Our new Scienta Omicron VT-STM arrived today at our lab. It will be unpacked and up an running in comping weeks. This scanning tunneling microscope will support our research efforts in atomically precise fabrication of solid-state quantum devices.

Reza Moheimani and collaborators, John Randall and James Owen (Zyvex Labs), have won two Department of Energy (DOE) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) awards. These are: (i) The PhaseII-B project “High Speed Platform for Highly Parallel STM lithography and Hierarchical Assembly.” and (ii) The Phase II project “Atomically Precise Scanning Probe Based Analysis of Activated Dopants for 2D Micro Electronics”.

Congratulations to Dr. Nastaran Nikooienejad who successfully defended her doctoral thesis titled “CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN FOR HIGH-SPEED ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY”. Nastaran remains a member of the LDCN and is currently undertaking postdoctoral research.

Congratulations to Dr. Soleymaniha for joining Intel Corp. We wish him good luck in his new position.
