Magnetoresistance signature of resonant states in electromigrated Ni nanocontacts (2011)
Journal Article
Beaufrand, J. B., Dayen, J. F., Kemp, N. T., Sokolov, A., & Doudin, B. (2011). Magnetoresistance signature of resonant states in electromigrated Ni nanocontacts. Applied physics letters, 98(14), 142504-1 - 142504-3. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3576939

Fundamental insight is reported into magnetoresistance properties of ballistic-type atomic size Ni nanojunctions obtained at low temperatures. Feedback-controlled electromigration was used to reveal the ballistic nature of the transport and stabilize...

Electronic transport in conducting polymer nanowire array devices (2011)
Journal Article
Kemp, N. T., Newbury, R., Cochrane, J. W., & Dujardin, E. (2011). Electronic transport in conducting polymer nanowire array devices. Nanotechnology, 22(10), Article ARTN 105202. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/22/10/105202

We report on the temperature dependent conductivity and current-voltage (I-V) properties of novel polyaniline nanowire array devices. Below 60 K, I-V measurements show a transition to non-linear behaviour, leading to the onset at 30 K of a threshold...

Nanotrench for nano and microparticle electrical interconnects (2010)
Journal Article
Dayen, J.-F., Faramarzi, V., Pauly, M., Kemp, N. T., Barbero, M., Pichon, B. P., Majjad, H., Begin-Colin, S., & Doudin, B. (2010). Nanotrench for nano and microparticle electrical interconnects. Nanotechnology, 21(33), Article 335303. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/21/33/335303

We present a simple and versatile patterning procedure for the reliable and reproducible fabrication of high aspect ratio (10 4 ) electrical interconnects that have separation distances down to 20 nm and lengths of several hundreds of microns. The pr... Read More about Nanotrench for nano and microparticle electrical interconnects.

Study of molecular spin-crossover complex Fe(phen)(2)(NCS)(2) thin films (2009)
Journal Article
Shi, S., Schmerber, G., Arabski, J., Beaufrand, J.-B., Kim, D. J., Boukari, S., Bowen, M., Kemp, N. T., Viart, N., Rogez, G., Beaurepaire, E., Aubriet, H., Petersen, J., Becker, C., & Ruch, D. (2009). Study of molecular spin-crossover complex Fe(phen)(2)(NCS)(2) thin films. Applied physics letters, 95(4), 043303. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3192355

We report on the growth by evaporation under high vacuum of high-quality thin films of Fe(phen)(2)(NCS)(2) (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) that maintain the expected electronic structure down to a thickness of 10 nm and that exhibit a temperature-driven s...

Characteristics of the nucleation and growth of template-free polyaniline nanowires and fibrils (2008)
Journal Article
Kemp, N. T., Cochrane, J. W., & Newbury, R. (2009). Characteristics of the nucleation and growth of template-free polyaniline nanowires and fibrils. Synthetic Metals, 159(5-6), 435-444. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.synthmet.2008.11.001

Template-free electrochemical deposition of large arrays of uniform and oriented conducting polymer nanowires has recently been demonstrated. In this article, we build upon the key earlier findings and report new phenomena (initial formation of a 2D...

The stability of PEDOT:PSS films monitored by electron spin resonance (2008)
Journal Article
Lee, J. K., Cho, J. M., Shin, W. S., Moon, S. J., Kemp, N. T., Zhang, H., & Lamb, R. (2008). The stability of PEDOT:PSS films monitored by electron spin resonance. Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 52(3), 621-626. https://doi.org/10.3938/jkps.52.621

We used electron spin resonance (ESR) and electrical conductivity measurements to track the stability of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and ethylene glycol (EG)-treated PEDOT:PSS (EG-PEDOT:PSS) films in air. We... Read More about The stability of PEDOT:PSS films monitored by electron spin resonance.
