Enhancing the efficiency of high-order harmonics with two-color non-collinear wave mixing in silica

Nature Communications
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 ...

3D Polymeric Nanonetworks: From Self‐Assembly to Advanced Fabrication

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review provides the first systematic cross‐method comparison of fabrication techniques for 3D polymeric nanonetworks. It evaluates five key strategies—block copolymer self‐assembly, hyper‐crosslinking, template‐assisted methods, 3D printing, and nanolithography—across critical metrics including resolution, throughput, scalability, and material ...

Phase Mask Pinholes as Spatial Filters for Laser Interference Lithography

Advanced Photonics Research, 2023
Laser resonators have outputs with Gaussian spatial beam profiles. In laser interference lithography (LIL), using such Gaussian‐shaped beams leads to an inhomogeneous exposure of the substrate. As a result, dimensions of lithography‐defined features vary

Automated Photothermal Control of Block Copolymer Self‑Assembly and Metal Oxide Nanostructures Sintering

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This study presents a microscope‐based photothermal platform that integrates structured laser light projection with machine‐learning‐optimized illumination. By employing neural‐network models to predict and generate thermal profiles, the platform achieves precise thermal processing of block copolymer films.

Twin‐compartment solid–liquid cells for neutron reflectometry

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
We introduce a twin‐compartment solid–liquid cell for neutron reflectometry that divides a single substrate into two independent measurement areas, doubling sample capacity and enabling direct side‐by‐side comparisons. This sample environment also reduces alignment and sample preparation time and has been successfully tested on both vertical and ...

Cryogenic Focused Ion Beam Milling to Investigate the Anisotropic Magnetotransport Properties of Bismuth Microcrystals

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
The highly anisotropic Fermi surface of bismuth results in variations in magnetotransport properties across different crystallographic directions, which can be characterized by studying microcrystals. To avoid the observed surface melting under room temperature Focused Ion Beam (FIB) irradiation, two low‐temperature FIB fabrication methods are proposed

The atomic force microscope as a mechano–electrochemical pen

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2011
We demonstrate a method that allows the controlled writing of metallic patterns on the nanometer scale using the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) as a “mechano–electrochemical pen”.

Nanolithography: Status and challenges [PDF]

2017 23rd International Conference on Automation and Computing (ICAC), 2017
With the help of immersion lithography and multiple patterning, photolithography has been the key technology over the last decade in manufacturing of ICs, microchips and MEMS devices. Continuous rapid shrinking of feature size made the authorities to seek alternative patterning methods that can go beyond classic photographic limits.
