Seminar at Birck today for Boris Luk'yanchuk in Rm 2001 @ 1:30PM
by Black, Nancy Lee 29 Apr '11

Boris Luk'yanchuk Senior Scientist and Division Manager at Data Storage Institute, Singapore Bio: Here we are discussing the magnification effect of the transparent spherical particle. It is well known that transparent spherical particle can work as a focusing lens in the near field. For example, for transparent particle with refractive index n < 2 it was shown experimentally that it is possible to localize light up to scale beyond 50-100 nm in agreement with calculations by the Mie theory. Especially great localization can be obtained for particles with n > 2 (photon jet). Thus, we believe that according to reciprocity principle one can expect high resolution of the spherical lens in the near-field. It is possible to find exact relation between lens magnification M and field enhancement I/I0 under the approximation of geometrical optics, . This function with a high accuracy can be approximated by power-like law . We also are discussing the virtual image construction applying the reciprocity principle and virtual prolongation of the Poynting vector lines. Both methods show that it is possible to reach magnification of the virtual image 4-8 times which is sufficient to resolve nano structures with dimension of 50-100 nm in white light. Abstract: Prof. Dr. Boris Luk`yanchuk graduated from the Moscow State University in 1967, PhD (1979) from the P. N. Lebedev Physical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences and Doctor of Sciences (1991) - from the General Physics Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences. State Professor's degree since 1992. He was working as Senior Scientist and a Head of the Laboratory at the General Physics Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences till 1999. He was also working abroad as invited Professor in Austria, Italy, France, Sweden, Japan and Australia. Since 1999 he is working as a Senior Scientist and a Division Manager of Advanced Concepts Group at the Data Storage Institute, Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore. He published 5 monographs and above 300 papers. He is a Honorary Professor at Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America. Fields of his interest are related to laser matter interactions. Host: Vladimir Shalaev, shalaev(a)purdue.edu, 494-9855

Nanocomposite based on conducting polymers/nanoparticles are useful materials in a wide number of technological applications. Incorporation of nano-metallic oxides into polymers offers important changes in the electronic, optical, thermal, mechanical properties. In the present study films and bulk polypyrrole and polyaniline were obtained in the presence of iron oxide nanoparticles. Also it is showed how synthetic iron oxide nanoparticles can be doped to tune the electronic energy levels. The effect of the nanoparticles on the structure of the polymer matrix is determined using Raman and Mossbauer spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques. The results show that the magnetite incorporation decreases polymeric film resistance and Raman experiments have evidenced that the incorporation of nanoparticles into polymeric matrix not only stabilizes its polaronic form, but also preserves the polymer from further oxidation.

Professional Photo-shoot opportunity for micro-devices made in the BNC
by Allain, Monica M.C. 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Dear faculty, We have been provided a unique opportunity to have a "Free" photo shoot of all devices made within the BNC, if we can organize all the faculty that are interested in having their micro-devices or prototypes professional photographed. This is a wonderful opportunity for those of you that would like to feature your device in future publications. Another great opportunity for you to showcase your device is to contact Robert Sayer (rsayer(a)purdue.edu <mailto:rsayer@purdue.edu> ), our BNC Graduate Ambassador, to reserve your spot at the technology tables April 15 and April 16th where they will be show-cased to over 800 visitors. Please let us know if you are interested in having your technologies showcased and if you are interested in having a professional photo taken for future publication needs. Thank you. ~ Monica M. Cortez Allain, Ph.D. ~ ************************************************************ Monica M. Cortez Allain, Ph.D. Managing Director Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W.

bnc-faculty-all-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu Here you go Nicky. -----Original Message----- From: Nicky Danaher [mailto:nickyd@ecn.purdue.edu] Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 10:24 AM To: Black, Nancy Lee Subject: Birck "Alias" for ALL Birck Faculty? Hello Nancy, Linda Campbell gave me your name to contact. I am wondering if you have an email "alias" that includes all of the Birck Faculty (i.e., like "ecefaculty(a)purdue.edu" sends to ALL ECE faculty)? If so, I would very much appreciate obtaining that alias from you in order to send a seminar announcement from Prof. Kevin Webb to all of the Birck faculty. Thanks very much for your help! :-) Nicky -- Ms. Nicky Danaher, Area Secretary Purdue University School of Electrical & Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering Building 465 Northwestern Avenue West Lafayette, IN 47907-2035 Ph: (765) 494-3510 Fax: (765) 494-2706 Email: nickyd(a)ecn.purdue.edu Room: EE 326B
