Dip-pen nanolithography of electrical contacts to single graphene flakes.

Multiplexed biomimetic lipid membranes on graphene by dip-pen nanolithography

The application of graphene in sensor devices depends on the ability to appropriately functionalize the pristine graphene. Here we show the direct writing of tailored phospholipid membranes on graphene using dip-pen nanolithography. Phospholipids exhibit higher mobility on graphene compared with the commonly used silicon dioxide substrate, leading to well-spread uniform membranes. Dip-pen nanol...

Single-layer graphene oxide sheet: a novel substrate for dip-pen nanolithography.

Graphene oxide (GO) sheet is used as a novel substrate for dip-pen nanolithography (DPN). After GO is transferred onto SiO(2) using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique, CoCl(2) is patterned on both GO and exposed SiO(2) substrates simultaneously by DPN, which is used for growth of different structured carbon nanotubes.

Passive and Active Probe Arrays for Dip-Pen Nanolithography

The development of passive and active atomic force microscope (AFM) probe arrays is reported in this paper. The devices are specifically designed to work with Dip-Pen Nanolithography and are fabricated using MEMS micromachining techniques. These devices can generate sub-100nm patterns in a high speed, parallel, and controllable fashion.

Nanoscale materials patterning and engineering by atomic force microscopy nanolithography

This review article aims to provide an updated and comprehensive description on the development of atomic force microscopy (AFM) nanolithography for structuring and fabrication at the nanometer scale. The many AFM nanolithographic techniques are classified into two general groups of force-assisted and bias-assisted nanolithography on the basis of their mechanistic and operational principles. Fo...
