Electron and x-ray focused beam-induced cross-linking in liquids: Toward rapid continuous 3D nanoprinting and interfacing using soft materials

September 15, 2020
Author(s)
Tanya Gupta, Evgheni Strelcov, Glenn Holland, Joshua D. Schumacher, Yang Yang, Mandy Esch, Vladimir Aksyuk, Patrick Zeller, Matteo Amati, Luca Gregoratti, Andrei Kolmakov
Additive fabrication of biocompatible 3D structures out of liquid hydrogel solutions has become pivotal technology for tissue engineering, soft robotics, biosensing, drug delivery etc. Electron and X-ray lithography are well suited to pattern nanoscopic

Low-resistance, high-yield electrical contacts to atom scale Si:P devices using palladium silicide

March 29, 2019
Author(s)
Scott W. Schmucker, Pradeep Namboodiri, Ranjit Kashid, Xiqiao Wang, Binhui Hu, Jonathan Wyrick, Alline Myers, Joshua D. Schumacher, Richard M. Silver, Michael Stewart
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) enables the fabrication of 2-D delta-doped structures in Si with atomistic precision, with applications from tunnel field effect transistors to qubits. The combination of a very small contact area and the restrictive

Local measurements of photocurrent and band gap in CdTe solar cells

Polycrystalline thin film technology has shown great promise for low cost, high efficiency photovoltaics. To further increase the power efficiency, a firm understanding of microstructural properties of the devices is required. In this work, we investigate

Strain engineering a 4a*?3a charge-density-wave phase in transition-metal dichalcogenide 1T-VSe2

July 19, 2017

Duming Zhang, Jeonghoon Ha, Hongwoo H. Baek, Yang-Hao Chan, Donat F. Natterer, Alline Myers, Joshua D. Schumacher, William Cullen, Albert Davydov, Young Kuk, Mei-Yin Chou, Nikolai Zhitenev, Joseph A. Stroscio
We report a new charge density wave (CDW) structure in strained 1T-VSe2 thin films synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy. The CDW structure is unconventional and exhibits a rectangular 4a×√3a periodicity, as opposed to the previously reported hexagonal 4a

Nanoscale Imaging and Spectroscopy of Band Gap and defects in Polycrystalline Photovoltaic Devices

April 12, 2017

Yohan Yoon, Jungseok Chae, Aaron M. Katzenmeyer, Heayoung Yoon, Joshua D. Schumacher, Sang M. An, Andrea Centrone, Nikolai B. Zhitenev
Improving the power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) devices is challenging because the generation, separation and collection of electron-hole pairs in PV devices is strongly dependent on details of the nanoscale chemical composition and defects
