Silver patterning using an atomic force microscope tip and laser-induced chemical deposition from liquids
(AIP Publishing, 2012)
This article presents a new direct patterning technique in which laser photoreduction of silver from a liquid is controlled by a scanning atomic force microscope tip. Contrary to expectations, the tip suppresses, rather ...
Surface waves and atomic force microscope probe-particle near-field coupling: discrete dipole approximation with surface interaction
(Optics InfoBase, 2010-10)
Evanescent waves on a surface form due to the collective motion of charges within the medium. They do not carry any energy away from the surface and decay exponentially as a function of the distance. However, if there is ...
Spectral tuning of near-field radiative heat flux between two thin silicon carbide films
(Institute of Physics, 2010)
Spectral distributions of radiative heat flux between two thin silicon carbide films separated by sub-wavelength distances in vacuum are analysed. An analytical expression for the near-field flux between two layers of ...
Discrete-dipole approximation with surface interaction: computational toolbox for MATLAB
(Elsevier, 2011-07)
We describe a MATLAB toolbox that utilizes the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) method for modelling light interaction with arbitrarily-shape scatterers in free space as well with planar surface interaction (DDA-SI). ...
Integrating magnetic heads with plasmonic nanostructures in multilayer configurations
(IEEE, 2013-07)
Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is an emerging technology that has increased the areal density of conventional recording techniques for hard disc drives. Integrated heads have enabled this increase through localized ...
Radiative transfer configuration factor catalog: a listing of relations for common geometries
(Elsevier, 2011-03)
An on-line compilation of radiation configuration factors for over 300 common geometries is provided as a supplementary material from the JQSRT web site at doi:10.1016/j.jqsrt.2010.10.002. The factors are gathered from ...
Comparison between discrete dipole approximation and other modelling methods for the plasmonic response of gold nanospheres
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014-05)
We investigate the plasmonic response of gold nanospheres calculated using discrete dipole approximation validated against the results from other discretization methods, namely the finite-difference time-domain method and ...
Design, operation, and motion characteristics of a precise piezoelectric linear motor
(Elsevier, 2010-04)
This paper presents the design, operation, and motion characteristics of a precise piezoelectric motor for linear translation. The motor is compact, thermally stable, ultra-high vacuum compatible, and suitable for applications ...
Estimating quantitative features of nanoparticles using multiple derivatives of scattering profiles
(Elsevier, 2011-05)
Characterization of nanoparticles on surfaces is a challenging in verse problem whose solution has many practical applications. This article proposes a method, suitable for in situ characterization systems, for estimating ...
Pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids in horizontal microtubes under thermally developing flow conditions
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
This study presents pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of water based nanofluids with TiO2 and Al2O3 nanoparticles of various mass fractions in horizontal smooth hypodermic microtubes with an outer diameter ...
