We have used neutral chromium atoms to write periodic nanometerscale structures in a direct way. We use the force exerted on the induced dipole of the atom in the intensity gradient of an optical standing light field to focus an atomic beam onto a substrate. The generated pattern reflects the symmet

We have used a conductive Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) tip to expose a very thin resist film. An exposing current of low energy electrons was induced from the tip to the substrate by applying a small bias voltage. Uniform resist films as thin as 10 nm were fabricated using the Langmuir-Blodgett tec
## Abstract A modified tapping mode of the atomic force microscope (AFM) was introduced for manipulation, dissection, and lithography. By sufficiently decreasing the amplitude of AFM tip in the normal tapping mode and adjusting the setpoint, the tipβsample interaction can be efficiently controlled.
Sub-100 nm V-grooves in GaAs(001) surfaces have been fabricated by patterning a thin photoresist layer with an atomic force microscope (AFM) and subsequent wet-chemical etching. The nanolithography is based on the dynamic ploughing technique. Anisotropic etchants under investigation are bromine-meth
