The field of chiral inorganic nanostructures is rapidly expanding. It started from the
observation of strong circular dichroism during the synthesis of individual nanoparticles …

The ability to control light direction with tailored precision via facile means is long‐desired in
science and industry. With the advances in optics, a periodic structure called diffraction …

Nanoscience includes the study of objects and systems in which at least one dimension is 1-
100 nm. The objects studied in this range of sizes are larger than atoms and small …

Elastomeric stamps and molds provide a great opportunity to eliminate some of the
disadvantages of photolithograpy, which is currently the leading technology for fabricating …

The structural phases and the growth of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are reviewed
from a surface science perspective, with emphasis on simple model systems. The concept of …

We removed∼ 100% of clathrated oxygen ions from the crystallographic cages in a single
crystal of 12CaO· 7Al2O3, leading to the formation of high-density (∼ 2× 1021 cm–3) …

An important requirement in the fabrication of advanced inorganic materials, such as
ceramics and semiconductors, is control over crystallization,,,. In principle, the synthetic …

All optical fabrication of Surface Relief Grating (SRG) on azobenzene functionalized polymer
films is reviewed in this article. The uniqueness of the single step erasable photofabrication …

Solar cells prepared using the alternating copolymer shown in the Figure blended with a
C60 derivative (PCBM) are demonstrated to have a high performance, with a power …

Liquid crystals (LCs) were used to amplify and transduce receptor-mediated binding of
proteins at surfaces into optical outputs. Spontaneously organized surfaces were designed …
