Dip pen nanolithography stamp tip by Amro, Nabil A., Zhang, Hua, Elghanian, Robert, Disawal, Sandeep, Eby, Ray

“…This method is a type of scanning probe contact printing but provides the ability to generate higher resolution structures than one can obtain with the conventional technique, which thus far has only enabled micron scale patterning. Sub-100 nm resolution patterning with 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHA) as an ink is demonstrated with these novel tips and is comparable to what one can obtain with a conventional ink-coated Si3N4 probe tip. …”

Effects of chemical composition, film thickness, and morphology on the electrochromic properties of donor-acceptor conjugated copolymers based on diketopyrrolopyrrole by Neo, Wei Teng, Shi, Zugui, Cho, Ching Mui, Chua, Soo-Jin, Xu, Jianwei

“…In addition, further study on the influence of film thickness and film morphology reveals that devices with higher optical contrasts are attainable from thicker polymer films at the expense of switching speeds; films with high uniformity and connectedness together with open, loose structures at submicron to micron scale are favorable for achieving good electrochromic performance.…”
