  1. Educational Outreach in Nanotechnology

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Charles David Evans

    In order to bridge the gap between the rapidly expanding field of nanotechnology and the general public, the LEGO Scanning Probe Microscope Team (LSPM) developed tutorials to bring nanotechnology to the masses.

  2. Carbon Nano Structures: A Web Based Animation Approach

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Tarun Janardhan Siripurapu

    Educational materials on carbon nano-tubes targeted primarily at elementary and middle school children are developed. They are to be incorporated as teaching aids for educators as part of continuing work on an EPICS project, LSPM – the Lego Scanning Probe Microscope.

  3. Understanding Carbon Nanotubes

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Christian Martinez

    Nanotechnology is a recent area which covers almost every educational field. Nowadays, most people are unaware of the benefits of nanotechnology. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are structures that are found and used in nanotechnology.

  4. Educating by Computer Animations One Method Proposed to Control Motion at the Nanoscale: How to Roll

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Manuel Emeric

    A student oriented approach for teaching was used to develop an explanation about the method to control motion at the nanoscale. The approach is focused on teaching all kind of people, no matter its previous knowledge about science.

  5. Memory : An Animated Approach to Education and Outreach

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Varun Sinha

    Nanoscale science and technology has great potential for changing our lives. Despite the far reaching implications, it remains an esoteric concept riddled with fear, uncertainty and doubt.

  6. Feasibility of Molecular Assemblers

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): LaDawn Biddle

    Molecular manufacturing is expected to be the Industrial Revolution of the 21st century. Essentially all mechanized products are anticipated to be improved with the use of molecular assemblers.

  7. Effects of Pre-Growth Catalyst Annealing on Carbon Nanotube Synthesis

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Aaron Franklin

    The inability to control the physical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) continues to hinder the manufacturability and applicability of CNT devices. The effect of pre-growth annealing on iron-based CNT catalysts prior to plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) CNT synthesis is...

  8. Spectroscopic Studies of Dye-Metal Complexes

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Starre Williams

    In the previous works concerning metal-molecule interactions interesting properties of a new spectral band in luminescence were observed. It was also shown in previous works that Ag-dye complexes placed in a micro-cavity provide multiplicative enhancement for luminescence and Raman scattering.

  9. Measurements of Interface Trap Density in MOS Capacitors Using AC Conductance Method

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Benafsha Shahlori

    4-H SiC MOS capacitors have a broad interface state density located at approximately 2.9eV above the valence band edge. These states reduce mobility through carrier trapping which in turn affects the electrical performance of these devices. The ac conductance technique is used to measure...

  10. Visualization of and Educational Tool for Quantum Dots

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Aaron Christensen, Adrian Rios

    Quantum dots (QDs) are confined structures made of metals and semiconductors that are capable of containing free electrons.The ability to visualize these small devices is advantageous in determining probable electron orbitals and in observing information not easily conceived in raw datasets.

  11. Quantum Dots Visualization Software using Electron Wave Function

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Patrick Macnamara, Laurie St. Ange

    The viewing of electron orbitals is a necessary element in the investigation of quantum dot structures as well as in their conceptualization. With an electron wave function superimposed over a crystalline quantum dot structure containing a million to three million atoms, we adapted the marching...

  12. Visualization of CNT FET Electrical Field Lines

    15 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Muriel Fort, Sameer Hamdan

    With transistors decreasing to nanometric dimensions, limits of current processing technologies are being reached. Many physical obstacles still need to be overcome to replace earlier silicon devices with Carbon NanoTube Field Effect Transistors (CNT FETs).

  15. Hydrodynamic Separation of Micron-sized Particles through Magnetization

    16 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Michael Benko

    Many assays and lab-on-a-chip projects require the use of uniform magnetic particles. Creating magnetic particles of uniform size and magnetization is a difficult task. The next best alternative is to make a distribution of particles and separate them.

  16. Self-Assembled Monolayer of DNA Microarrays

    16 Aug 2004 | Presentation Materials | Contributor(s): Joanny Tam

    Conductivity experiments with DNA have already been performed. With this in mind, we experimented using the charge transport of DNA to receive signals about detection of similar DNA sequences of another species through the linking of complementary ssDNA on chips; subsequently, these methods can...
