From this field study, nanoparticles smaller than 30 nm in diameter were dominantly observed. One event showing high particle number concentration that was approximately seven times higher than background level was also detected for a short period. Therefore, it is recommended to install a reduction measure for safe workplace environment.","PeriodicalId":254587,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127104690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current applications are dominated by portable device backlighting, e.g. cell phones, PDAs, GPS, laptop etc. In order to open the general lighting market doors the luminous efficiency needs to be improved significantly. Photonic crystal (PhC) structures in LEDs have been demonstrated to enhance light extraction efficiency on the wafer level by researchers [2]. However, there is still a great challenge to fabricate PhC structures on LED wafers cost-effectively. Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is one promising technology for manufacturing of electronic devices of low nm scale. However, the current NIL techniques with rigid stamps rely strongly on the substrate flatness and the production atmosphere. UV-NIL with flexible stamps, e.g. PDMS stamps, allows the large-area imprint in a single step and is less-sensitive to the production atmosphere. Unfortunately, the resolution is normally limited due to stamp distortion caused by imprint pressure. The NIL technique developed by Philips Research and SUSS MicroTec, substrate conformal imprint lithography (SCIL), bridges the gap between UV-NIL with rigid stamp for best resolution and soft stamp for large-area patterning.","PeriodicalId":254587,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130570138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work TiO2 nanoparticle-nanofiber composite networks were generated, and the formation of unique fiber-pore structures was characterized and elucidated. The results demonstrated that enhancement in light-scattering by formation of the fiber-pore structures increased the efficiency of NP-NF composite DSSCs by 10% relative to conventional electrodes.

In this method, the sample is scanned in a spiral pattern instead of the well established raster trajectory. A spiral pattern is produced by applying cosine and sine signals with slowly varying amplitudes to the x-axis and y-axis of an AFM scanner respectively. In order to ensure that the spiral trajectory travels at a constant linear velocity (CLV), frequency and amplitude of the input signals are varied simultaneously in a way that the linear velocity of the scanner is kept constant. Experimental results obtained by implementing the CLV spiral scan on a commercial AFM indicate that, compared with the raster-scan method, high-quality AFM images of equal area and pitch can be generated two times faster and using half of the total traveled distance.","PeriodicalId":254587,"journal":{"name":"10th IEEE International Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133978977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
