Abstract: A method for forming self-assembled patterns on a substrate surface is provided. First, a block copolymer layer, which comprises a block copolymer having two or more immiscible polymeric block components, is applied onto a substrate that comprises a substrate surface with a trench therein. The trench specifically includes at least one narrow region flanked by two wide regions, and wherein the trench has a width variation of more than 50%. Annealing is subsequently carried out to effectuate phase separation between the two or more immiscible polymeric block components in the block copolymer layer, thereby forming periodic patterns that are defined by repeating structural units. Specifically, the periodic patterns at the narrow region of the trench are aligned in a predetermined direction and are essentially free of defects. Block copolymer films formed by the above-described method as well as semiconductor structures comprising such block copolymer films are also described.

The tilting mechanism includes a frame adapted to being secured to a rearwardly extending location of the elongated handles and such that the bucket portion is disposed between the frame and the front wheel. Elongated supports are incorporated into the frame and, in combination with the front wheel, support the wheelbarrow upon a surface. The frame includes structure for establishing an angle or incline, relative to an uneven or peaked surface, and is actuated to facilitate tilting of the bucket portion about a longitudinal axis extending through the load carrying device.

Abstract: A structure and method for improving the spatial resolution of a scanning probe microscope (SPM) tip, which has been coated with a layer of chemically-synthesized nanoparticles. The nanoparticles are either single-species or heterogeneous, such that the single-species nanoparticles can be either ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, superparamagnetic, antiferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, magneto-optic, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, superconducting, semiconducting, magnetically-doped semiconducting, insulating, fluorescent, or chemically catalytic. The layer of nanoparticles is at least two nanoparticles thick, or alternatively, is a single layer of nanoparticles thick, or alternatively, is a single layer of nanoparticles thick and covers only the tip apex portion of the tip, or alternatively, only a single nanoparticle is affixed to the tip apex. Alternatively, the layer of nanoparticles is transformed into an electrically-continuous magnetic film by annealing at a high temperature.

Abstract: A method in effectuating the redirection of light which is propagated within a waveguide, and which eliminates the necessity for a bending of the waveguide, or the drawbacks encountered in directional changes in propagated light involving the need for sharp curves of essentially small-sized radii, which would resultingly lead to excessive losses in light. In this connection, the method relates to the fabricating and the provision of a wire-grid polarization beam splitter within an optical waveguide, which utilizes a diblock copolymer template to formulate the wire-grid.

The method comprises providing a patterned substrate with selectively positioned recesses, and applying a solution or suspension of nanoparticles to the patterned substrate to form a wetted substrate. A wiper member is dragged across the surface of the wetted substrate to remove a portion of the applied nanoparticles from the wetted substrate, and leaving a substantial number of the remaining portion of the applied nanoparticles disposed in the selectively positioned recesses of the substrate. The invention is also directed to a method of making carbon nanotubes from the positioned nanoparticles.
