Abstract:
Metal nanostructured materials, with many excellent and unique physical and mechanical properties compared to macroscopic bulk materials, have been widely used in the fields of electronics, bioimaging, sensing, photonics, biomimetic biology, information, and energy storage. It is worthy of noting that most of these applications require the use of nanostructured metals with specific controlled properties, which are significantly dependent on a series of physical parameters of its characteristic size, geometry, composition, and structure. Therefore, research on low-cost preparation of metal nanostructures and controlling of their characteristic sizes and geometric shapes are the keys to their development in different application fields. The preparation methods, physical and chemical properties, and application progress of metallic nanostructures are reviewed, and the methods for characterizing metal nanostructures are summarized. Finally, the future development of metallic nanostructure materials is explored.

Abstract:
Boron nitride (BN) nanostructures are structural analogues of carbon nanostructures but have completely different bonding character and structural defects. They are chemically inert, electrically insulating, and potentially important in mechanical applications that include the strengthening of light structural materials. These applications require the reliable production of bulk amounts of pure BN nanostructures in order to be able to reinforce large quantities of structural materials, hence the need for the development of high-yield synthesis methods of pure BN nanostructures. Using borazine (B3N3H6) as chemical precursor and the hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) technique, pure BN nanostructures with cross-sectional sizes ranging between 20 and 50 nm were obtained, including nanoparticles and nanofibers. Their crystalline structure was characterized by (XRD), their morphology and nanostructure was examined by (SEM) and (TEM), while their chemical composition was studied by (EDS), (FTIR), (EELS), and (XPS). Taken altogether, the results indicate that all the material obtained is stoichiometric nanostructured BN with hexagonal and rhombohedral crystalline structure.

Abstract:
A novel method was applied to prepare one-dimensional β-Ga2O3 nanostructure films. In this method, β-Ga2O3 nanostructures have been successfully synthesized on Si(111) substrates through annealing sputtered Ga2O3/Mo films for differernt time under flowing ammonia. The as-synthesized β-Ga2O3 nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The results show that the formed nanostructures are single-crystalline Ga2O3 with monoclinic structure. The annealing time of the samples has an evident influence on the morphology and optical property of the nanostructured β-Ga2O3 synthesized. The representative photoluminescence spectrum at room temperature exhibits a strong and broad emission band centered at 411.5 nm and a relatively weak emission peak located at 437.6 nm. The growth mechanism of the β-Ga2O3 nanostructured materials is also discussed briefly.

Micro-nanostructured materials have superior mechanical properties compared with coarse-grained materials. Severe plastic deformation (SPD) can effectively refine grains, resulting in the formation of typical micro-nanostructures. Fine grains improve alloy strength and toughness. This review summarizes the application of several typical SPD methods for high-Mg Al alloy. The effects of different SPD methods on the microstructure evolution, micro-nanostructure formation mechanism, and mechanical properties of the high-Mg Al alloy are analyzed in sequence. Finally, the development and future of the high-Mg Al alloy micro/nanostructure regulation are described.

Abstract:
Fabrication of one-dimensional nanostructures is a key issue for optical devices, fluidic devices, and solar cells because of their unique functionalities such as antireflection and superhydrophobicity. Here, we report a novel one-step process to fabricate patternable hierarchical structures consisting of microstructures and one-dimensional nanostructures using a sacrificial layer. The layer plays a role as not only a micromask for producing microstructures but also as a nanomask for nanostructures according to the etching time. Using this method, we fabricated patterned hierarchical structures, with the ability to control the shape and density of the nanostructure. The various architectures provided unique functionalities. For example, our sacrificial-layer etching method allowed nanostructures denser than what would be attainable with conventional processes to form. The dense nanostructure resulted in a very low reflectance of the silicon surface (less than 1%). The nanostructured surface and hierarchically structured surface also exhibited excellent antiwetting properties, with a high contact angle (>165°) and low sliding angle (<1°). We believe that our fabrication approach will provide new insight into functional surfaces, such as those used for antiwetting and antireflection surface applications.

