... Abstract A mesoscopic simulation method combining multiphase Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) is employed to investigate and control self-assembly of charged polymeric nanoparticles in microdroplet solution deposited on plane substrate during solvent...

... 23 05 2008 Layer-by-layer self-assembly is a key enabling technique in nanotechnology. It is very crucial to pattern the self-assembled thin films for the realization of nano/microelectronics devices or NEMS (Nano Electro Mechanical Systems). Two approaches to generate spatially...

... 13 05 2008 Experimental evidence has accumulated in the recent decade that nanoscale patterns can self-assemble on solid surfaces. This paper reports the development of a continuous phase field model that accounts for the self-assembly of a ternary monolayer. Coarsening due to phase...

... microstructures serve as microhinges and stress-induced self-assembly mechanisms. The microstructures will be lifted and assembled by Si x N y /Poly-Si bimorph beams after releasing. This work adopted in-plane movable optical stage and out-of-plane pop-up mirror to demonstrate the characteristic of proposed...

..., the process of coalescence and void lattice formation demonstrates rich dynamics. Long-range elastic interaction and elastic anisotropy are found to play a significant role that determines the self-assembled super-lattice. void lattice self-assembly phase field model long-range interaction...

... 28 03 2008 The direct synthesis and self-assembly of silicon nanowires to yield a two-terminal, nano-to-micro integrated system has been demonstrated. The process takes advantage of localized heating to initiate and sustain a bottom up nanowire synthesis mechanism. As soon...

... 31 03 2008 A binary monolayer on an elastic substrate may self-organize into ordered nanoscale patterns. Here we report a work of using a substrate strain field to guide the self-assembly process. The study shows that straining a substrate uniformly does not influence the pattern...
