Der 3D‐Druck von geometrisch komplexen Nanostrukturen ist auf dem Weg zu ersten Anwendungen. Die Auswahl an geeigneten Materialien ermöglicht metallische, halbleitende, isolierende, supraleitende und exotische magnetische Eigenschaften. Das 3D‐FEBID‐Verfahren schreibt mit dem Elektronenstrahl eines Raster‐Elektronenmikroskops wie mit einem Nanostift. Das Material wird als Gasstrom von Precursor‐Molekülen über eine Hohlnadel zugeführt. Der Elektronenstrahl ermöglicht die hochlokale Fragmentierung dieser Moleküle, die meist metallische Zielatome enthalten. Die lokale Verweildauer des Strahls steuert den Strukturaufbau in der Vertikalen, während seine seitliche Bewegung zu geneigten, freistehenden Strukturen führt. Eine Herausforderung ist die definierte Strahlsteuerung, um ein CAD‐Modell möglichst präzise in ein reales 3D‐Nanoobjekt zu überführen. Für die Zukunft soll eine simulationsgestützte Software zur Steuerung des Elektronenstrahls auch Laien die Anwendung erleichtern. 3D‐FEBID ist bereits heute ein zuverlässiges und in vielerlei Hinsicht einzigartiges Verfahren zur Direktabscheidung funktionaler Nanostrukturen.
Focused electron and ion beam-induced deposition (FEBID/FIBID) are direct-write techniques with particular advantages in three-dimensional (3D) fabrication of ferromagnetic or superconducting nanostructures. Recently, two novel precursors, HCo 3 Fe(CO) 12 and Nb(NMe 3 ) 2 (N-t-Bu), were introduced, resulting in fully metallic CoFe ferromagnetic alloys by FEBID and superconducting NbC by FIBID, respectively. In order to properly define the writing strategy for the fabrication of 3D structures using these precursors, their temperature-dependent average residence time on the substrate and growing deposit needs to be known. This is a prerequisite for employing the simulation-guided 3D computer aided design (CAD) approach to FEBID/FIBID, which was introduced recently. We fabricated a series of rectangular-shaped deposits by FEBID at different substrate temperatures between 5 ∘ C and 24 ∘ C using the precursors and extracted the activation energy for precursor desorption and the pre-exponential factor from the measured heights of the deposits using the continuum growth model of FEBID based on the reaction-diffusion equation for the adsorbed precursor.
Background: Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a direct-writing technique with nanometer resolution, which has received strongly increasing attention within the last decade. In FEBID a precursor previously adsorbed on a substrate surface is dissociated in the focus of an electron beam. After 20 years of continuous development FEBID has reached a stage at which this technique is now particularly attractive for several areas in both, basic and applied research. The present topical review addresses selected examples that highlight this development in the areas of charge-transport regimes in nanogranular metals close to an insulator-to-metal transition, the use of these materials for strain- and magnetic-field sensing, and the prospect of extending FEBID to multicomponent systems, such as binary alloys and intermetallic compounds with cooperative ground states.
Results: After a brief introduction to the technique, recent work concerning FEBID of Pt–Si alloys and (hard-magnetic) Co–Pt intermetallic compounds on the nanometer scale is reviewed. The growth process in the presence of two precursors, whose flux is independently controlled, is analyzed within a continuum model of FEBID that employs rate equations. Predictions are made for the tunability of the composition of the Co–Pt system by simply changing the dwell time of the electron beam during the writing process. The charge-transport regimes of nanogranular metals are reviewed next with a focus on recent theoretical advancements in the field. As a case study the transport properties of Pt–C nanogranular FEBID structures are discussed. It is shown that by means of a post-growth electron-irradiation treatment the electronic intergrain-coupling strength can be continuously tuned over a wide range. This provides unique access to the transport properties of this material close to the insulator-to-metal transition. In the last part of the review, recent developments in mechanical strain-sensing and the detection of small, inhomogeneous magnetic fields by employing nanogranular FEBID structures are highlighted.
Conclusion: FEBID has now reached a state of maturity that allows a shift of the focus towards the development of new application fields, be it in basic research or applied. This is shown for selected examples in the present review. At the same time, when seen from a broader perspective, FEBID still has to live up to the original idea of providing a tool for electron-controlled chemistry on the nanometer scale. This has to be understood in the sense that, by providing a suitable environment during the FEBID process, the outcome of the electron-induced reactions can be steered in a controlled way towards yielding the desired composition of the products. The development of a FEBID-specialized surface chemistry is mostly still in its infancy. Next to application development, it is this aspect that will likely be a guiding light for the future development of the field of focused electron beam induced deposition.
