Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) is a nanofabrication technique that can be used to directly
write molecular patterns on substrates with high resolution and registration. Over the past …

As a powerful atomic force microscopy-based nanotechnological tool, dip-pen
nanolithography (DPN) has provided an ideal direct-write “constructive” lithographic tool that …

Metamaterials are a promising new class of materials, in which sub-wavelength physical
structures, rather than variations in chemical composition, can be used to modify the nature …

Understanding how ink transfers to a surface in dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) is crucial for
designing new ink materials and developing the processes to pattern them. Herein, we …

Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) and Polymer pen lithography (PPL) are powerful
lithography techniques being able to pattern a wide range of inks. Transport and surface …

Despite diverse applications, phospholipid membrane stacks generated by dip-pen
nanolithography (DPN) still lack a thorough and systematic characterization that elucidates …

The blade tip region encounters high thermal loads because of the hot gas leakage flows,
and it must therefore be cooled to ensure a long durability and safe operation. A common …

Feature size predictions in dip pen nanolithography are typically based upon the constant
transport rate or the constant tip− concentration approximations. Models based upon these …

The ability to create micro-/nanopatterns of organic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on
semiconductor surfaces is crucial for fundamental studies and applications in a number of …

Application of atomic force microscopes (AFMs) in production processes for nanometrology
and nanomanufacturing is still hampered by the slow operation speed, by the low level of …
