- University of Illinois researchers measure near-field behavior of semiconductor plasmonic microparticles
- April 22nd, 2013 at 10:00pm
- Researchers at Dr. King's group have measured nanometer-scale infrared absorption in semiconductor plasmonic microparticles using a technique that combines atomic force microscopy with infrared spectroscopy. The ability to directly measure the plasmonic behavior within individual microparticles will allow researchers to design and test more complex optical materials.

- Nanotechnology-based materials identification enables critically needed chemical metrology for nano-manufacturing. A group of researchers in Dr. King's group and at Anasys Instruments used atomic force microscope based infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) to characterize polymer nanostructures and systems of integrated polymer nanostructures.
About Us
The Nanoengineering Laboratory works across the technical areas of nanotechnology, instrumentation, materials science, thermal transport, and micro- and nano-manufacturing. We take a broad view towards aligning our work across the domains of science, technology, and commerce. Researchers join the Nanoengineering Laboratory to develop their skills for understanding scientific fundamentals, advancing the state of the art technology, and seeking translational impact.
The Nanoscale Thermal Processing Laboratory is directed by Professor William P. King of the Mechanical Science and Engineering Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Our activities are located in Rooms 49 - 53 of the Mechanical Engineering Building (MEB), and in the various micro/nanofabrication facilities across campus.
