Title: Direct Imaging of Low-Dimensional Nanostructures

Abstract

Low-dimensional nanostructures are technologically desirable for their novel physical properties, as well as the benefits of packing density due to scale. In quantum computing, an ideal structure might consist of single dopant atoms precisely positioned a few nanometers below a surface [1]. There is also a need for truly atomic-scale interconnects and ancillary structures. However, due to their nanoscale dimensions, the physical properties of nanowires and related structures will depend on the environment in which they are embedded as well as their composition. This problem is particularly relevant for samples grown on ultra-clean surfaces, which may not survive outside of high-vacuum systems or which might be substantially affected by adatoms. The question then arises as to what happens to surface nanostructures or single dopant atoms during encapsulation or overgrowth.

STRUCTURAL FLUCTUATIONS, ELECTRICAL RESPONSE AND THE RELIABILITY OF NANOSTRUCTURES (FINAL REPORT)

Technical Report Rous, Philip J ; Williams, Ellen D ; Fuhrer, Michael S

The goal of the research supported by DOE-FG02-01ER45939 was to synthesize a number of experimental and theoretical approaches to understand the relationship between morphological fluctuations, the electrical response and the reliability (failure) of metallic nanostructures. The primary focus of our work was the study of metallic nanowires which we regard as prototypical of nanoscale interconnects. Our research plan has been to link together these materials properties and behaviors by understanding the phenomenon of, and the effects of electromigration at nanometer length scales. The thrust of our research has been founded on the concept that, for nanostructures where the surface-to-volume ratiomore »« less

Synthesis and resistivity of topological metal MoP nanostructures

Journal Article Han, Hyeuk Jin ; Hynek, David ; Wu, Zishan ; ... - APL Materials

Due to the increased surface to volume ratios, topological nanomaterials can enhance contributions from the topological surface states in transport measurements, which is critical for device applications that exploit the topological properties. It is particularly important for topological semimetals in which bulk carriers are unavoidable to make them into nanostructures to reveal the nature of the topological surface states, such as the Fermi arcs or nodal lines. Here, we report the nanostructure synthesis of the recently discovered triple-point topological metal MoP by direct conversion of MoO₃ nanostructures and study their transport properties. We observe that the initial size of themore »« less

Final Report: Biological and Synthetic Nanostructures Controlled at the Atomistic Level

Technical Report Williamson, A ; van Buuren, T

Nanotechnology holds great promise for many application fields, ranging from the semiconductor industry to medical research and national security. Novel, nanostructured materials are the fundamental building blocks upon which all these future nanotechnologies will be based. In this Strategic Initiative (SI) we conducted a combined theoretical and experimental investigation of the modeling, synthesis, characterization, and design techniques which are required to fabricate semiconducting and metallic nanostructures with enhanced properties. We focused on developing capabilities that have broad applicability to a wide range of materials and can be applied both to nanomaterials that are currently being developed for nanotechnology applications andmore »« less

Scalable Methods for Electronic Excitations and Optical Responses in Nanostructures: Mathematics to Algorithms to Observables

Technical Report Chelikowsky, James R

The work reported here took place at the University of Minnesota from September 15, 2003 to November 14, 2005. This funding resulted in 10 invited articles or book chapters, 37 articles in refereed journals and 13 invited talks. The funding helped train 5 PhD students. The research supported by this grant focused on developing theoretical methods for predicting and understanding the properties of matter at the nanoscale. Within this regime, new phenomena occur that are characteristic of neither the atomic limit, nor the crystalline limit. Moreover, this regime is crucial for understanding the emergence of macroscopic properties such as ferromagnetism.more »« less

In Situ Analytical Electron Microscopy for Probing Nanoscale Electrochemistry

Journal Article Graetz, J ; Meng, Y S ; McGilvray, T ; ... - The Electrochemical Society Interface

Oxides and their tailored structures are at the heart of electrochemical energy storage technologies and advances in understanding and controlling the dynamic behaviors in the complex oxides, particularly at the interfaces, during electrochemical processes will catalyze creative design concepts for new materials with enhanced and better-understood properties. Such knowledge is not accessible without new analytical tools. New innovative experimental techniques are needed for understanding the chemistry and structure of the bulk and interfaces, more importantly how they change with electrochemical processes in situ. Analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is used extensively to study electrode materials ex situ and is onemore »« less
