Novel effects can occur in materials when structures are formed with sizes comparable to any one of many possible length scales, such as the de Broglie wavelength of electrons, or the optical wavelengths of high energy photons. In these cases quantum mechanical effects can dominate material properties. One example is quantum confinement where the electronic properties of solids are altered with great reductions in particle size. The optical properties of nanoparticles, e.g. fluorescence, also become a function of the particle diameter. This effect does not come into play by going from macrosocopic to micrometer dimensions, but becomes pronounced when the nanometer scale is reached.

Transmission electron microscope, high resolution tem and selected area elect...Nano Encryption
The transmission electron microscope is a very powerful tool for material science. A high energy beam of electrons is shone through a very thin sample, and the interactions between the electrons and the atoms can be used to observe features such as the crystal structure and features in the structure like dislocations and grain boundaries. Chemical analysis can also be performed. TEM can be used to study the growth of layers, their composition and defects in semiconductors. High resolution can be used to analyze the quality, shape, size and density of quantum wells, wires and dots.
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons.
This presentation contains a basic introduction to quantum dots,their discovery, properties, applications,advantages,limitations and future prospects.It also contains a brief overview of experimental work carried out and results obtained during my summer term project.

Today, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a versatile technique used in many
industrial labs, as well as for research and development. Due to its high lateral resolution, its great depth of focus and its facility for X-ray microanalysis, SEM is ofen
used in materials science – including polymer science – to elucidate the microscopic
structure or to differentiate several phases from each other.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

2. How did it all start? Professor Richard Feynman presented the idea of manipulating and controlling things on an extremely small scale by building and shaping matter one atom at a time. Feynman described how the 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica can be written on the head of a pin. He said that letters could be represented by six to seven bits of information for each letter. He also suggested using the inside as well as the surface of a metal to store information. Feynman allowed that if each bit was equal to 100 atoms, all the information of all the books of the world could be written in a cube of material 1/200 inch wide, about the size of a tiny speck of dust. THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM AT THE BOTTOM!
3. Nanotechnology In 1989, Don Eigler of IBM formed the letters of the company from 35 xenon atoms by STM.
4. Optical Microscopes are not for nanoscale analysis? “The smallest resolvable distance between objects is about half the wavelength of the light used” So, for visible light (500nm), resolving power is about 250 nm only! Nanomaterials (<100 nm) would appear blurred or undistinguishable. Only wavelengths from UV, X-ray, up to Gamma are applicable for visual characterization.
7. BackscatteredElectrons –produced by Elastic scattering of Core electrons and having the same energy as the primary electrons. Responsible for CONTRAST.

11. SEM vs TEM Scanning Electron Microscope Samples must be conductive or else it will BURN! Im in 3D! Over 300k times magnification Transmission Electron Microscope Samples must be thin enough or else it wont project a recognizable image! Just 2D. Up to 1million times magnification
16. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy STM uses the a quantum physics phenomenon called “Tunneling” to provide detailed images of substances that can conduct electricity. The probe is brought to within a few angstroms of the surface of the material, and a small voltage is applied between the surface and the probe. Because the probe is so close to the surface, electron leaks, or tunnel, across the gap between the probe and surface , generating current.
17. The strength of the tunneling current depends on the distance between the surface and the probe. If the probe moves closer o the surface, the tunneling current increases, and if the probe moves away from the surface, the tunneling current decreases. As the scanning mechanism moves along the surface, the mechanism constantly adjusts the height of the probe to keep the tunneling current constant. By tracking these minute changes, a computer can create a 3-D representation of the surface.
18. Atomic Force Microscopy As the metal probe in an AFM moves along the surface of a sample, the electrons in the probe are repelled by the electrons of the atoms in the sample and the AFM adjusts to the height of the probe to keep the force on it constant. By the up-and-down movements of the probe, a computer can track and make a 3-D image of the surface sample
22. The Tiniest Wires An image from a STM reveals wires on eight to ten atoms wide. Researchers at Hewlett-Packard Company in Palo Alto, California, developed the nanowires, the tiniest wires yet created.
23.
24. Physical Adsorption is particularly useful in the determination of specific surface area and pore volume in mesopores (2~50nm) or micropores (<2nm).

27. The core hole thus created may get filled by electron de-excitation resulting in X-ray.
28. All photons (X-ray) emitted by the sample are collected and measured simultaneously by a solid-state X-ray detector