Abstract:
Nanostructured composites inspired by structural biomaterials such as bone and nacre form intriguing design templates for biomimetic materials. Here we use large scale molecular dynamics to study the shock response of nanocomposites with similar nanoscopic structural features as bone, to determine whether bioinspired nanostructures provide an improved shock mitigating performance. The utilization of these nanostructures is motivated by the toughness of bone under tensile load, which is far greater than its constituent phases and greater than most synthetic materials. To facilitate the computational experiments, we develop a modified version of an Embedded Atom Method (EAM) alloy multi-body interatomic potential to model the mechanical and physical properties of dissimilar phases of the biomimetic bone nanostructure. We find that the geometric arrangement and the specific length scales of design elements at nanoscale does not have a significant effect on shock dissipation, in contrast to the case of tensile loading where the nanostructural length scales strongly influence the mechanical properties. We find that interfacial sliding between the composite’s constituents is a major source of plasticity under shock loading. Based on this finding, we conclude that controlling the interfacial strength can be used to design a material with larger shock absorption. These observations provide valuable insight towards improving the design of nanostructures in shock-absorbing applications, and suggest that by tuning the interfacial properties in the nanocomposite may provide a path to design materials with enhanced shock absorbing capability.

Abstract:
Nanostructured polymers constitute an increasingly important class of materials. Investigations into the formation of nanostructural elements in microphase-ordered block copolymers have elucidated universal mechanisms of self-organization in soft-condensed matter, since topologically comparable nanostructures develop in biological and surfactant systems. Emerging applications of such polymers include nanotemplates for inorganic materials, optical switches and nanoreactors. Despite all the efforts that have focused on these materials in previous years, basic questions regarding the characteristics of these nanostructures, especially those exhibiting bicontinuity, persist. While most attempts to address these questions have relied on small-angle scattering, a real-space approach to this problem compares slices of simulated nanostructures to 2-D transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. An alternate strategy is transmission electron microtomography (TEMT), which utilizes 3-D images (reconstructed from a series of 2-D images collected at sequential tilt angles) for detailed structural analysis. Using this method, we have, for instance, recently confirmed that packing frustration,

AbstractThe following article is an edited transcript based on the MRS Medalist presentation given by Ivan K.Schuller of the University of California, San Diego, on December 3, 2003, at the Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston.Schuller received the MRS Medal for “his innovative studies of exchange bias in magnetic heterostructures and nanostructures.” Magnetic nanostructures have received increasing attention in recent years, motivated by the interesting phenomena that are apparent when physical size becomes comparable with relevant magnetic length scales.In addition, a number of important potential applications in the sensors and storage industries have emerged. When magnetic nanostructures are in contact with dissimilar magnetic materials, and because their magnetic fields extend considerably outside the physical structure, they are very susceptible to interaction with the surrounding environment.A particularly interesting situation is a ferromagnetic nanostructure in contact with an anti-ferromagnetic substrate.In this “exchange-biased” configuration, a variety of unusual phenomena arise:The reversal mode of the ferromagnet changes considerably, the superparamagnetic transition temperature is affected, and there is a noticeable change in the microscopic spin configuration.A series of experiments will be described involving these phenomena in nanostructured ferromagnets prepared by electron-beam lithography and self-assembly.

Abstract:
To mitigate carbon emission from the combustion of fossil fuels, membrane is advantageous due to the fact that membrane is a thin interphase acting as a selective barrier separating two phases. This thinness, typically in the range of 100 nm to a few micrometers, provides an almost natural platform to implement functional nanostructures. In this review, the recent progress in nanostructured membrane materials for CO2 capture will be discussed, including applications in flue gas decarbonizing (CO2/N2 separation) and syngas purification (CO2/H2 separation). In addition, the fundamentals of membrane technologies are also introduced. The reviewed nanostructure formation is confined to solid state materials, including polymer with intrinsic microporosity, carbon-based membranes, zeolite, and metal organic framework.

