6 Six Integrated Scientific Themes
Nanofabrication Nanophotonics NanoBio Interfaces e-beam, nanoimprint self-assembly process integration biomolecular hybrids for energy converstion biomimetics dynamics Ultimate x-ray microscope chemical, structural, strain, domain mapping. in-situ processes. physics and chemistry in the near optical field. plasmonics. nanomagnetism nanoferroelectricity oxide MBE, UNCD STM (e.g, spin-polarized) novel devices computational nanoscience; ‘virtual fab lab’ advanced computing; user friendly code Electronic/Magnetic Materials & Devices X-ray Imaging & Scattering Theory & Simulation

7 Enabling Technical Capabilities
Nanosynthesis - ‘bottom-up’ bio/organic/inorganic synthesis, self-assembly, thin film deposition. Nanopatterning - ‘top-down’ lithography (ebeam, FIB, optical), imprint, pattern transfer (eg, RIE). Nanocharacterization structural, magnetic, electronic, optical, chemical and dynamical properties. AFM, MFM, SEM, confocal optical hard x-ray nanoprobe Theory and Simulation computational materials science leverage ANL leadership computing. 2.5nm 50 nm ‘bottom-up’ synthesis and assembly of colloidal nanoparticles 13 nm Pd lines ‘top-down’ patterning of Pd wires; new cold develop process.
