“…[14][15][16][17] An epitaxially aligned ceramic material has been patterned by a molding technique to create 50 lm wide lines; [18] however, epitaxially aligned structures with sub-micrometer resolution have not yet been demonstrated by using soft lithography. Such an extension of soft lithography is attractive because thin films with properties that rely on or benefit from epitaxial order (e.g., piezoelectric and high-T C (Curie temperature) superconducting properties) can possibly be patterned with sub-micrometerscale precision.…”

“…It is not only possible to epitaxially grow thin ceramic films from organic solutions, [15][16][17][18] but also to pattern these films by a simple micromolding method. The application of soft lithography to epitaxially grown ceramic films is attractive, because it extends this technique towards functionalities that cannot be achieved by using amorphous or polycrystalline materials.…”

Polymer‐based precursor solutions are patterned using a soft‐lithographic patterning technique to yield sub‐micrometer‐sized ceramic patterns. By using a polymer–metal‐nitrate solution as a lithographic resist, we demonstrate a micromolding procedure using a simple rubber stamp that yields a patterned precursor layer. A subsequent high‐temperature annealing step degrades the polymer giving rise to a patterned metal oxide film. This procedure is demonstrated for three different ceramic materials: Al2O3, ZnO, and PbTiO3. Al2O3 initially forms an amorphous phase that is subsequently converted into a polycrystalline material upon electron irradiation. The formed ZnO and PbTiO3 are polycrystalline. PbTiO3 exhibits epitaxial alignment when cast onto a SrTiO3(001) surface that matches its lattice periodicity. This epitaxial alignment is maintained when the PbTiO3 phase is patterned by micromolding, giving rise to epitaxially grown PbTiO3 patterns with feature sizes down to 300 nm.

Frequency multipliers based on superlattice (SL) devices as nonlinear elements have been developed as radiation sources for a terahertz (THz) laboratory spectrometer. Input frequencies of 100 and 250 GHz from backward wave oscillators have been multiplied up to the 11th harmonic, producing usable frequencies up to 2.7 THz. Even at these high frequencies the output power is sufficient for laboratory spectroscopy. Comparisons to conventional high-resolution microwave spectroscopy methods reveal several superior features of this new device such as very high line frequency accuracies, broadband tunability, high output power levels at odd harmonics of the input frequency up to high orders, and a robust applicability.

We constructed a dilution-refrigerator (DR) based ultra-low temperature scanning tunneling microscope (ULT-STM) which works at temperatures down to 30 mK, in magnetic fields up to 6 T and in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). Besides these extreme operation conditions, this STM has several unique features not available in other DR based ULT-STMs. One can load STM tips as well as samples with clean surfaces prepared in a UHV environment to an STM head keeping low temperature and UHV conditions. After then, the system can be cooled back to near the base temperature within 3 hours. Due to these capabilities, it has a variety of applications not only for cleavable materials but also for almost all conducting materials. The present ULT-STM has also an exceptionally high stability in the presence of magnetic field and even during field sweep. We describe details of its design, performance and applications for low temperature physics.
