microscopy Optical Microscopy

September 27, 2018
Author(s)
Ravikiran Attota, Hyeonggon Kang, Keana C. Scott, Richard A. Allen, Andras Vladar, Bunday Benjamin
Low-cost, high-throughput and nondestructive metrology of truly three-dimensional (3-D) targets for process control/monitoring is a critically needed enabling technology for high-volume manufacturing (HVM) of nano/micro technologies in multi-disciplinary

Approaches for the Quantitative Analysis of Oxidation State in Cerium Oxide Nanomaterials

September 21, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher M. Sims, Russell A. Maier, Aaron C. Johnston-Peck, Justin M. Gorham, Vincent A. Hackley, Bryant C. Nelson
Cerium oxide nanomaterials (nanoceria, CNMs) are receiving increased attention from the research community due to their unique chemical properties, most prominent of which is their ability to alternate between the Ce3+ and Ce4+ oxidation states. While many

Core-Shell p-i-n GaN Nanowire LEDs by N-polar Selective Area Growth

September 11, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew D. Brubaker, Kristen L. Genter, Bryan T. Spann, Alexana Roshko, Paul T. Blanchard, Todd E. Harvey, Kristine A. Bertness
GaN nanowire LEDs with radial p-i-n junctions were grown by molecular beam epitaxy using N- polar selective area growth on Si(111) substrates. The N-polar selective area growth process facilitated the growth of isolated and high-aspect-ratio n-type NW
