AbstractThe rolling of lipid bilayer sheets into hollow cylindrical tubules have emerged as a group of interesting supramolecular nanostructures. Here, we image the self-assembled tubules of 1,2-bis(tricosa-10,12-diynoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphochloline (DC8,9PC) with atomic force microscopy. Nanoscale ripple structures with a periodicity of ~ 200nm in the cylindrical lipid tubules are observed. We develop two simple methods based on microfluidic networks and surface patterning to produce two dimensional ordered arrays of parallel aligned lipid tubules on substrates.

We investigated self-assembly such as hexamerization and two-dimensional crystallization of immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecules on mica by atomic force microscopy. We also estimated the association rate constant of the self-assembled IgG antibodies.

AbstractWe have followed by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) the epitaxial growth of InAs on GaAs(001) starting from the initial formation of a strained two-dimensional wetting layer up to the self-assembled nucleation and growth of 3D nanoparticles. In this work we underline many aspects of the morphology of this system, which substantiate the role either of kinetics on thermodynamics in the process of growth as well as the role of surface instabilities in controlling lateral ordering of the nanoaggregates.

AbstractThe nanopatterning of Si/SiGe layers by PFOTS (perfluorooctyl trichlorosilane) -aided AFM (atomic force microscopy) lithography is demonstrated. We use self-assembled PFOTS monolayers as a resist for AFM exposure and then transfer patterns in to underlying SiGe layers by a two-step selective wet etching. Linewidths well under 100nm can be achieved with improved uniformity and repeatability compared to AFM lithography without PFOTS. This lithography technique was used to pattern the carrier supply layer in Si/SiGe 2-D hole gases to localize holes for epitaxially passivated quantum dot applications.
