Femtosecond Laser Direct-Write Plasmonic Nanolithography in Dielectrics. [PDF]
Plasmon‐based devices have founded numerous applications in photonics based on optically excited strong near‐field effect at nanoscale. So far, the large‐area fabrication of periodic plasmonic nanostructures is still challenging due to a small write ...

Enhancing the efficiency of high-order harmonics with two-color non-collinear wave mixing in silica [PDF]
The emission of high-order harmonics from solids under intense laser-pulse irradiation is revolutionizing our understanding of strong-field solid-light interactions, while simultaneously opening avenues towards novel, all-solid, coherent, short ...

Atomic force microscope nanolithography of graphene: cuts, pseudo-cuts and tip current measurements [PDF]
We investigate atomic force microscope nanolithography of single and bilayer graphene. In situ tip current measurements show that cutting of graphene is not current driven. Using a combination of transport measurements and scanning electron microscopy we show that, while indentations accompanied by tip current appear in the graphene lattice for a range

Electron transport in bilayer graphene nano constrictions patterned using AFM nanolithography. [PDF]
Here we report on low temperature transport measurements of encapsulated bilayer graphene nano constrictions fabricated employing electrode-free AFM-based local anodic oxidation (LAO) nanolithography. This technique allows for the creation of constrictions as narrow as 20 nm much smaller than previous studies.

Understanding photoacoustic signal formation in the presence of transparent thin films [PDF]
Strain-induced variation of the refractive index is the main mechanism of strain detection in photoacoustic experiments. However, weak strain-optic coupling in many materials limits the application of photoacoustics as an imaging tool.

Controllable patterning and CVD growth of isolated carbon nanotubes with direct parallel writing of catalyst using Dip Pen Nanolithography [PDF]
We report a process to fabricate carbon nanotubes (CNT) by chemical vapor deposition at predetermined location. This process was enabled by patterning catalyst nanoparticles directly on silicon substrates with nanometer-scale precision using Dip Pen Nanolithography(R) (DPN(R)).
