Patterning silicon at the one-nanometer scale

The new electron beam nanofabrication technique is called plasmon engineering. It achieves unprecedented near-atomic scale control of patterning in silicon. Structures built using this approach produce record-high tuning of electro-optical properties.

Modeling uncovers an 'atomic waltz' for atom manipulation

Scientists have uncovered a non-destructive mechanism to manipulate donor impurities within silicon using focused electron irradiation. In this novel indirect exchange process not one but two neighbouring silicon atoms are involved in a coordinated atomic 'waltz', which may open a path for the fabrication of solid-state qubits.