Vorzustellen ist hier ein längerfristig angelegtes Forschungsprojekt. Mit ihm steckt das Institut für Personengeschichte (IPG) in Bensheim eines seiner neuen Kernarbeitsfelder ab. Das Vorhaben bewegt sich historisch-geographisch in einem Gebiet, in dessen Einzugsbereich beziehungsweise in dessen Mitte das Institut liegt, einer Region, die mindestens seit dem hohen Mittelalter einen Kernraum jüdischen Lebens in Deutschland bildete. Das Gefüge von Rhein-Main- und Rhein-Neckar-Raum stellt ein Gebiet dar, auf das natürlich auch viele prosopographische, d.h. systematische, der Erforschung von Personenkreisen dienende Materialien des Instituts gravitieren. Unter Nutzung eigener, d.h. personen- und familiengeschichtlicher Quellen wie über gezielte Erforschung einzelner Personen und Gemeinschaften soll in diesem regional abgesteckten Rahmen, sozial- wie kulturgeschichtlich motivierbar, eine vergleichsweise homogen erscheinende Bevölkerungsgruppe in ihrer Typik wie in ihren historischen Wirkzusammenhängen für die Zeitspanne von etwa einem halben bis Dreivierteljahrhundert erfasst werden: natürlich nur über eine signifikante Auswahl, die sich im weiteren Fortgang unserer Arbeiten ergeben wird. Dies geschieht einerseits vor dem Fragenhorizont historischer Elitenbildung, andererseits, um in Raum und Zeit eingrenzbare soziologische Phänomene wie Milieukonstitution und Verflechtung herauszuarbeiten. Zielführend ist dabei die Leitfrage, auf welche Weise diese Entwicklungen erkennbare Eigenbeiträge zur individuellen wie gesellschaftlichen Lebensgestaltung geleistet haben. So verstanden und angewandt wird Prosopographie zur Ideengeschichte.
Background: Prospective memory is the ability to recall intended actions or events at the right time or in the right context. While cannabis is known to impair prospective memory, the acute effect of cocaine is unknown. In addition, it is not clear whether changes in prospective memory represent specific alterations in memory processing or result from more general effects on cognition that spread across multiple domains such as arousal and attention.
Aims: The main objective of the study was, therefore, to determine whether drug-induced changes in prospective memory are memory specific or associated with more general drug-induced changes in attention and arousal.
Methods: A placebo-controlled, three-way, cross-over study including 15 regular poly-drug users was set up to test the influence of oral cocaine (300 mg) and vaporised cannabis (300+150 ‘booster’ µg/kg bodyweight) on an event-based prospective memory task. Attentional performance was assessed using a divided attention task and subjective arousal was assessed with the Profile of Mood States questionnaire.
Results: Results showed that cocaine enhanced prospective memory, attention and arousal. Mean performance of prospective memory and attention, as well as levels of arousal were lowest during treatment with cannabis as compared with placebo and cocaine as evinced by a significantly increased trend across treatment conditions. Prospective memory performance was only weakly positively associated to measures of attention and arousal.
Conclusion: Together, these results indicate that cocaine enhancement of prospective memory performance cannot be fully explained by parallel changes in arousal and attention levels, and is likely to represent a direct change in the neural network underlying prospective memory.
The thickness of the cerebral cortex can provide valuable information about normal and abnormal neuroanatomy. High resolution MRI together with powerful image processing techniques has made it possible to perform these measurements automatically over the whole brain. Here we present a method for automatically generating voxel-based cortical thickness (VBCT) maps. This technique results in maps where each voxel in the grey matter is assigned a thickness value. Sub-voxel measurements of thickness are possible using sub-sampling and interpolation of the image information. The method is applied to repeated MRI scans of a single subject from two MRI scanners to demonstrate its robustness and reproducibility. A simulated data set is used to show that small focal differences in thickness between two groups of subjects can be detected. We propose that the analysis of VBCT maps can provide results that are complementary to other anatomical analyses such as voxel-based morphometry.
