3:00 PM - POLYMERS DIVISION SEMINAR: Combinatorial Surface Chemistry Libraries
Designing surfaces that tailor structure, function and properties of surface films is the key challenge in incorporating nanostructured materials into viable biomedical, electronics, coatings and sensors applications. Combinatorial surface libraries with versatile chemistry would thus allow for greater flexibility in analyzing structure/property relationships in these materials. Surface chemistry gradients were created by controlled diffusion of chlorosilane vapor through an elastomeric barrier. This method offers a flexible choice of available surface chemistry and facilitates molecular mixing of two chemical species, insuring homogeneous monolayers for micro- and nano-scale applications. Libraries created using an elastomeric diffusion barrier with changing thickness resulted in monolayer gradients over 30 mm in length, optimal for macro-scale applications. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy was used to evaluate the chemical composition of the surface films, and the monolayer quality was surveyed using Atomic Force Microscopy.

2/13 -- WEDNESDAY

10:45 AM - NIST CENTER FOR NEUTRON RESEARCH SEMINAR: On Masters and Slaves: How Water Controls Protein Motions and Function
One of the most difficult aspects of understanding protein structure, dynamics and function concerns the interaction with the solvent. Water contributes to the stability the native state but also acts as a lubricant flexibilizing an otherwise rigid structure. A variety of dynamic neutron scattering techniques reveal two classes of protein motions, internal and solvent-coupled. The same conclusion is derived from flash photolysis experiments on ligand binding kinetics with heme proteins at variable solvent viscosity and pressure. Rotational jumps of side-chains are only weakly coupled to the surface. The reorientational motion of water at the protein surface induces small scale librational displacements of side chains, facilitating ligand exchange between active site and the solvent. The protein-solvent interaction occurs on a pico-second time scale and is best described by "coupling" and not by "slaving", since the protein also modifies the properties of the solvent: Hydration water does not crystallize at low temperatures but performs a dynamical transition from a liquid to a glassy state. With neutron scattering both protein and water motions can be observed on a pico- to nano- second time-scale.

2/20/08 1:30 PM - CNST NANOFABRICATION RESEARCH GROUP SEMINAR: Nonlinear Optics in Silicon Photonic Wires: Theory and Application
Silicon photonic wires (SPW) are deeply scaled silicon waveguides with transverse dimensions much less than 1 ?m. Integrated silicon photonic devices based on SPW generally have very small footprint and very strong light confinement, which lead to many advantageous physical properties: capability for dispersion engineering, high optical-field density, enhanced effective nonlinearity, and intrinsically short carrier lifetime. First, I will present a comprehensive theoretical model developed to describe pulse dynamics in high-index-contrast and anisotropic waveguides. Third-order nonlinearities, dispersion effects up to the third-order and carrier effects are the three major contributors to the rich pulse dynamics in SPW. In this thesis, various nonlinear optical processes in SPW such as stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS), self-phase modulation (SPM), cross-phase modulation (XPM), modulation instability (MI), and third-order dispersion (TOD) induced soliton-radiation effect are studied theoretically and experimentally. In linear regime, I systematically investigated the "dispersion engineering" in SPW and experimentally demonstrated that SPW could support wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmission at 300 Gb/s for intra-chip optical network. SPM of optical pulses with temporal widths in both picosecond and femtosecond regimes is studied experimentally and theoretically. In the femtosecond regime, the interplay of nonlinear effects, group-velocity-dispersion (GVD) and TOD results in soliton-like pulse propagation in SPW. TOD-induced soliton radiation was demonstrated both numerically and experimentally. XPM is studied using two femtosecond pulses. I investigated the time-resolved phase modulation as a manifestation of the walk-off between these two pulses. XPM is also utilized to optically compress a weak 200-fs pulse propagating in the anomalous GVD regime. MI is a four-wave-mixing (FWM) process that is phase-matched by SPM. We demonstrated that strong MI can be observed in silicon photonic wires with lengths of only a few millimeters using numerical simulation. Our results suggest that MI can be employed to design on-chip optical sources with a highly tunable repetition rate. SRS-based optical amplification in silicon waveguide is a significant functionality. I use the model developed in this thesis to study numerically SRS-mediated pulse dynamics, such as Stokes pulse generation from noise and Raman amplification of Stokes pulse.

2/22/08 10:30 AM - NIST COLLOQUIUM SERIES: Benjamin Franklin: The First Scientific American
Famous, fascinating Benjamin Franklin--he would be neither without his accomplishments in science. Franklin was the first person born in the Americas who became internationally celebrated for work in physical science. Although he has been most celebrated for his electrical experiments, he did far more, eventually making major contributions to no fewer than three areas of science, which we would now recognize as the fields of physics, oceanography, and demography. In all three fields, Franklin drew upon his American environment and experiences, though in significantly different ways in each case. Copies of "Benjamin Franklin: In Pursuit of Genius" will be available for review and purchase at the talk.

