Nanoscale process

Germanium In situ STM studies on Ge electrodeposition on gold from an ionic liquid have quite recently been started at our institute [59, 60]. In these studies we used dry [BMIM][PF<3] as a solvent and dissolved Gel4 at estimated concentrations of 0.1-1 mmol 1 the substrate being Au(lll). This ionic liquid has, in its dry state, an electrochemical window of a little more than 4 V on gold, and the bulk deposition of Ge started several hundreds of mV positive from the solvent decomposition. Furthermore, distinct underpotential phenomena were observed. Some insight into the nanoscale processes at the electrode surface is given in Section 6.2.2.3.

SPM is widely used as research tool and industrial measuring instrument, and has drawn attraction as nanoscale processing tool at nanometer order from the initial stage of development. The atomic operation became possible by SPM [54], and scanning probe nanolithography (SPNL) was developed at ca. 10 nm level [55]. There are three major categories for SPNL as follows ... 

The method nearest to electronic device fabrication is the nanoscale processing based on the anodic oxidation of semiconductors and metals. The following electrochemical reactions proceed after applying voltage between the probe and the substrate in the column of adsorbed water generated at the region between them in the air as shown in Fig. 17. 

At this time, only a small number of nanoscale processes are characterized with transport phenomena equations. Therefore, if, for example, a chemical reaction takes place in a nanoscale process, we cannot couple the elementary chemical reaction act with the classical transport phenomena equations. However, researchers have found the keys to attaching the molecular process modelling to the chemical engineering requirements. For example in the liquid-vapor equilibrium, the solid surface adsorption and the properties of very fine porous ceramics computed earlier using molecular modelling have been successfully integrated in modelling based on transport phenomena [4.14]. In the same class of limits we can include the validity limits of the transfer phenomena equations which are based on parameters of the thermodynamic state. It is known [3.15] that the flow equations and, consequently, the heat and mass transport equations, are valid only for the... 

Given the success of our approach in designing experimentally viable nanomaterials, we believe that the coming years would see the use of this approach in the development of novel nanosystems with potential applications in pharmaceuticals, optics, opto-electronics, information storage, sensors, biotechnology, nanomedicine, nanofluidics, and nanoelectronics. Furthermore, it would also provide vital information on the methods needed to harness these nanosystems as machines and devices and provide an increased understanding of the science behind most nanoscale processes.

Based on a variety of experimental results, it seems that the FRRPP process is one of those nanoscale processes that involve transport and chemical reaction processes. Even though the analysis of the FRRPP process is still based on continuum concepts, at least it is now possible to show that it is a nanotechnology, if not, a nanoscience...
