Laser Fabricates Silver Dots in a Polymer Matrix
A team at Harvard University (U.S.A.) has developed a fabrication process that enables the creation of nanostructures patterned in 3-D.
Harvard graduate student Kevin Vora examines a sample in the lab. Vora and colleagues in professor Eric Mazur’s group developed a fabrication process that enables the creation of nanostructures patterned in 3-D.
Scientists have made great strides in femtosecond (fs) direct laser writing to make nanoscale patterns of dielectric media, such as glasses and polymers. Now a team at Harvard University (U.S.A.) has extended the fabrication technique to create arrays of silver nanodots in a firm polymer matrix (Appl. Phys. Lett. 100, 063120).
