DOWNLOAD EBOOKNanomaterials are important tools for enabling technological progress as they can provide dramatically different properties as compared to the bulk counterparts. The field of nanoparticles is one of the most investigated within nanomaterials, thanks to the existing, relatively simple, means of manufacturing. In this thesis, high-power pulsed hollow cathode sputtering is used to nucleate and grow magnetic nanoparticles in a plasma. This sputtering technique provides a high degree of ionization of the sputtered material, which has previously been shown to aid in the growth of the nanoparticles. The magnetic properties of the particles are utilized and makes it possible for the grown particles to act as building blocks for self-assembly into more sophisticated nano structures, particularly when an external magnetic field is applied. These structures created are termed “nanowires” or “nanotrusses”, depending on the level of branching and inter-linking that occurs. Several different elements have been investigated in this thesis. In a novel approach, it is shown how nanoparticles with more advanced structures, and containing material from two hollow cathodes, can be fabricated using high-power pulses. The dual-element particles are achieved by using two distinct and individual elemental cathodes, and a pulse process that allows tuning of individual pulses separately to them. Nanoparticles grown and investigated are Fe, Ni, Pt, Fe-Ni and Ni-Pt. Alternatively, the addition of oxygen to the process allows the formation of oxide or hybrid metal oxide – metal particles. For all nanoparticles containing several elements, it is demonstrated that the stoichiometry can be easily varied, either by the amount of reactive gas let into the process or by tuning the amount of sputtered material through adjusting the electric power supplied to the different cathodes. One aim of the presented work is to find a suitable material for the use as a catalyst in the production of H2 gas through the process of water splitting. H2 is a good candidate to replace fossil fuels as an energy carrier. However, rare elements (such as Ir or Pt) needs to be used as the catalyst, otherwise a high overpotential is required for the splitting to occur, leading to a low efficiency. This work demonstrates a possible route to avoid this, by using nanomaterials to increase the surface-to-volume ratio, as well as optimizing the elemental ratio between different materials to lower the amount of noble elements required.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTop-down approaches are currently the main contributor of fabricating microelectronic devices. However, the prohibitive cost of numerous technological steps in these approaches is the main obstacle to further progress. Furthermore, a large number of applications necessitate fabrication of complex and ultra-small devices that cannot be made using these approaches. New approaches based on natural self-assembly of matter need to be developed to allow for fabrication of micro and nanoelectronic devices. Self-assembly of nanostructures is a dynamic field, which explores physics of these structures and new ways to fabricate them. However, the major problem is how to control the properties of the nanostructures resulting from low dimensionality. This book presents recent advances made to address this problem, and fabricate nanostructures using self-assembly.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDirected self-assembly of nanomaterials via external fields is an attractive processing tool for industry as it is inherently inexpensive and flexible. The self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles in particular has gained much recent interest for applications ranging from biomedical imaging and targeted cancer therapy to ferrofluid mechanical damping devices, that rely on the state of aggregation and alignment of the nanoparticles. We utilize an oil-water platform to directly observe directed self-assembly of magnetic nanoparticles that are field ordered into two-dimensional mesostructures through the fossilized liquid assembly method. Our system consisted of polymer-coated iron-oxide nanoparticles which were assembled at the interface between a crosslinkable hydrophobic monomer oil, and water through the use of external magnetic fields, and then cured with UV light. In this study, entire magnetic flux field lines in various geometrical configurations were successfully modeled and mapped out by the magnetic nanoparticles, both in-plane and in perpendicular orientations utilizing FLA. As the microscopic behavior of magnetic nanoparticles is known through this first study, further work can then be conducted through the assembly of block copolymer/magnetic nanoparticle nanocomposites. The morphology of neat self-assembled block copolymers have been extensively studied and it has been proven that the molecular weight, volume fraction of the components, and the degree of segment incompatibility are the three independent parameters used to determine equilibrium morphologies. The assembled orientations of lamellar and cylindrical morphologies in particular develop specific directionalities depending on the natural interactions of the blocks with the substrate and surface. It has been shown that treatments such as UV-Ozone treatment of the substrate, mechanical shear, or electrical fields can force this directionality to be altered, however few methods have been developed to readily alter preferential morphologies through the use of magnetic fields. In order to provide preliminary results toward the validity of a magnetically driven reorientation process, systems of polystyrene-b-poly(methylmethacrylate) with varying molecular weights were loaded with up to 1% polystyrene coated cobalt nanoparticles. This study successfully showed that the particles can be loaded into the block copolymers without disrupting the morphology of the block copolymers, and also provided initial results that this method is plausible.
