In this article, we present the pick-and-place technique for the manipulation of single nanoparticles on non-conductive substrates using a tungsten tip irradiated by a focused electron beam from a scanning electron microscope. The developed technique allowed us to perform the precise transfer of single BaTiO3 nanoparticles from one substrate to another in order to carry out measurements of elastic light scattering as well as second harmonic generation. Also, we demonstrate a fabricated structure made by finely tuning the position of a BaTiO3 nanoparticle on top of a dielectric nanowaveguide deposited on a glass substrate. The presented technique is based on the electrostatic interaction between the sharp tungsten tip charged by the electron beam and the nanoscale object. A mechanism for nanoparticle transfer to a non-conductive substrate is proposed and the forces involved in the manipulation process are evaluated. The presented technique can be widely utilized for the fabrication of nanoscale structures on optically transparent non-conductive substrates, which presents a wide range of applications for nanophotonics.

A color coded digital image processing is accomplished by using JEM100CX TEM SCAN and ORTEC’s LSI-11 computer based multi-channel analyzer (EEDS-II-System III) for image analysis and display. Color coding of the recorded image enables enhanced visualization of the image using mathematical techniques such as compression, gray scale expansion, gamma-processing, filtering, etc., without subjecting the sample to further electron beam irradiation once images have been stored in the memory.The powerful combination between a scanning electron microscope and computer is starting to be widely used 1) - 4) for the purpose of image processing and particle analysis. Especially, in scanning electron microscopy it is possible to get all information resulting from the interactions between the electron beam and specimen materials, by using different detectors for signals such as secondary electron, backscattered electrons, elastic scattered electrons, inelastic scattered electrons, un-scattered electrons, X-rays, etc., each of which contains specific information arising from their physical origin, study of a wide range of effects becomes possible.

Optical frequency comb synthesizers with a wide spectral range are an essential tool for many research areas such as spectroscopy, precision metrology, optical communication, and sensing. Recent studies have demonstrated the direct generation of frequency combs, via second-order processes, that are centered on two different spectral regions separated by an octave. Here, we present the capability of optical quadratic frequency combs for broad-bandwidth spectral emission in unexplored regimes. We consider comb formation under phase-matched conditions in a continuous-wave pumped singly resonant second-harmonic cavity, with large intracavity power and control of the detuning over several cavity line widths. The spectral analysis reveals quite distinctive sidebands that arise far away from the pump, singularly or in a mixed regime together with narrowband frequency combs. Notably, by increasing the input power, the optical frequency lines evolve into widely spaced frequency clusters, and at maximum power, they appear in a wavelength range spanning up to 100 nm. The obtained results demonstrate the power of second-order nonlinearities for direct comb production within a wide range of pump wavelengths.

Viruses are among the most intriguing nanostructures found in nature. Their atomically precise shapes and unique biological properties, especially in protecting and transferring genetic information, have enabled a plethora of biomedical applications. On the other hand, structural DNA nanotechnology has recently emerged as a highly useful tool to create programmable nanoscale structures. They can be extended to user defined devices to exhibit a wide range of static, as well as dynamic functions. In this review, we feature the recent development of virus-DNA hybrid materials. Such structures exhibit the best features of both worlds by combining the biological properties of viruses with the highly controlled assembly properties of DNA. We present how the DNA shapes can act as “structured” genomic material and direct the formation of virus capsid proteins or be encapsulated inside symmetrical capsids. Tobacco mosaic virus-DNA hybrids are discussed as the examples of dynamic systems and directed formation of conjugates. Finally, we highlight virus-mimicking approaches based on lipid- and protein-coated DNA structures that may elicit enhanced stability, immunocompatibility and delivery properties. This development also paves the way for DNA-based vaccines as the programmable nano-objects can be used for controlling immune cell activation.

An investigation of the sensitivity of a geometrical scaling technique on the blade forcing prediction and mode excitability has been performed. A stage of a transonic compressor is employed as test object. A scaling ratio is defined which indicates the amount of scaling from the original geometry. Different scaling ratios are selected and 3D Navier Stokes unsteady calculations completed for each scaled configuration. A full annulus calculation (non-scaled) is performed serving as reference. The quantity of interest is the generalized force, which gives a direct indication of the mode excitability. In order to capture both up- and downstream excitation effects the mode excitability has been assessed on both rotor and stator blades. The results show that first harmonic excitation can be predicted well for both up- and downstream excitation using moderate amount of scaling. On the other hand, the predictions of second harmonic quantities do show a higher sensitivity to scaling for the investigated test case.

ABSTRACTElectron beam surface melting has been used to study Al-Mn and Al-Mn-Si alloys subjected to a wide range of solidification conditions. Several of the reported equilibrium intermetallic phases are not found even at moderate growth rates. Beyond a composition-dependent critical velocity the equilibrium phases are all replaced by the quasicrystalline icosahedral and decagonal (T) phases. The icosahedral phase is favored over the T phase by higher solidification velocities. The addition of Si to Al-Mn alloys eliminates the T phase, but does not significantly facilitate the formation of the icosahedral phase by electron beam melting because the ternary α and β phases of Al-Mn-Si are able to grow rapidly into the electron beam melts.

DNA aptamers have the ability to bind to target molecules with high selectivity and therefore have a wide range of clinical applications. Herein, a graphene substrate functionalized with a DNA aptamer is used to sense immunoglobulin E. The graphene serves as the conductive substrate in this field-effect-transistor-like (FET-like) structure. A voltage probe in an electrolyte is used to sense the presence of IgE as a result of the changes in the charge distribution that occur when an IgE molecule binds to the IgE DNA-based aptamer. Because IgE is an antibody associated with allergic reactions and immune deficiency-related diseases, its detection is of utmost importance for biomedical applications.

This chapter argues that drinking things are of central importance to our understanding of the long relationship between humans and alcohol. It explores the history of the English man (and woman’s) pint of beer, as an object, a drink, and a measure, from the late-sixteenth to the twenty-first century, to show how the relationships between objects, drinks, and measures have been socially and culturally constructed over time. Drawing upon a wide range of objects, images, and textual sources, and benefiting from the theoretical lenses of material performativity and praxeology, it argues that material insights not only help us to understand the deeper cultural processes at play in the routines and rituals of convivial drinking, but also help us to understand their wider role in social and political change.
