Atomic Fresnel images and possible applications in atom lithography
In the near field regime of diffractive atom optics, amplitude corrugations of the de Broglie wave front are important and can lead to interesting effects. One class of near field phenomena is the formation of Fresnel images. We study this effect and possible applications in atom lithography using wave packet simulations. Diffraction of atoms most clearly demonstrates the ultimate wave characte...
متن کاملResonant Laser Manipulation of an Atomic Beam
Theories for laser-atom interactions have been under development since the advent of laser technology. The theories have yet to be adequately integrated into kinetic flow solvers. Realizing this integration would greatly enhance the scaling of laser-species interactions beyond the realm of ultra-cold atomic physics. A representative numerical investigation was conducted using a custom collision...
متن کاملSelf-assembled monolayers exposed by metastable argon and metastable helium for neutral atom lithography and atomic beam imaging
We used a beam of noble gas atoms in a metast i ib le xci ted state to expose a th in (1.5 nm) self-assembled monolayer esist applied over a gold-coated sil icon waf'er. We determined exposure damage as a function of dose of metastable atoms by processing the samples in a wet-chemical etch to remove the -cold from unprotected regions and then measuring the reflectir ity with a laser and observi...
متن کاملResolution limits of electron-beam lithography toward the atomic scale.
We investigated electron-beam lithography with an aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope. We achieved 2 nm isolated feature size and 5 nm half-pitch in hydrogen silsesquioxane resist. We also analyzed the resolution limits of this technique by measuring the point-spread function at 200 keV. Furthermore, we measured the energy loss in the resist using electron-energy-loss...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy as a tool for atom manipulation.
During the past 20 years, the manipulation of atoms and molecules at surfaces has allowed the construction and characterization of model systems that could, potentially, act as building blocks for future nanoscale devices. The majority of these experiments were performed with scanning tunnelling microscopy at cryogenic temperatures. Recently, it has been shown that another scanning probe techni...
