    NANO WORLD

    What is Nanotechnology?

    The science, engineering, and technology conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100
    nanometers (NNI, 2017)

    A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, or 10-9 of a meter.

    The concepts of nanotechnology and nanoscience started in December 29,1959 by Physicist Richard
    Feynman

    The term “nanotechnology” was coined by Professor Norio Taniguchi

    How to View Nanomaterials?

    1) Electron Microscope
    German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll built the first electron microscope during the
    1930s.
    - can magnify objects up to a million times

    Two General Types:


    a) Scanning electron microscope (SEM)
    b) Transmission electron microscope (TEM)

    2) Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)


    First developed by Gerd Binig, Calvin Quate, and Christoph Gerber in 1986
    - makes use of a mechanical probe that gathers information from the surface of a material

    3) Scanning Tunneling Microscope


    Enables scientists to view and manipulate nanoscale particles, atoms, and small molecules
    Gerd Binig and Heinrich Rohrer won the Nobel Prize in Physics because of this invention in 1986

    Nanomanufacturing

    Scaled-up, reliable, and cost-effective manufacturing of nanoscale materials, structures, devices, and
    systems

    Involves research, improvement, and incorporation of processes for the construction of materials
    Two fundamental approaches:

    1) Bottom-up Fabrication

    - manufactures products by building them up from atomic- and molecular-scale

    components

    2) Top-down Fabrication

    - trims down large pieces of materials into nanoscale

    New Approaches to the Assembly of Nanomaterials:

    1)Tip pen lithography

    - tip of an atomic force microscope is “dipped” into a chemical fluid and then utilized to “write”

    on a surface

    2) Self-assembly

    - depicts an approach wherein a set of components join together to mold an organized structure

    in the absence of an outside direction

    3) Chemical vapor deposition

    - a procedure wherein chemicals act in response to form very pure, high-performance films

    4) Nanoimprint lithography

    - a method of generating nanoscale attributes by “stamping” or “printing” them onto a surface

    5) Molecular beam epitaxy

    - depositing extremely controlled thin films

    6) Roll-to-roll processing

    - a high-volume practice for constructing nanoscale devices on a roll of ultrathin plastic or metal

    7) Atomic layer epitaxy

    - a means for laying down one-atom-thick layers on a surface