2/25/08 1:30 PM - CNST ELECTRON PHYSICS GROUP SEMINAR: Block-copolymer lithography for patterning perpendicular magnetic nano-islands
Templated block copolymer lithography is a powerful method of fabricating nanostructures which draws on the combined strengths of both top-down and bottom-up methods. This talk will discuss the fabrication and magnetic properties of ordered and disordered perpendicular CoCrPt magnetic islands in a range of sizes (5-15nm thick, 20-30nm diameter) fabricated by this method. Disordered patterns were obtained by annealing a thin spin-coated film of polystyrene-polyferrocenyldimethylsilane (PS-PFS) block copolymer. Ordered arrays were fabricated by a similar method, except the polymer was first templated using a removable topographic template. While topographical templates have previously been used to impose long-range order on block copolymer systems, their use results in residual surface relief on the substrate and therefore in the finished device, which is generally undesirable. To avoid this, a removable template may be used. The pattern can then be transferred into functional materials such as silica, W or magnetic films to make long-range-ordered dot arrays over planar substrates. In particular, magnetic islands fabricated by this method maintain their perpendicular magnetic anisotropy but show increased coercivity (800-1650 Oe) as compared to the unpatterned film (150 Oe). Since the islands are uniaxial and non-interacting (calculated nearest neighbor fields are 50 Oe, Hc), time-scale-dependent magnetic properties could be characterized using Sharrock's approach. The measurements show switching volumes (V*) on the order of the physical volume of the dots (~5000 nm3) suggesting that the dots switch their magnetization coherently and independently of each other. The advantages of this technique will be discussed for large-area self-assembled nanoscale pattern formation, and how it can be applied to the fabrication of various structures including patterned magnetic media, DNA sorting and detection devices or plasmon waveguides.

3/6/08 9:15 AM - CNST ELECTRON PHYSICS GROUP SEMINAR: The Estimation of Spin-penetration Depth in Ferromagnetic Metals
In the development of spintronics device like a MRAM, the spin-current-induced magnetic reversal is important, because it is expected to reduce the power consumption of device. The penetration depth of transverse component of spin-current is the distance the induced spin relax in ferromagnetic metals and it influence the behavior of spin-current-induced magnetic reversal. In this work, we report the experimental determination of the spin-penetration depth.

3/6/08 10:30 AM - CNST NANOTECHNOLOGY SEMINAR SERIES: Biomimetic Nanoscience: Challenges and Opportunities
The adaptive pressures displayed across the flora and fauna result in a variety of sophisticated nanostructured materials that are perfected to perform multiple biological functions. Our understanding of the underlying principles of their formation provides ample opportunities in the synthesis of next generation, bio-inspired, nanostructured materials. To date, there has been demonstrable progress in materials fabrication harnessing the functional power of biological systems. There is, however, a number of challenges related to the characterization of both biological and synthetic bio-related structures. I will exemplify this point by describing new synthetic strategies and devices that have been inspired by the study of two organisms – echinoderms and sponges. The topics will include self-assembly, control of crystallization, adaptive optical structures, fiber-optics, biomechanics, hybrid materials and novel actuation systems.

3/7/08 1:30 PM - CNST ELECTRON PHYSICS GROUP SEMINAR: "Revealing Magnetic Interactions From Single-Atom Magnetization Curves"
The ongoing miniaturization of magnetic devices towards the limit of single atoms calls for appropriate tools to study their magnetic properties. We demonstrate the ability to detect magnetization curves of individual magnetic atoms adsorbed on a metallic substrate using a scanning tunneling microscope with a spin-polarized tip. This enables to map tiny magnetic interactions on the atomic length scale which is evidenced by measuring the RKKY-like indirect exchange between a cobalt adatom and a cobalt nanowire on platinum(111). The method allows for future application to magnetic defects in semiconductors, in order to improve our understanding of diluted magnetic semiconductors. As a first step we will show our detailed investigation of the electronic structure of Mn acceptors in InAs.

3/19/08 8:00 AM - POLYMERS DIVISION SEMINAR: Workshop on the Directed Assembly of Functional Materials and Devices
Controlling the placement of nanoscale units into designed structures and patterns through directed assembly processes answers one of the grand challenges of nanotechnology. Innovative approaches using the directed assembly of nanoscale units are being developed to facilitate the nanofabrication of new materials and applications that can incorporate biological functionality, or devices such as flexible, large-area electronics devices. Directed assembly methods provide an opportunity to overcome limitations of traditional semiconductor processing; specifically, the small materials set with which to work, restriction to two dimensional patterning, and exorbitant equipment costs. Moving directed assembly from research demonstrations to viable manufacturing processes is difficult because it requires control over the simultaneous transport, placement, and interactions of a potentially large set of nanoscale units with different size, shape, and chemical functionality. New measurements and process control methods must be developed to enable successful implementation of this groundbreaking technology. This workshop will bring together leading researchers and stakeholders from industry, government, and academia that are actively engaged in research and development of the directed assembly of nanoparticles into functional materials and devices. Through invited presentations and focused discussions, the workshop will explore and identify the most pressing measurement and technological needs to advance directed assembly as a viable manufacturing method for future nanotechnology applications.
