Highlighted Research

Lithography mask thermal and stress effect for the machine overlay compensation

As integrated-circuit technology advances, increasing chip density requires progressively tighter control of critical dimensions and overlay errors. Near-field methods such as nanoimprint and plasmonic lithography have developed rapidly, but systematic solutions for correcting their overlay remain limited.

Room-temperature nanostructured PbSe/CdSe mid-infrared photodetector: Annealing effects

The study presents a room-temperature mid-wave infrared photoconductor made from nanostructured PbSe/CdSe on a commercial SiO₂/Si(100) wafer. Vapor-phase deposition followed by oxygen annealing creates connected nanostructures that support photogenerated-carrier transport and passivate material defects.

Machine learning driven measurement of high-aspect-ratio nanostructures using Mueller matrix spectroscopic ellipsometry

Precise fabrication of high-aspect-ratio structures is essential in applications ranging from semiconductor devices to x-ray observatories because their performance depends directly on geometry. Critical-angle transmission gratings achieve efficient, high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy only when parameters such as etch-induced bar tilt are tightly controlled.

Photonic crystal band edge coupled enhanced fluorescence from magneto-plasmonic cryosoret nano-assemblies for ultra-sensitive detection

Photonic-crystal substrates can increase the emission intensity of fluorescent labels used to detect disease biomarkers. Incorporating plasmonic nanomaterials may improve performance further, but resistive losses in those materials still limit the attainable fluorescence enhancement.

Boron nitride nanosheets, quantum dots, and dots: Synthesis, properties, and biomedical applications

This review examines the properties, synthesis methods, and biomedical uses of hexagonal boron nitride nanomaterials. It focuses on boron nitride nanosheets, fluorescent quantum dots, and nonfluorescent wide-bandgap dots, which differ primarily in their dimensions and optical behavior.

A review of magnetic nanoparticles used in nanomedicine

Magnetic nanoparticles can be manipulated using external fields and are compatible with biological systems, making them versatile tools for medical applications. The recent convergence of nanotechnology with biomedical science, pharmacology, and clinical practice has helped establish nanomedicine as a distinct field.

Laser melting, evaporation, and fragmentation of nanoparticles: Experiments, modeling, and applications

The review surveys laser-induced heating, melting, evaporation, fragmentation, and breakdown of metal nanoparticles, along with the threshold laser conditions that initiate them. It analyzes experimental findings for gold, silver, and other nanoparticles, including surface melting and evaporation as well as ultrashort-pulse Coulomb fragmentation.

Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor based on a graphene-carbon nanotube-polydimethylsiloxane composite

Flexible sensors are widely used in wearable devices, particularly piezoresistive sensors because they are relatively straightforward to operate. To avoid costly and complicated fabrication, the study proposes a simpler device made by replicating sandpaper microstructures and coating them with graphene- and carbon-nanotube-loaded polydimethylsiloxane.

Microwave biosensors utilizing metamaterial enhancement: Design and application

Microwave sensing is increasingly used for medical diagnosis, biological monitoring, and environmental alerts. The introduction of metamaterials has recently created new opportunities for improving microwave biosensors.
