This technical paper reports progress on two fronts on the proposed research in the field of Nanoxerography. Aspect 1 reports on a new nanolens approach on the basis of charged resist structures to print nanoparticles with high resolution – a 3 fold size reduction has been observed between the structures and the assembled particles. Directed assembly was observed due to a naturally occurring in...