Abstract:
Les marchés de la thermoélectricité sont en pleine expansion avec l’intérêt croissant pour la récupération d’énergie thermique ou encore pour la gestion de la température de composants électroniques. En dépit de ses nombreux avantages, le développement de cette technologie est freiné par les performances des matériaux. Une voie d’amélioration identifiée est leur nanostructuration afin d’en diminuer la conductivité thermique de réseau.Dans ce travail de thèse, cette voie est appliquée au tellurure de bismuth, matériau connu pour posséder les meilleures performances autour de la température ambiante. Les matériaux sont obtenus par synthèse de nanoparticules en solution avant d’être mis en forme par pressage à chaud.Une première étude est réalisée sur la recherche d’un optimum de la taille de grain dans le massif. On montre que le contrôle des conditions de synthèse permet le contrôle des dimensions des nanoparticules. Par ailleurs, les analyses structurales et fonctionnelles des massifs après densification montrent que la variation de la taille initiale des particules permet le contrôle de la microstructure et des propriétés detransport des massifs.Une seconde étude porte sur la recherche d’un optimum en composition des matériaux Bi2Te3-xSex. Les analyses morphologiques mettent en évidence une structure complexe et particulière, laissant apparaitre la présence de trois phases dans les massifs.Les matériaux obtenus par cette méthode de synthèse possèdent a priori des propriétés de transport anisotropes. La caractérisation de leurs performances thermoélectriques est donc difficile. Plusieurs techniques de caractérisation sont mises en oeuvre afin de mieux connaitre leurs conductivités thermiques. Celles-ci sont faibles, ce qui montre l’intérêt de l’approche. Toutefois, leur conductivité électrique est plus basse que leurs homologues obtenus par des techniques plus conventionnelles. On montre néanmoins que l’optimisation des conditions de synthèse des particules entrant dans la composition des massifs alliés permet d’améliorer leurs propriétés électriques et donc leurs performances thermoélectriques
The global thermoelectric markets are in expansion with a growing interest for the energy harvesting or the thermal management of electronic components. Despite numerous advantages, this technology development is limited by the materials performances. A way to improve them is to use nanostructures in order to decrease the lattice thermal conductivity.In this work, this approach is applied to bismuth telluride, material well known for its high performance around room temperature. Materials are obtained from solution synthesis of nanoparticles before hot press compaction.A first study focuses on the determination of an optimal grain size in the bulk materials. It is shown that control over the synthesis parameters allows control on the size of nanoparticles.Moreover, structural and physical analyses on the bulks after sintering show that the change of thesynthesis parameters allows control over the microstructure and thermoelectric properties of the bulks.A second study is based on the study of an optimal composition of Bi2Te3-xSex materials. Morphological analysis show a specific and complex structure with three phases in the bulks.It is postulated that these materials should have anisotropic transport properties. Consequently, their characterizations are difficult. Different characterization techniques are used in order to have a better understanding of their thermal conductivities. Thermal conductivity of the bulks is found low which confirm the interest of this approach. However the electrical conductivity is lower than the one of the materials obtained by more conventional methods. We show that the synthesis parameters of the particles can be optimized to increase the thermoelectric performances of the bulk materials

Two different interfaces were the focus of study: 1) the interface between disordered amorphous carbon and inorganic materials (metal nanostructures and silicon), and 2) the interface between partially ordered graphene (graphene oxide) and synthetic polymer matrix. Specifically, the uniqueness of this study can be summarized through the following novel findings, fabrication processes, and characterization techniques: • A simple and efficient process for faster, greener, less-expensive, and highly localized transformation of amorphous carbon nanostructures into graphitic nanostructures using low temperature heat and light treatments was developed for the fabrication of low-resistance interfaces between carbon nanomaterials and inorganic metal surfaces. • A new protocol for high resolution mapping the charge distribution and electronic properties of nanoscale chemically heterogeneous domains on non-homogeneous surfaces such as graphene oxide was established. • High strength laminated mechanical nanocomposites based on high interfacial stress transfer between polymer matrices and large area, flat, and non-wrinkled graphene oxide sheets were suggested and demonstrated. • Scanning Thermal Twist Microscopy – a thermal microscopy based technique was developed and demonstrated for characterizing the thermal properties of homogeneous and heterogeneous interfaces with nanoscale spatial resolution and high thermal sensitivity unachievable using traditional techniques.

