The decision of wave equation, the structural-parametric model, the structural diagram, the transfer functions of a piezoactuator for nanoscience and nanotechnology are determined. Effects of geometric and physical parameters of a piezoactuator and the external load on its dynamic characteristics are determined. The structural diagram and the transfer functions of a piezoactuator for the transverse, longitudinal, shift piezoelectric effects are obtained from the structural-parametric model of a piezoactuator in contrast to Cady’s and Mason’s electrical equivalent circuits of a piezotransducer. For calculation of the mechatronics systems for nanoscience and nanotechnology with a piezoactuator its the structural diagram and the transfer functions are obtained. The generalized structural diagram of a piezoactuator is constructed.

Evolution in Catalyst Morphology Leads to Carbon Nanotube Growth Termination

March 2010 · The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

A mechanism by which catalyst deactivation occurs during vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) growth is demonstrated. We have used both quantitative measurements of nanotube growth rates and ex situ and in situ transmission electron microscopy observations to show that termination of carbon nanotube (CNT) array growth can be intrinsically linked to evolution of the catalyst ... [Show full abstract] morphology. Specifically, we find that a combination of both Ostwald ripening and subsequent subsurface diffusion leads to loss of the Fe catalyst, and through direct observations, we correlate this with nanotube growth termination. These observations indicate that careful design of the catalyst and its support as well as the interaction between the two - is required to maximize nanotube yields.

Nanotechnology, which is the manipulation of matter at a scale of one billionth of a meter, is poised to be one of the main technological developments of the twenty-first century. Although great uncertainty still surrounds it, the advances in nanotechnology have been impressive, and, given its potential, capitalist competition in the field is becoming increasingly intense. This paper addresses ... [Show full abstract] nanotechnology from a socio-political and geo-economic perspective in order to highlight the dynamics and interests at stake, the social networks and power relations involved, and the existing tensions due to capitalist competition and contradiction, among other aspects. This case study of nanotechnology in the Western hemisphere allows us to show and discuss some of the principal ways high technology is fomented in the metropolis (the United States in this case) and how this research agenda is adopted in the periphery (in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina).

Tackling Multimodal Device Distributions in Inverse Photonic Design using Invertible Neural Networks

August 2022

Inverse design, the process of matching a device or process parameters to exhibit a desired performance, is applied in many disciplines ranging from material design over chemical processes and to engineering. Machine learning has emerged as a promising approach to overcome current limitations imposed by the dimensionality of the parameter space and multimodal parameter distributions. Most ... [Show full abstract] traditional optimization routines assume an invertible one-to-one mapping between the design parameters and the target performance. However, comparable or even identical performance may be realized by different designs, yielding a multimodal distribution of possible solutions to the inverse design problem which confuses the optimization algorithm. Here, we show how a generative modeling approach based on invertible neural networks can provide the full distribution of possible solutions to the inverse design problem and resolve the ambiguity of nanodevice inverse design problems featuring multimodal distributions. We implement a Conditional Invertible Neural Network (cINN) and apply it to a proof-of-principle nanophotonic problem, consisting in tailoring the transmission spectrum of a metallic film milled by subwavelength indentations. We compare our approach with the commonly used conditional Variational Autoencoder (cVAE) framework and show the superior flexibility and accuracy of the proposed cINNs when dealing with multimodal device distributions. Our work shows that invertible neural networks provide a valuable and versatile toolkit for advancing inverse design in nanoscience and nanotechnology.

April 2012 · The Journal of Technology Transfer

We undertake a comprehensive review of more than 120 social science studies on nanotechnology, 90% of which are based on the analyses of the nanotechnology publications and patents. We discussed four intellectual debates formed by these studies, namely whether nanotechnology is an interdisciplinary field, whether nanoscience and nanotechnology are closely interlinked, whether nanotechnology ... [Show full abstract] development is path dependent and who is winning the global nanorace. We also conduct a comparative analysis of bibliometric search strategies used in the literature to harvest the publications and patents, including lexical queries, evolutionary lexical queries, citation analysis, and the use of core journal sets to identify nanotechnology articles. Because most of the compared strategies, except the one using 10 core journals in the field, share a core set of keywords and thus harvest a common batch of publications, they produce very similar ranking tables of the top subject areas and journals and the most prolific countries and institutions. Moreover, the core journal strategy does not provide a robust delineation of an emerging field such as nanotechnology due to the fact that nanotechnology related articles are published in a wide range of journals. Also, the different criteria for selecting the core journals will affect the analytical results dramatically.

Pre-service chemistry teachers’ understanding of size-dependent properties

July 2015

Nanoscience is the study examining the properties of structures/materials at the nanoscale (1-100 nm). Various properties of materials such as color, melting point, reactivity etc. become size-dependent at the nanoscale and differ from those of bulk form. Rapid development of nanoscience and numerous nanotechnology applications in everyday life ranging from consumer goods to medicine require that ... [Show full abstract] science teachers have sufficient knowledge of nanoscience and make their students gain nano-literacy. Revealing understanding of pre-service science teachers about nanoscience is expected to contribute to how the integration of nanoscience should be included in their education programs. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine pre-service chemistry teachers’ understanding about size-dependent properties. This study was conducted with 60 pre-service chemistry teachers studying at Balikesir University in Turkey by performing two tests (A and B) one by one which involve open-ended questions. The responses obtained by using of the two tests were classified as well as the analysis of their percentages to verify whether it correspond to the qualitative information. It was found that the pre-service chemistry teachers have most difficulty in explaining the reasons of the colors of gold nanoparticles and quantum dots and the differences between semiconductor and conductor and in imagination of the changes in the interactions and the surface area at nanoscale and self-assembly of nanoparticles. They have also some alternative conceptions on these topics. Some suggestions for teacher education were given based on the result obtained in this study.

Ultrafast laser surface irradiation of silicon: Effects of repetition rate in vacuum and air

September 2022 · Applied Surface Science

The process of surface structuring of a silicon target with femtosecond laser pulses (pulse width ≈180 fs; wavelength λ≈1030 nm) at repetition rates varying from 0.01 to 200 kHz is investigated in vacuum and in air, in static irradiation conditions. The threshold fluence for the formation of a shallow crater, as well as the surface features generated inside the crater, are analyzed at different ... [Show full abstract] repetition rate for a fixed sequence of N laser pulses. Our experimental results evidence a clear difference in the morphology of the surface structures generated in vacuum and air, addressing a change in the laser-target energy coupling at the higher pulse repetition rates. The observed behavior is rationalized in terms of the effects induced by the presence of nanoparticle debris, as well as of a plume shielding occurring at repetition rates larger than 10 kHz in air. Both such effects are hindered for vacuum irradiation conditions. Our experimental findings highlight the impact of plume shielding, and nanoparticles coverage on laser material processing in air at high repetition rates. These observations, thus, provide new useful insights in the field of fast laser processing essentially required in many applications of nanoscience and nanotechnologies.
