We are delighted to announce a high-profile themed issue on Lithography, to be published in the exciting new journal Nanoscale in 2011. The themed issue will be Guest Edited by Karl Berggren (MIT).
Submit to this themed issue – submission deadline 14 January 2011
The aim of this issue is to present the latest results in the area of lithography, with a particular focus on emerging methods.
The field of nanotechnology has grown extensively in recent years, with tremendous progress being made both in the areas of devices and materials. Further technology development requires new methods of patterning and control, i.e. lithography.
To keep up with the demands of both large-scale manufacturing, small-scale industrial prototyping, and most importantly, the pace of new developments in the research community, a broad array of nanolithography tools and techniques must be developed. These tools and methods span length scales from microns to angstroms, ranging from top-down control to bottom-up self-assembly.
Techniques of interest to this issue include:
Upcoming Nanoscale Themed issue for 2011: Optical Materials – Guest Editor: Claus Feldmann (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
Don’t miss it, submit your paper before the deadline: 08 December 2010
The aim of this issue is to address the fascinating field and recent discoveries in optical materials. Nowadays, luminescent nanomaterials are of outstanding importance in fundamental science, as well as with regard to technical applications. Chemical synthesis of high-quality materials ranging from semiconductor-type quantum dots or metal-doped oxides/fluorides to inorganic-organic composites/hybrids is as challenging as tackling all the relevant aspects of material optimisation and design – including particle size and agglomeration, specific surface conditioning, absorption/emission/decay characteristics, chemical/physical stability, cost/reproducibility or toxicity/biocompatibility.
Read July’s issue of Nanoscale – which is all about Doped Nanosctructures and is our first ever themed issue!
This issue, Guest Edited by Stephen Pearton (University of Florida), covers the fascinating field of the doping of nanoparticles or nanostructures: a simple but powerful tool to tailor the chemical and physical properties of functional materials.