Abstract:
The interactions of metal-containing molecules and nanoparticles (NPs) with the interior of hollow graphitic carbon nanostructures (CNs) were investigated and their chemical transformations in the nanoscale channels of CNs appraised. The gas phase insertion of Group VI metal hexacarbonyl complexes (M(CO)6, M=Cr, Mo, W) into CNs was successfully developed and optimised to provide good filling rates as confirmed by transition electron microscopy (TEM). Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that Group VI M(CO)6 complexes with greater polarisability exhibit stronger van der Waals interactions with the interior of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). The synthesis of metal based NPs inside graphitised carbon nanofibers (GNFs) by the in situ transformation of the encapsulated M(CO)6 precursor molecules was successfully achieved and it was demonstrated that GNFs can act as a source of oxygen in these reactions. The nanotube filling methodology was applied for the multi-step synthesis of new inorganic materials inside CNs by the controlled reactions of M(CO)6, I2 and H2S. This approach yielded unusual van der Waals hybrid materials such as “tube inside a tube” and other hybrid structures of MoS2 and GNFs. In SWNTs, with significantly narrower diameters than GNFs or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), metal complexes form unique 1D arrays of octahedral [M6I14]2- clusters with the nanotube acting as a nanocontainer and a poly-cation balancing the charge of the guest-clusters. The iodides of Mo and W were effectively converted into extremely thin MS2 nanoribbons (NRs) within SWNTs, providing a new more efficient route to the hybrid inorganic nanostructures. In MWNTs, the [Mo6Ii8Ia2Ia a4/2] clusters are packed in a hexagonal pattern to optimise filling of the void, and when reacted with H2S they provide a range of multi-layered MS2NRs with their widths controlled by the internal diameter of the host nanotube.

Abstract:
In this work, we have modelled multilayer magneto-photonic nanostructures in one dimension which display circular birefringence. Starting from Maxwell's equations, we have derived the 4 × 4 transfer matrix for these media. This is used to calculate optical and magneto-optical properties when the structure is deposited on an isotropic transparent substrate. For a transparent substrate it is important to include the effect of multiple incoherent back reflections in the substrate; therefore, the calculations were adapted to consider such reflections for both thick finite isotropic and circularly birefringent substrates. The results show the significant contribution of incoherent back reflections on the magneto-optical Kerr effects. We have reanalysed Sato's modulation method including incoherent back reflections in the substrate. We have derived exact and approximate Faraday rotation formulae for a circularly birefringent film on a circularly birefringent substrate; and a circularly birefringent cavity structure.

Selective epitaxial growth (SEG) of SiGe on patterned SiO2/Si substrates by ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHVCVD) shows promise for the fabrication of novel SiGe microelectronic structures. This work explores selective growth conditions in the SiH2Cl2/SiH4/GeH4/H2 system between 650-850⁰C, without the addition of C12 or HC1, on substrates patterned by both conventional and interferometric lithography. We have achieved several important milestones for the fabrication of vertical MOSFETs by selective growth in 100 nm SiO2 features patterned by interferometric lithography. We have observed excellent selectivity to SiO2 masks with SiH2C12 at 750⁰C, perfect epitaxial Si filling of SiO2 features, the facet morphology during growth, and the effects of n-type doping on selective growth. We have also fabricated extremely sharp p-n diode doping profiles. With the above accomplishments we have demonstrated the feasibility of vertical MOSFET fabrication through selective epitaxial growth. To realize the advantages of advanced MOSFET designs on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates, we have developed a facet-free raised source/drain process utilizing moderate n-type doping of Si selective growth and <110>-oriented vertical SiO2 sidewalls. However, to improve SiO2 spacer dimension fidelity and eliminate Si substrate overetching, a novel SiO2/Si3N4 spacer process was developed. The keys to the SiO2/Si3N4 spacer process are removal of the Si3N4 layer prior to growth and increased Si ELO growth by moderate in situ n-type doping. This process has wide ranging application to both SOI and bulk Si technologies for fabrication of low-resistance contacts in advanced devices.
(cont.) By a combination of interferometric lithography Si/SiO2 substrate patterning and Ge selective epitaxial growth, we have demonstrated threading dislocation blocking at the oxide sidewall which shows promise for dislocation filtering and the fabrication of low defect density Ge on Si for III-V device integration. Defects at the Ge film surface only arise at the merging of epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) fronts from neighboring holes. These results confirm that epitaxial necking can be used to reduce threading dislocation density in any lattice-mismatched systems where dislocations are not parallel to growth directions. Investigation of Ge selective growth in micron-sized SiO2 features by plan-view TEM shows that substrate patterning on the order of microns is insufficient to filter dislocations in a large mismatch system ([epsilon] > 2%). Ge p-i-n photodetectors were selectively grown in micron-sized SiO2/Si features to correlate materials properties with electrical characteristics. For chemical protection and compatibility with Si microelectronics, Ge photodetector regions were capped with a thin n+ Si layer. Photodetectors fabricated on unpatterned substrates demonstrated leakage currents comparable to published results on Ge on Si photodetectors while leakage currents were noticeably degraded in devices grown on patterned substrates.

