Two-dimensional atomic lithography by submicrometer focusing of atomic beams
We analyze a method for serial writing of arbitrary two-dimensional patterns using optical focusing of a collimated atomic beam. A spatial light modulator is used in a side illumination geometry to create a localized optical spot with secondary maxima that are well separated from the central peak. Numerical simulation of a lithography experiment using a magneto-optical trap as a source of cold ...
متن کاملAtomic tunneling from a scanning-tunneling or atomic-force microscope tip: dissipative quantum effects from phonons.
We study the effects of phonons on the tunneling of an atom between two surfaces. In contrast to an atom tunneling in the bulk, the phonons couple very strongly and qualitatively change the tunneling behavior. This is the first example of Ohmic coupling from phonons for a two-state system. We propose an experiment in which an atom tunnels from the tip of an scanning-tunneling microscope, and sh...
متن کاملPlatinum atomic contacts: From tunneling to contact
We present a theoretical study of the electronic transport through Pt nanocontacts. We show that the analysis of the tunneling regime requires a very careful treatment of the technical details. For instance, an insufficient size of the system can cause unphysical charge oscillations to arise along the transport direction; moreover, the use of an inappropriate basis set can deviate the distance ...
متن کاملHybrid Inflation Exit through Tunneling
For hybrid inflationary potentials, we derive the tunneling rate from field configurations along the flat direction towards the waterfall regime. This process competes with the classically rolling evolution of the scalar fields and needs to be strongly subdominant for phenomenologically viable models. Tunneling may exclude models with a mass scale below 10 GeV, but can be suppressed by small va...
متن کامل3D LITHOGRAPHY. Atomic gold-enabled three-dimensional lithography for silicon mesostructures.
Three-dimensional (3D) mesostructured semiconductors show promising properties and applications; however, to date, few methods exist to synthesize or fabricate such materials. Metal can diffuse along semiconductor surfaces, and even trace amounts can change the surface behavior. We exploited the phenomena for 3D mesoscale lithography, by showing one example where iterated deposition-diffusion-i...
