Cellular metallic materials have emerged as a new promising class of materials due to their lightweight porous structures and advanced multi-functional properties. Originally limited to random metallic foams, modern lithography techniques have enabled the ...
The resonant excitation of free electrons in metallic nanostructures enables extreme near field intensities along with a deep sub-wavelength localization of the electromagnetic energy. This has been exploited to enhance light-matter interaction down to the ...
We present an innovative fabrication method for solid-state nanoporous membranes based on the casting of sacrificial silicon nanostructures. The process allows the individual definition of geometry and placement of each nanopore through e-beam lithography ...
Photolithography is one of the earliest technologies used to transfer patterns to a substrate. It is also known as optical lithography since it uses light to transfer the pattern. The main exposure techniques exist in the industry are projection printing, ...
Thermal scanning probe lithography is an emerging nanofabrication technique for rapid prototyping of arbitrary topographies in thermally sensitive resist. This feature, paired to the recent advances in dry plasma etching techniques, allows the fabrication ...
By designing advantageous cellular geometries and combining the material size effects at the nanometer scale, lightweight hybrid microarchitectured materials with tailored structural properties are achieved. Prior studies reported the mechanical properties ...
