Size distribution, Young’s moduli and electrical resistivity are investigated for CuO nanowires synthesized by different thermal oxidation methods. Oxidation in dry and wet air were applied for synthesis both with and without an external electrical field. An increased yield of high aspect ratio nanowires with diameters below 100 nm is achieved by combining applied electric field and growth conditions with additional water vapour at the first stage of synthesis. Young’s moduli determined from resonance and bending experiments show similar diameter dependencies and increase above 200 GPa for nanowires with diameters narrower than 50 nm. The nanowires synthesized by simple thermal oxidation possess electrical resistivities about one order of magnitude lower than the nanowires synthesized by electric field assisted approach in wet air. The high aspect ratio, mechanical strength and robust electrical properties suggest CuO nanowires as promising candidates for NEMS actuators.

<p>Nanotubes assembled from macrocyclic precursors offer a unique combination of low dimensionality, structural rigidity, and distinct interior and exterior microenvironments. Usually the weak stacking energies of macrocycles limit the length or strength of the resultant nanotubes. Imine-linked macrocycles were recently found to assemble into high-aspect ratio (>10<sup>3</sup>), lyotropic nanotubes in the presence of excess acid. Yet these harsh conditions are incompatible with many functional groups and processing methods, and lower acid loadings instead catalyze macrocycle degradation. Here we report pyridine-2,6-diimine-linked macrocycles that assemble into high-aspect ratio nanotubes in the presence of less than 1 equiv of CF<sub>3</sub>CO<sub>2</sub>H per macrocycle. Analysis by gel permeation chromatography and fluorescence spectroscopy revealed a cooperative self-assembly mechanism. Nanofibers obtained by touch-spinning the pyridinium-based nanotubes exhibit Young’s moduli of 1.48 GPa, which exceeds that of many synthetic polymers and biological filaments. These findings will enable the design of structurally diverse nanotubes from synthetically accessible macrocycles. </p>

This paper reports on the controlled manipulation of high aspect ratio ferroelectric microtubes on pre-patterned templates by dielectrophoresis. Microtubes of ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT, a chemical formula of Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48 )O3) with an outer diameter of 2 ?m, a length of about 30 ?m and a wall thickness of 400 nm were prepared by vacuum infiltration method using macroporous silicon templates. To position and align tubes at designed places, an alternating electric field was applied to a colloidal suspension of PZT tubes through lithographically defined microelectrodes. This would enable creation of a stable electrical connection to individual tubes for making a testing structure for rapid electrical characterization. Electric-field assisted assembly experiments demonstrated that the frequency and magnitude of the applied electric field control dielectrophoretic long-range forces, and hence spatial movement of the tubes in a non-uniform electric field. The most efficient biasing for the assembly of tubes across the electrode gap of 12 ?m was a square wave signal of 5 Vrms and 10 Hz. By varying the applied frequency in between 1 and 10 Hz, an enhancement in tube alignment was observed due to possible changes in dielectrophoretic torque. The results indicate a great potential for utilizing dielectrophoresis in construction of more complex, hierarchical 3-D device structures using the PZT 1-D like tubes as the building units.

AbstractMaskless dry etching of Mn-Zn ferrite in dich1orodif1uoromethane (CC12F2) by Ar+-ion laser (514.5 nm-line) irradiation has been investigated to obtain high etching rates and aspect-ratios of etched grooves. The etching reaction was found to be thermochemical and caused by Cl radicals thermally decomposed from CCl2F2 gas. High etching rates of up to 360 μm/s, which is about one order of magnitude higher than that in a CCl4 gas and even higher than that in a H3PO4 solution, have been achieved. A high aspect-ratio of up to 12 was obtained. Definite gas pressure and dwell time are necessary to fabricate a smooth groove.
