Announcements

• I am searching for partner(s) interested in further development and/or commercialization of the feature-oriented scanning (FOS) methodology applicable for both scanning probe microscopy and bottom-up nanofabrication. Contact me if you have any questions, comments or research/business proposals related to such collaboration
  
  
• I have some patentable thoughts and know-how on construction and control methods of a miniature XY nanopositioner of “walker” type. The invented positioner is free of its predecessor's drawbacks such as: x, y, z position instabilities, undesired rotation in the sample plane and sticking, all due to microroughnesses and pollutions in the contact area of electrostatic supports. Another advantage of the suggested positioner consists in its full compatibility with the feature-oriented scanning (FOS) approach. Both ambient and UHV arrangements are possible. Due to a low weight and small dimensions, the proposed nanopositioner may be incorporated in many instruments like SPM, SEM, FIB, Auger, etc. This nanopositioner is mounted instead of a sample and the sample itself is mounted on top of the nanopositioner. Contact me if you have a concern in joint development, testing and following production of such nanopositioner
  
  
• Take a look at the Patents section where several high-end measurement techniques are presented applicable to scanning probe microscopy and bottom-up nanotechnology. Your requests for licensing are welcome. Click here to establish a contact
