However, the diffractive nature of light has limited the continuous advance of optical lithography resolution
To overcome this obstacle, near-field scanning optical lithography (NSOL) is an alternative low-cost technique, whose resolution is determined by the near-field localization that can be achieved. Here, we apply the newly-developed backside milling method to fabricate bowtie apertures with a sub-15 nm gap, which can substantially improve the resolution of NSOL. A highly confined electric near field is produced by localized surface plasmon excitation and nanofocusing of the closely-tapered gap. We show contact lithography results with a record 16 nm resolution (FWHM). This photolithography scheme promises potential applications in data storage, high-speed computation, energy harvesting, and other nanotechnology areas.Actuation of digital micro drops by electrowetting on open microfluidic chips Ko H, Lee JS, Jung CH, Choi JH, Kwon OS, Shin K.

Basic manipulations of discrete liquid drops on opened microfluidic chips based on electrowetting on dielectrics were described. While most developed microfluidic chips are closed systems equipped with a top plate to cover mechanically and to contact electrically to drop samples, our chips are opened systems with a single plate without any electric contact to drops directly. The chips consist of a linear array of patterned electrodes at 1 mm pitch was fabricated on a glass plate coated with thin hydrophobic and dielectric layers by using various methods including photolithography, spin coating and ion sputtering. Several actuations such as lateral oscillation, colliding mergence and translational motion for 3-10 μL water drops have been demonstrated satisfactory. All these kinetic performances of opened chips were similar to those of closed chip systems, indicating superiority of a none-contact method for the transport of drops on opened microfluidic chips actuated by using spacer for magnetic random access memory application.technique for fabricating large area high density nanoscale magnetic rings by photolithography for magnetic random access memory applications. Characterization and Spectroscopic Analysis of 6-butyl-n-hydroxynaphthimide trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and a low temperature ALD process were utilized to simplify the process.

nanostructure dimension control. A ring array with density and dimensions below the limits for photolithography tools has been achieved. The magnetic behavior of the ring array was characterized using a SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device). The switching distribution and effects of interaction among ring arrays were studied by correlating simulation with experimental Ruthenium(0) nanoclusters supported on hydroxyapatite: highly active, reusable and green catalyst in the hydrogenation of aromatics under mild conditions with The preparation of ruthenium(0) nanoclusters supported on hydroxyapatite and their characterization by a combination of complementary techniques are described. The resultant ruthenium(0) nanoclusters provide high activity and reusability in the complete hydrogenation of aromatics under mild conditions (at Both [2+2] and [2+4] additions of inert aromatics via identical ternary Tokyo and CREST, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), 7-3-1 Hongo, A self-assembled coordination cage enables inert aromatics to undergo both [2+2] and [2+4] cycloadditions by encapsulating them within the cavity. Aceanthrylene reacts with a maleimide derivative under thermal and photo-irradiation conditions to give a product as a single regio- and stereoisomer.Aromaticity-controlled tautomerism and resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding in heterocyclic enaminone-iminoenol systems.

The contribution of aromaticity and intramolecular hydrogen bonding to relative stability, for a set of (1H-azahetero-2-ylidene)-acetaldehyde and 2-azahetero-2-yl-ethanol tautomeric pairs, has been investigated by means of quantum chemical DFT and ab initio methods up to the MP4(SDTQ)/AUG-cc-pVDZ and MP2/AUG-cc-pVTZ levels of theory. It is found that the relative energy of the tautomers is governed by the change in the degree of heterocycle aromaticity upon intramolecular hydrogen transfer. An analysis of geometrical parameters of a hydrogen-bonded system reveals a clear relationship between the aromaticity of the heterocycle, the conjugation in a resonant spacer, and the strengths of the intramolecular hydrogen bonds. This allows the conclusion to be drawn that intramolecular N-H...O and O-H.

..N hydrogen bonds formed are found to be resonance-assisted and their strength is dependent on the pi-donating/accepting properties of the heterocycle. On the basis of the results of the calculations, a simple model describing the mechanism of resonance assistance of hydrogen The poly-thymine based DNA photolithography onto electrostatic coupling In order to develop a rapid and high fidelity process for DNA self-assembly with patterning, the pattern of thymine dimerization is presented onto electrostatically bound DNA substrate by photolithography. The ability of binding for the process, which is attenuated conditions such as contact with photomask and washing by solution buffer is evaluated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Through thymine dimerization and hybridization chain reaction (HCR), DNA patterns, including multi-patterns, are demonstrated.
