The objective of this research is to develop a multifunctional nanoscale measurement system to explore geometric, electronic, dielectric and ferroelectric, optical, thermal, and chemical properties of individual nanostructures in a correlated manner. The approach is to integrate nanoscale characterization and fabrication capabilities in a single laser-assisted scanning probe microscope system with a spatial resolution on the order of nanometers. Individual nanostructures and devices can be diagnosed to find their correlated physical and chemical properties in a single experiment. The instrument to be developed will allow researchers to obtain detailed local information on material composition, structure, and function, allowing better understanding of the nanoscale properties of materials. The instrument functions can be performed sequentially on the same sample spot, allowing manipulation and characterization of multifunctional nanoscale materials. The development of the proposed instrument will benefit the research community in nanotechnology by enhancing the integration of research with student education in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics at postdoctoral, graduate student, undergraduate student, and K-12 teacher and student levels. The successful development of this instrument will also open many opportunities in nanoscience/ technology in the United States and reduce the gap with Europe in the area of nanoscale characterization. The research results will be disseminated by annual conferences, journals, and the project website.

这项研究的目的是开发一个多功能的纳米级测量系统，以探索几何，电子，介电和铁电，以相关方式的单个纳米结构的单个纳米结构的化学性质。该方法是将纳米级表征和制造能力集成在单个激光辅助扫描探针显微镜系统中，并在纳米阶的空间分辨率中整合。可以诊断出单个纳米结构和设备在单个实验中找到其相关的物理和化学性质。 要开发的仪器将使研究人员能够获得有关材料组成，结构和功能的详细局部信息，从而可以更好地了解材料的纳米级特性。可以在同一样品点上顺序执行仪器功能，从而可以操纵和表征多功能的纳米级材料。拟议工具的开发将通过在博士后，研究生，本科生以及K-12的老师和学生水平的电气工程，机械工程和物理学中加强研究与学生教育的整合，从而使研究界的纳米技术研究社区受益。该工具的成功开发还将在美国开放许多纳米科学/技术的机会，并减少纳米级表征领域与欧洲的差距。研究结果将由年度会议，期刊和项目网站传播。
