摘要： A method of forming an assembly of isolated nanowires of at least one material within a matrix of another material is provided. The method comprises: providing a substrate; forming a catalyst array on a major surface of the substrate; growing an array of the nanowires corresponding with the catalyst array, the nanowires, each comprising at least one material; and forming a matrix of another material that fills in spaces between the nanowires. The method is useful for producing a variety of structures useful in a number of devices, such as photonic bandgap structures and quantum dot structures.

摘要： A photonic interconnect system avoids high capacitance electric interconnects by using optical signals to communicate data between devices. The system can provide massively parallel information output by mapping logical addresses to frequency bands, so that modulation of a selected frequency band can encode information for a specific location corresponding to the logical address. Wavelength-specific directional couplers, modulators, and detectors for the photonic interconnect system can be efficiently fabricated at defects in a photonic bandgap crystal. The interconnect system can be used for both classical and quantum information processing.

摘要： A method of aligning first and second mating surfaces includes: generating a random or pseudo-random function; convolving the random or pseudo-random function with a spread function to produce a correlated function; forming a pattern of bi-polar material on the first mating surface based on a quantization of the correlated function; and forming a complementary pattern of the bi-polar material on the second mating surface. The complementary patterns exert a force on each other toward a desired alignment of the first and second mating surfaces. A system includes a first member having a first correlated pattern of material disposed on a first mating surface; and a second member having a second correlated pattern of material disposed on a second mating surface, wherein the second correlated pattern is complementary to the first correlated pattern. The first and second correlated patterns interact to facilitate a desired alignment of the first and second members.
