Solid Gold Nanostructures Fabricated by Electron Beam Deposition

Large flexibility of high aspect ratio carbon nanostructures fabricated by electron-beam-induced deposition.

The mechanical properties of free-standing electron beam deposited amorphous carbon structures have been studied using atomic force microscopy. The fabricated carbon blades are found to be extraordinarily flexible, capable of undergoing vertical deflection up to ∼ 75% of their total length without inelastic deformation. The elastic bending modulus of these structures was calculated to be 28 ± 1...

Thermally induced transformations of amorphous carbon nanostructures fabricated by electron beam induced deposition.

We studied the thermally induced phase transformations of electron-beam-induced deposited (EBID) amorphous carbon nanostructures by correlating the changes in its morphology with internal microstructure by using combined atomic force microscopy (AFM) and high resolution confocal Raman microscopy. These carbon deposits can be used to create heterogeneous junctions in electronic devices commonly ...

Highly conductive and pure gold nanostructures grown by electron beam induced deposition

This work introduces an additive direct-write nanofabrication technique for producing extremely conductive gold nanostructures from a commercial metalorganic precursor. Gold content of 91 atomic % (at. %) was achieved by using water as an oxidative enhancer during direct-write deposition. A model was developed based on the deposition rate and the chemical composition, and it explains the surfac...