Abstract:
Quasi-random nanostructured material systems (NMSs) are emerging engineered material systems via cost-effective, scalable bottom-up processes, such as the phase separation of polymer mixtures or the mechanical self-assembly based on thin-film wrinkling. Current development of functional quasi-random NMSs mainly follows a sequential strategy without considering the fabrication conditions in nanostructure optimization, which limits the feasibility of the optimized design for large-scale, parallel nanomanufacturing using bottom-up processes. We propose a novel design methodology for designing quasi-random NMSs that employs spectral density function (SDF) to concurrently optimize the nanostructure and design the corresponding nanomanufacturing conditions of a bottom-up process. Alternative to the well-known correlation functions for characterizing the structural correlation of NMSs, the SDF provides a convenient and informative design representation to bridge the gap between processing-structure and structure-performance relationships, to enable fast explorations of optimal fabricable nanostructures, and to exploit the stochastic nature of manufacturing processes. In this paper, we first introduce the SDF as a non-deterministic design representation for quasi-random NMSs, compared with the two-point correlation function. Efficient reconstruction methods for quasi-random NMSs are developed for handling different morphologies, such as the channel-type and particle-type, in simulation-based design. The SDF based computational design methodology is illustrated by the optimization of quasi-random light-trapping nanostructures in thin-film solar cells for both channel-type and particle-type NMSs. Finally, the concurrent design strategy is employed to optimize the quasi-random light-trapping structure manufactured via scalable wrinkle nanolithography process.

Abstract:
A novel flexible electrochemical biosensor for protein biomarker detection was successfully designed and fabricated on a nanoporous polyimide membrane using zinc oxide (ZnO). Nanostructures of ZnO were grown on microelectrode platform using aqueous solution bath. Electrochemical measurements were performed using gold, ZnO seed and nanostructured electrodes to study the influence of electrode surface area on biosensing performance. Feasibility analysis of sensor platforms was evaluated using high concentrations (in ng/mL) of troponin-T. The results showed that improved performance can be obtained on nanostructured platform by careful optimization of growth conditions. This study demonstrates the development of nanostructured ZnO flexible biosensors towards ultra-sensitive protein biosensing.

Abstract:
Chemically synthesized nanostructures such as nanowires1, carbon nanotubes2 and quantum dots3 possess extraordinary physical, electronic and optical properties that are not found in bulk matter. These characteristics make them attractive candidates for building subsequent generations of novel and superior devices that will find application in areas such as electronics, photonics, energy and biotechnology. In order to realize the full potential of these nanoscale materials, manufacturing techniques that combine the advantages of top-down lithography with bottom-up programmed assembly need to be developed, so that nanostructures can be organized into higher-level devices and systems in a rational manner. However, it is essential that nanostructure assembly occur only at specified locations of the substrate and nowhere else, since otherwise undesirable structures and devices will result. Towards this end, we have developed a hybrid micro/nanoscale-manufacturing paradigm that can be used to program the assembly of nanostructured building blocks at specific, pre-defined locations of a chip in a highly parallel fashion. As a prototype system we have used synthetic DNA molecules and gold nanoparticles modified with complementary DNA strands as the building blocks to demonstrate the highly selective and specific assembly of these nanomaterials on lithographically patterned substrates.
