This proposal was received in response to NSF 05-1788, category unsolicited. The objective of this research is to develop new manufacturing approaches for the fabrication of devices and systems that are increasingly smaller in size and richer in materials complexity. The approach is to develop strategies for the co-assembly of chemically synthesized nanoparticles on surfaces that will lead to the formation of complex arrangements with specific electro-optical properties. Substrates with chemical and topographical modulation will guide the positions and spacings of the particles. Both arrays of monodisperse particles, and arrays consisting of two different types of particles, will be studied. Two devices will be studied in particular as testbeds for this research: plasmon wire structures and photovoltaic structures.The societal benefits of this work will include the development of new approaches to nanomanufacturing, combined with a range of broader activities. These include the development of publically-accessible college undergraduate and graduate courses on nanomaterials and nanotechnology, laboratory modules on nano-manufacturing for undergraduate and graduate students, and modules on self-assembly for high school students. Two graduate students and several undergraduate students will be trained in nanoscale science, technology and manufacturing, as well as a visiting scientist from HP Laboratories. Outreach to minorities will be accomplished through summer research experiences for students at a local Community College, and outreach to industry through a close collaboration with HP and the development of links to other companies as the project progresses.

本提案是根据NSF 05-1788（非请求类别）收到的。本研究的目的是开发新的制造方法，用于制造尺寸越来越小且材料复杂性越来越丰富的设备和系统。该方法是开发化学合成的纳米粒子在表面上的共组装策略，这将导致形成具有特定电光特性的复杂排列。具有化学和形貌调制的基底将引导颗粒的位置和间距。将研究单分散颗粒的阵列和由两种不同类型的颗粒组成的阵列。两个设备将特别研究作为本研究的试验台：等离子体线结构和光伏结构。这项工作的社会效益将包括开发新的纳米制造方法，结合一系列更广泛的活动。这些措施包括开发可供公众使用的大学本科生和研究生纳米材料和纳米技术课程，为本科生和研究生开设纳米制造实验室单元，为高中生开设自组装单元。两名研究生和几名本科生将接受纳米级科学、技术和制造方面的培训，还有一名来自惠普实验室的客座科学家。与少数民族的外联将通过在当地社区学院为学生提供夏季研究经验来完成，并通过与惠普的密切合作以及随着项目的进展与其他公司建立联系来与行业进行外联。
