Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The phenomenon of adhesion appears in various applications of everyday life, ranging from PostIt NotesTM and Scotch TapeTM, to the assembly of aircraft and space shuttles. However, adhesion on the molecular scale is fundamentally different from the adhesion that we experience in the macroscopic world. While macroscopic objects require special adhesives or glues to bind them together, microsca1e and nanoscale objects and molecules commonly have a high affinity to adhere to each other. A detailed description of intermolecular forces is therefore of key importance in order to understand a wide range of phenomena, ranging from macroscopic properties of materials to molecular recognition. Two key aspects of the atomic force microscope (AFM), namely its sensitivity to sub-nanoNewton forces and its very sharp probe, offer the opportunity to measure interactions between very small numbers of molecules. Through chemical tailoring of both substrates and AFM probes with self-assembled mono layers (SAMs), measurements of forces acting between specific functional groups can be measured. Furthermore, the force required to rupture a single chemical bond can be obtained by a detailed analysis of the histograms of rupture forces. A new model was derived to examine the relationship between the various experimental variables and the shape of histograms of rupture forces when discrete chemical bonds are formed between the AFM probe and substrate. Calculations based on the model demonstrated that in measurements aimed at detecting single bond rupture forces, strict limits are put on the size of the AFM probe, the relative magnitude of the interfacial energies and the bond formation probability. These results were used in two experimental systems where the single bond rupture force was successfully measured: 0) the abstraction of a single Au-S complex from an Au coated AFM probe; and (ill the rupture of a single charge-transfer (cI) complex between tetramethylphenylenediamine (TMPO) and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). Measurements involving only one molecule at a time were conducted using polymer chains chemically grafted to the AFM probe and substrate. In these measurements, the effect of the solvent on the elasticity of the polyethylene-propylene oligomers was directly observed in the force-elongation profile"--Leaves iii-iv.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of organic semiconductors in electronic devices emerged with the fabrication of photovoltaic cells with organic dyes and in recent years their applications have extended to field effect transistors (FETs) and light emitting devices (LEDs). Increased attention towards organic semiconductors and materials is mainly due to flexibility they provide with respect to the properties of individual molecules and fabrication in desired shapes. Among n-type semiconductors, perylenetetracaboxylicdiimide (PTCDI), is gaining increasing attention due to its high photo and thermal stability. With the modification of side chains with different functionalities, one can tune the solubility of molecule in different solvent and the morphology of resultant molecular aggregates. Following work presents the use of PTCDI molecules with three different side chains attached to PTCDI core. We investigated the effect of different side chains on resultant morphology when fabricated through different processing techniques. Fabrication techniques applied are solution based processing and surface assisted solvent vapor annealing. The later technique provides a better control over the size and shape of resultant nanocrystals. We investigated the size and optical properties of nanocrystals formed with the help of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Through solution based and surface assisted solvent vapor annealing processes under different conditions, we have fabricated nanocrystals with different aspect ratios, size and shape. Currently we are working on investigation of electrical measurements for application of nanocrystals in real time electronic devices.

This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The atomic force microscope (AFM) has become one of the leading nanoscale measurement techniques for materials science since its creation in the 1980's, but has been gaining popularity in a seemingly unrelated field of science: biology. The AFM naturally lends itself to investigating the topological surfaces of biological objects, from whole cells to protein particulates, and can also be used to determine physical properties such as Young's modulus, stiffness, molecular bond strength, surface friction, and many more. One of the most important reasons for the rise of biological AFM is that you can measure materials within a physiologically relevant environment (i.e. liquids). This book is a collection of works beginning with an introduction to the AFM along with techniques and methods of sample preparation. Then the book displays current research covering subjects ranging from nano-particulates, proteins, DNA, viruses, cellular structures, and the characterization of living cells.

Download or read book Probing Interactions in Complex Molecular Systems Through Ordered Assembly written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging from the machinery of epitaxial science and chemical synthesis, is a growing emphasis on development of self-organized systems of complex molecular species. The nature of self-organization in these systems spans the continuum from simple crystallization of large molecules such as dendrimers and proteins, to assembly into large organized networks of nanometer-scale structures such as quantum dots or nanoparticles. In truth, self-organization in complex molecular systems has always been a central feature of many scientific disciplines including fields as diverse as structural biology, polymer science and geochemistry. But over the past decade, changes in those fields have often been marked by the degree to which researchers are using molecular-scale approaches to understand the hierarchy of structures and processes driven by this ordered assembly. At the same time, physical scientists have begun to use their knowledge of simple atomic and molecular systems to fabricate synthetic self-organized systems. This increasing activity in the field of self-organization is testament to the success of the physical and chemical sciences in building a detailed understanding of crystallization and epitaxy in simple atomic and molecular systems, one that is soundly rooted in thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. One of the fundamental challenges of chemistry and materials science in the coming decades is to develop a similarly well-founded physical understanding of assembly processes in complex molecular systems. Over the past five years, we have successfully used in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate the physical controls on single crystal epitaxy from solutions for a wide range of molecular species. More recently, we have combined this method with grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and kinetic Monte Carlo modeling in order to relate morphology to surface atomic structure and processes. The purpose of this proposal was to extend this approach to assemblies of three classes of ''super molecular'' nanostructured materials. These included (1) dendrimers, (2) DNA bonded nano-particles, and (3) colloids, all of which form solution-based self-organizing systems. To this end, our goals were, first, to learn how to modify models of epitaxy in small molecule systems so that they are useful, efficient, and applicable to assembly of super-molecular species; and, second, to learn how systematic variations in the structure and bonding of the building blocks affect the surface kinetics and energetics that control the assembly process and the subsequent dynamic behavior of the assembled structures. AFM imaging provided experimental data on morphology and kinetics, while kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations related these data to molecular-scale processes and features.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen tremendous progress in research on cold and controlled molecular collisions, both in theory and in experiment. The advent of techniques to prepare cold and ultracold molecules and ions, to store them in optical lattices or in charged quasicristalline structures, and to use them in crossed or merged beam experiments have opened many new possibilities to study the most fundamental aspects of molecular interactions. At the same time, theoretical work has made progress in tackling these problems and accurately describing quantum effects in complex systems, and in proposing viable options to control chemical reactions at ultralow energies. Through tutorials on both the theoretical and experimental aspects of research in cold and ultracold molecular collisions, this book provides advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and researchers with the foundations needed to understand this exciting field.

This book was released on 1998-11-18 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufacturing will unquestionably be a very different enterprise in 2020 from what it is today. This book presents an exciting picture of the profitable and productive potential of manufacturing two decades hence. This book takes an international view of future manufacturing that considers the leaps and bounds of technological innovation and the blurring of the lines between the manufacturing and service industries. The authors identify ten strategic technology areas as the most important for research and development and they recommend ways to address crosscutting questions. Representing a variety of industries, the authors identify six "grand challenges" that must be overcome for their vision to be realized, including the human/technology interface, environmental concerns, and miniaturization. A host of issues are discussed that will push and pull at manufacturing over the next 20 years: the changing workforce, the changing consumer, the rise of bio- and nanotechnology, the prospects for waste-free processing, simulation and modeling as design tools, shifts in global competition, and much more. The information and analyses in this book will be vitally important to everyone concerned about the future of manufacturing: policymakers, executives, design and engineering professionals, researchers, faculty, and students.
