Extractions: Nanotechnology Image of single atomic zig-zag chain of Cs atoms (red) on the GaAs(110) surface. Image of substitutional Cr impurities (small bumps) in the Fe(001) surface. Within the NIST Physics Laboratory, the principal scientific efforts in nanotechnology are being carried out within the Electron and Optical Physics Division and the Quantum Physics Division . The work of these two groups is focused on developing a detailed understanding of the fundamental physical properties of nanometer-scale materials, and the technical challenges that must be overcome in order to synthesize useful quantities of nanomaterials and nanodevices for practical, industrial-scale applications. Infrared (left) and topographic (right) images of a photoresist sample for two different infrared wavelengths (2.8 µm top, 2.95 µm bottom). The different contrast observed for the two wavelengths demonstrates chemical specificity.

Extractions: JILA is an institute for interdisciplinary research and graduate education in the physical sciences, operated jointly by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Colorado at Boulder, and involving NIST Quantum Physics Division 848 researchers. These NIST scientists participate in a variety of nanotechnology activities, several of which are summarized here. The drive toward both ever-smaller integrated circuits, new materials, biosensors, and improved control of catalysis relies on quantitative and innovative measurements of both surface and materials properties. To measure these properties, NIST Quantum Physics Division researchers have pooled their expertise in chemical physics, lasers, materials, and plasma physics to develop strong research programs in nanotechnology. In an innovative use of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), the Gallagher group is writing nanometer-scale aluminum features on silicon by pinning aluminum with the electron beam from the STM; this research is relevant to quantum-limited electronics. Using the technique of single molecule confocal microscopy, the Nesbitt and Gallagher groups are investigating quantum dots, which are semiconductors intermediate in size between single molecules and the condensed phase. The fluorescence from a single CdSe dot as a function of time, shown in Figure 1, exhibits a digital "on/off" emissive behavior, in which periods of emission are followed by periods during which the dot no longer emits light. Such studies provide insight into the evolution of electronic and optical properties of matter with sample size. Applications of such materials range from nanoscale electronics to biological fluorescent labeling.

Extractions: An Invitation to Enter a New Field of Physics by Richard P. Feynman This transcript of the classic talk that Richard Feynman gave on December 29th 1959 at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was first published in the February 1960 issue of Caltech's Engineering and Science http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html with their kind permission. Information on the Feynman Prizes Links to pages on Feynman For an account of the talk and how people reacted to it, see chapter 4 of Nano! by Ed Regis, Little/Brown 1995. An excellent technical introduction to nanotechnology is Nanosystems: molecular machinery, manufacturing, and computation by K. Eric Drexler, Wiley 1992. I imagine experimental physicists must often look with envy at men like Kamerlingh Onnes, who discovered a field like low temperature, which seems to be bottomless and in which one can go down and down. Such a man is then a leader and has some temporary monopoly in a scientific adventure. Percy Bridgman, in designing a way to obtain higher pressures, opened up another new field and was able to move into it and to lead us all along. The development of ever higher vacuum was a continuing development of the same kind. I would like to describe a field, in which little has been done, but in which an enormous amount can be done in principle. This field is not quite the same as the others in that it will not tell us much of fundamental physics (in the sense of, ``What are the strange particles?'') but it is more like solid-state physics in the sense that it might tell us much of great interest about the strange phenomena that occur in complex situations. Furthermore, a point that is most important is that it would have an enormous number of technical applications.

Extractions: Sep. 12, 2005, Diamonds have always been alluring, but now a team of scientists has made them truly magnetic on the nanoscale. Researchers associated with the Rensselaer Nanotechnology Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute report a technique to make magnetic diamond particles only 4-5 nanometers across. The tiny diamond magnets could find use in fields ranging from medicine to information technology. Ferromagnetism has been historically reserved for metals, but scientists are becoming increasingly interested in the prospect of creating metal-free magnets, particularly from carbon-based materials. Diamond is a naturally occurring crystalline form of carbon.

The findings could lead to fewer constraints on reaction conditions potentially leading to the development of lower cost techniques for certain industrially important catalytic reactions.
