There is considerable dependence of light scattering on intracellular morphology, which is especially apparent when obtaining measurements over large ranges of scattering angle. We propose a device for the simultaneous imaging of scattered light over a wide angular range. If introduced in clinical procedures for diagnostics and therapeutics, the device has the potential of rapidly identifying in one single test the morphological condition of the cell. We developed a technique that allows adequate contrast between variations in scattering intensity at various angles. Details related to the principles of the method, design of the device, as well as experimental data will be presented at the conference.","PeriodicalId":408575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127732300","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}

For the first time, the process of formation of CdS nano-particles within LB films was monitored in-situ with SPR. The results of ellipsometry, SPR and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy were analysed to evaluate simultaneously the thickness, refractive index and extinction coefficient of LB films. It was shown that all three parameters increase as a result of formation of CdS nano-particles. Photoluminecsence measurements confirmed directly the blue spectral shift caused by CdS particles formation, a fact previously observed with UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. A large Stock's shift of the luminescence band can be related to the formation of \"dark excitons\" in the pallet-type CdS nano-clusters.","PeriodicalId":408575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126795490","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}

These NEMS are built from various nanoscale structures, devices and subsystems. Complex nanodevices can be devised and designed through biomimetics. Living organisms and systems, which consist of atoms, molecules, molecular structures and molecular systems can be examined and prototyped using the corresponding theories. The ability of organisms to function in a particular way depends on the presence, absence, concentration, location, interaction, and architectures of integrated structures, components and systems. Bioelectromechanics and bioelectronics are the synergy of science, engineering and technology to compliment and enhance fundamental research and applied developments in complex nano- and microscale systems. For example, one can apply complex biological patents and processes to devise and fabricate nanomachines. Biomimicking can be performed in researching structures, architectures and biological materials of biomolecules, cells, tissues, membranes, biomotors, biosystems, etc. This paper aims to provide a focused study of bioelectromechanics, which is a far-reaching frontier of modern science and engineering. The results are illustrated by devising high-performance transducers (actuators and sensors) via synthesis of novel topologies which are discovered when prototyping bionanomotors.","PeriodicalId":408575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115632855","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}

These thin-film-based actuators/sensors are uniquely suitable for mini air vehicles, missiles, and interceptors. We use multi-layered microactuators (fabricated using thin-film technology) to displace and change the geometry of control surfaces. These thin-film actuators/sensors (transducers) are integrated as the large-scale arrays. Furthermore, nano- and microscale transducers should be controlled changing the applied voltage supplied to each actuator or measuring the voltage induced by each sensor. The major objective of this paper is to report fundamental and applied research in modeling, analysis and design of flight surfaces with thin-film-based actuator-sensor arrays controlled by hierarchically distributed systems. We demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the application of smart flight surfaces for coordinated longitudinal and lateral vehicle control (pitch, roll, and yaw moments are developed deflecting and changing the geometry of control surfaces). Active aerodynamic flow control can be achieved in order to reduce the drag.","PeriodicalId":408575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130384502","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}

Using porous Si with a typical pore size of a few nanometers three dimensional shapes can be formed. The shape of the structures is provided by an anodisation process in which crystalline Si is transformed to nanoporous Si. Control of the local depth of the 3D structures is achieved by appropriate 2D masking structures and the resulting current density distribution. Thus the process allows the transfer of a 2D pattern into a 3D structure in a single step. Subsequent electro-polishing provides optically smooth surfaces of the etched structures which makes this technique interesting for micromold applications e.g. for the fabrication of optical elements.","PeriodicalId":408575,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125330658","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}
