AbstractEarly work with size-tunable periodic particle arrays (PPAs) fabricated by nanosphere lithography (NSL) demonstrated that the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) could be tuned throughout the visible region of the spectrum. Further developments of the NSL technique have produced a myriad of nanoparticle configurations. Presented in this paper are several array types and examples of their utility in current applications. Both the sensitivity and tunability of the LSPR have been firmly established using single layer PPAs. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) has been used to show that double layer PPAs act as single domain magnets and give strong MFM contrast. Angle-resolved NSL has produced nanogap and nano-overlap structures with manipulation resolution of one nanometer. Nanowell structures extend the original twodimensional structure into the third dimension. Exploitation of this flexible, materials-general NSL technique allows for investigation of the catalytic, electrochemical, magnetic, optical and thermodynamic properties of nanoparticles.

AbstractEarly work with size-tunable periodic particle arrays (PPAs) fabricated by nanospherelithography (NSL) demonstrated that the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) could be tuned throughout the visible region of the spectrum. The LSPR is sensitive to changes in nanoparticle aspect ratio and local dielectric environment. This property has recently been exploited to develop a novel method of measuring surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) excitation profiles. Single layer PPAs consist of size-tunable anisotropic nanoparticles that can be modified to exhibit anisotropic surface chemistry. This work demonstrates multiple schemes for PPA modification using self-assembled monolayers and colloid decoration. Nanoparticle anisotropy can be further exploited with the recent combination of NSL and reactive ion etching (RIE); this extends the two-dimensional PPA structure into the third dimension.

ABSTRACTWe have used Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) to study the magnetic domain structures of melt-spun Nd-Fe-B ribbons. The ribbons are commercial products (Magnequench International, Inc. MQP-B and MQP-B+) with a thickness of approximately 20 microns. These materials have identical composition, Nd12.18B5.36Fe76.99Co5.46, but differ in quenching conditions. In order to study the distribution of domain sizes through the ribbon thickness, we have prepared cross-sectional samples in epoxy mounts. In order to avoid artifacts due to tip-sample interactions, we have used high coercivity CoPt coated MFM tips. Our studies show domain sizes typically ranging from 50-200 nm in diameter. This is in agreement with studies of similar materials in which domains were investigated in the plane of the ribbon. We also find that these products differ substantially in mean domain size and in the uniformity of the domain sizes as measured across the ribbon. While the B+ material shows nearly uniform domain sizes throughout the cross section, the B material shows considerably larger domains on one surface, followed by a region in which the domains are smaller than average. This structure is presumably due to the differing quench conditions. The region of coarse domains varies in thickness, disappearing in some areas, and reaching a maximum thickness of 2.75 µm in others. We also describe bulk magnetic measurements, and suggest that.

Effects of magnetic material, coating thickness, and tip radius on magnetic force microscope (MFM) spatial resolution have been systematically investigated. MFM tips are prepared by using an UHV sputtering system by coating magnetic materials on non-magnetic Si tips employing targets of Ni, Ni-Fe, Co, Fe, Fe-B, and Fe-Pd. MFM spatial resolutions better than 9 nm have been confirmed by employing magnetic tips coated with high magnetic moment materials with optimized thicknesses.
