Higher precision in nanotechnology is achieved through advanced techniques and tools. Some of the key methods include:
1. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): This technique allows scientists to image and manipulate atoms and molecules with nanometer resolution. 2. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM): STM provides atomic-scale imaging and can also be used to move individual atoms on a surface. 3. Electron Beam Lithography (EBL): EBL is employed for creating extremely fine patterns required for nanodevice fabrication. 4. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE): MBE allows for the controlled growth of thin films with atomic layer precision.
