Nanofabrication by scanning probe microscope lithography: A review

In addition to its well-known capabilities in imaging and spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy sSPMd has recently shown great potentials for patterning of material structures in nanoscales. It has drawn the attention of not only the scientific community, but also the industry. This article examines various applications of SPM in modification, deposition, removal, and manipulation of material...

Scanning tunneling luminescence of individual CdSe nanowires.

The local luminescence properties of individual CdSe nanowires composed of segments of zinc blende and wurtzite crystal structures are investigated by low-temperature scanning tunneling luminescence spectroscopy. Light emission from the wires is achieved by the direct injection of holes and electrons, without the need for coupling to tip-induced plasmons in the underlying metal substrate. The p...

Studying of various nanolithography methods by using Scanning Probe Microscope

The Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs) based lithographic techniques have been demonstrated as an extremely capable patterning tool. Manipulating surfaces, creating atomic assembly, fabricating chemical patterns, imaging topography and characterizing various mechanical properties of materials in nanometer regime are enabled by this technique.

Current–Voltage Characterization of Individual As-Grown Nanowires Using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Utilizing semiconductor nanowires for (opto)electronics requires exact knowledge of their current-voltage properties. We report accurate on-top imaging and I-V characterization of individual as-grown nanowires, using a subnanometer resolution scanning tunneling microscope with no need for additional microscopy tools, thus allowing versatile application. We form Ohmic contacts to InP and InAs na...
