Robotic manipulation at the nanometer scale is a promising technology for structuring, characterizing and assembling nano building blocks into nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). Combined with recently developed nanofabrication processes, a hybrid approach to building NEMS from individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and SiGe/Si nanocoils is described. Nanosensors and nanoactuators are investigate...

Hybrid mathematical principles were introduced to large-scale electronic structure theories andrealized one-hundred-million atom (100-nm-scale) calculations on the K computer. Novellinear-algebraic theories were constructed as Krylov-subspace solvers for generalized shiftedlinear equations ((zS-H)x=b) and were implemented in our order-N calculation code ‘ELSES’(http://www.el...

The integration of nano-emitters into plasmonic devices with spatial control and nanometer precision has become a great challenge. In this paper, we report on the use smart polymer to selectively immobilize specific preselected sites gold nanocubes (GNCs). cunning is twofold. First, it records both selected site future emitters–GNC distance through plasmon-assisted photopolymerization. Second, ...

In a nano-ridge waveguide under oblique illumination, we demonstrated transmission enhancement resulting from a hybrid effect between propagation modes and surface plasmon wave. The measured near-field intensity with 44-degree illumination was 1.6 times higher than that illuminated with normal incident light. Consequently, a wedge-shaped fiber probe was proposed to serve as a compact near-field...
