چکیده
Using a near-field scanning microscope (NT-MDT) with a 100 nm aperture cantilever held 1 μm apart from a microaxicon of diameter 14 μm and period 800 nm, we measure a focal spot resulting from the illumination by a linearly polarized laser light of wavelength λ=532 nm, with its FWHM being equal to 0.58λ, and the depth of focus being 5.6λ. The rms deviation of the focal spot intensity from the calculated value is 6%. The focus intensity is five times larger than the maximal illumination beam intensity.

Fabrication of porous metal nanoparticles and microbumps by means of nanosecond laser pulses focused through the fiber microaxicon.
We present a novel optical element - fiber microaxicon (FMA) for laser radiation focusing into a diffraction-limited spot with Bessel-like profile as well as for precision laser nanostructuring of metal film surfaces. Using the developed FMA for single-pulse irradiation of Au/Pd metal films on quartz substrate we have demonstrated the formation of submicron hollow microbumps with a small spike ...

In this paper, we studied the electronic conductance of a carbon nanoring using Green’s function method at the tight-binding approach for different positions of contacts in the presence and absence of magnetic field. The results show that as the conductors approch in the nanoring, the tunneling conductance in the gap region improves. Moreover, applying the magnetic field dramatically influences...
