Journal ArticleDOI
Enabling nanotechnology with self assembled block copolymer patterns
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the current efforts to utilize block copolymers in nanotechnologies including nanostructured membranes, BCP templates for nanoparticle synthesis, photonic crystals, and high-density information storage media is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Dielectric Omnidirectional Reflector
Yoel Fink,Joshua N. Winn,Shanhui Fan,Chiping Chen,Jurgen Michel,John D. Joannopoulos,Edwin L. Thomas +6 more
TL;DR: A design criterion that permits truly omnidirectional reflectivity for all polarizations of incident light over a wide selectable range of frequencies was used in fabricating an all-dielectric omnid Directional reflector consisting of multilayer films.
Journal ArticleDOI
Block copolymer nanocomposites : Perspectives for tailored functional materials
TL;DR: The use of block copolymers instead of homopolymers as the matrix is shown to afford opportunities for controlling the spatial and orientational distribution of the nanoelements, which allows much more sophisticated tailoring of the overall properties of the composite material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphoepitaxy of self-assembled block copolymers on two-dimensional periodic patterned templates.
TL;DR: This method, which forms high-sp spatial-frequency arrays using a lower-spatial-frequency template, will be useful in nanolithography applications such as the formation of high-density microelectronic structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Templated Self‐Assembly of Block Copolymers: Top‐Down Helps Bottom‐Up
TL;DR: Templated self-assembly of block copolymers as discussed by the authors provides a path towards the rational design of hierarchical device structures with periodic features that cover several length scales, and provides a promising route to control bottom-up self-organization processes through top-down lithographic templates.
