Nanotechnology Principles, Applications, and Careers National Educators Workshop November 3, 2013 SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education
What is Nanotechnology? Nanotechnology is…. • the control of matter on the atomic level • the ability to build using atoms as building blocks • the manufacture of novel materials with novel properties What is a nanometer? 1 nm = 10 -9 m = 0. 00001 m = one billionth of a meter What is a nanostructure? Structure with at least one dimension < 100 nm SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 2

Who? Government Academic Research Institutions National Laboratories Industry Non-Profits The public Source: NNIN SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 5
The Very Beginnings… 2000 years ago – Stained Glass 1100 – Damascus Steel swords 1500 – NPs in pottery Armagh, Ireland, AD 444 ~1910 – particle sizes described in “nanometers” 1959 – Feynman’s speech “The principles of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom” SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 6
Then… 1970 – “Nanotechnology” coined (Taniguchi) 1981 – First atoms seen (Binnig and Rohrer, STM) 1986 – Engines of Creation, the Coming Age of Nanotechnology by Richard Drexler “Nanotechnology is the principle of atom manipulation atom by atom, through control of the structure of matter at the molecular level. It entails the ability to build molecular systems with atom-by-atom precision, yielding a variety of nanomachines” SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 7

Why “Nano” is Interesting Particles are small • High surface-to-volume ratio • React differently • Act differently (new properties) • Interact with light differently • Are on the scale of small biological structures Quantum Mechanics meet Classical Mechanics Interesting “new” structures Interesting materials with nanoparticles embedded SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 12
Surface energy increases with surface area Surface atoms (%) Surface Area and Energy diameter (nm) Large surface energy = instability Driven to grow to reduce surface energy SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 13 C. Nutzenadel et al. , Eur. Phys. J. D. 8, 245 (2000).
Physical Structure Physical Property What are the structural differences on the nanoscale? • High percentage surface atoms • Spatial confinement • Reduced imperfections What properties are affected? What properties can we tune? SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 14
Melting Points Lower melting point for nanostructures <100 nm Melting point (K) Surface energy increases as size decreases Particle diameter (nm) Ichimose, N. et al. Superfine Particle Technology Springer-Verlag London, 1992. SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 15
Mechanical Properties Mechanical properties improve as size decreases Strength (kg/mm) High atomic perfection d (µm) Mechanical Strength of Na. Cl whiskers Gyulai, Z. Z. Phys. 138, 317 (1954). SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 16
Electrical Properties Electron Scattering • Electrons move through a metal to conduct electricity • Electrons are scattered to cause resistivity • Decreasing size fewer defects less scattering Surface Scattering • Electrons scatter against the surface of nanostructure Widening of band gap SHINE: Seattle’s Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education 17
