Designing nanostructures for new functional materials

conference paper

English

High demands on materials performance, particularly for functional applications in miniaturized systems, have brought revolutionary changes in materials synthesis, processing, and fabrication concepts. Recent advances have demonstrated that materials with nanometer scale structures can be successfully designed at the atomic and molecular levels to exhibit unique properties by using many methods. Improved and unexpected properties of these materials have an impact on a wide spectrum of phenomena including superconduction, magnetism, quantum electronics, non-linear optics, cluster stability, and nucleation and growth. Concurrent with innovative processing and fabrication, new characterization tools such as scanning tunneling microscopy, atomic force microscopy, magnetic force microscopy, and scanning near-field optical microscopy have revolutionized our understanding of interatomic interactions and structures of atomic and molecular self-organization. Selected observations of recent studies in this emerging field will be presented with recommendations for future research.
