因为偶以前做纳米材料和纳米器件，是个材料研究学会的会员。前天收到这个，就翻译出来看看。看起来翻译还挺难的。

1st Place Winner
Gold Nanopyramids
High resolution scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of gold nanopyramids supported by silicon pedestals. The orientation-dependent optical properties of the nanoparticle arrays have revealed new insight into the interaction between light and materials at the nanoscale. These structures are also being explored in applications such as chemical and biological sensing and nanophotonics. Joel Henzie developed the large-area (>1 in. 2 covered by ~10 8 pyramids) nanofabrication techniques to create the pyramids while working in the Odom lab at Northwestern University . The results are published in J. Phys. Chem. B [Joel Henzie, Kevin L. Shuford, Eun-Soo Kwak, George C. Schatz, and Teri W. Odom, J. Phys. Chem. B ., 2006, 110 , 14028-14031].

第一名： 纳米黄金金字塔： Joel Henzie, Northwestern University
高分辨扫描电镜照片:在硅衬底上的金的纳米金字塔.。这种纳米颗粒的阵列的光学性能具有方向相关性。这种特性使得人人们对于纳米尺度里的光-物质的作用具有了更深的理解。科学家正在探索这种结构在化学，生物和纳米光子学上的应用。 在Northwestern 大学里Odom lab的Joel Henzie 已经研究出大尺度（在一平方英寸里有10的8次方个纳米金字塔）的纳米制备技术。他们的结果发飙在J. Phys. Chem. B [Joel Henzie, Kevin L. Shuford, Eun-Soo Kwak, George C. Schatz, and Teri W. Odom, J. Phys. Chem. B ., 2006, 110 , 14028-14031].

并列第一名： 上古时代--- “从古典到量子艺术”：Ee Jin Teo, National University of Singapore



A 500×500 μm photoluminescence image of “Ancient of Days” was created in porous silicon using focused helium beam writing and subsequent electrochemical etching in hydrofluoric acid. Due to quantum confinement effect, visible light emission is observed from the nanosized silicon skeleton left behind after etching. It is found that pre-irradiation with a helium beam is able to change the local resistivity of the silicon and the emission wavelength of the porous silicon formed. The higher the dose of the beam, the redder the photoluminescence wavelength becomes. Here, we see that the figure of the man is depicted in orange and his face and masculinity is highlighted by the black outline created using high dose irradiation. His left hand reaches out for a pair of compass that is rested on a red sphere, surrounded with a yellowish orange aura. Using the high resolution capability of focused ion beam writing, we are able to transform William Blake’s piece of classical art into an image consisting of finely tuned nanocrystals, which we call ‘quantum art’.

这个名为“上古时代”500×500平方微米的光致荧光照片来至多孔硅。先用聚焦氦离子束处理，然后在氢氟酸里用电化学腐蚀而成。由于量子限制效应，这个纳米尺度的腐蚀后剩下的硅的骨架能发出可见光（河边注：体材料硅的发光波长在红外。因为量子限制效应，禁带带宽变大，发光波长变短，因此能发出可见光。另外，体硅不怎么发光，应为它是简介带隙的材料。只有纳米硅才能高效率地发光）。已经发现，氦离子束的预处理可以改变硅的电阻率和多孔硅发光的波长。束流量越大，发光波长就越向红光方向移（河边注：就是往长波方向移）。在这个图里，偶们看到橙红色勾勒处的男人。他的脸和须发用黑色完成。这些黑色区域是用高的氦束剂量来达到的。他伸出左手去拿在被橙黄的眩光围绕的红色球体上的一副圆规（原文如此）。
利用高分辨率的聚焦离子束写入技术，偶们可以把William Blake的经典名画转移到有可以精细调节的纳米晶体上。偶们呢，成这个叫“量子艺术”。

第二：纳米 棒棒糖 名 Sarang Ingole, Arizona State University


This picture is showing side-view of a silicon-nanowire held between and resting on two opposite nickel electrodes. One end (right side) of the nanowire has small nickel sphere on it which makes it look like a lollipop and since here it is with nanowire we gave it a name “Nano-pop”. This picture was captured using Hitachi S-4700 FESEM while the normal to the sample was making 85 degrees angle with respect to primary electron beam of the FESEM.


这是一个侧面图，现实了搭在两个镍电极间的一根硅纳米线。在右边的那一头，纳米线连着一个小的纳米镍金属球，看起来就象是个棒棒糖。所以偶们叫它"纳米棒棒糖"。此图由日立S-4700场发射扫描电镜拍摄。样品法线跟电子束成85度角。

GaAs Sea Creatures
This is an image of defects on a GaAs surface following hydride vapor phase epitaxy.  The image was taken using a Nikon Optical Microscope with Nomarski contrast.

并列第二名：花粉上的黄昏，Samuel Shian, Georgia Insitute of Technology
Pollen Dawn
This SEM image was taken from surface of a TiO2 pollen. The pollen was converted into titania chemistry by using shape-preserving gas-solid displacement reaction. The apparent grainy surface was nanocrystalline anatase. The original image was manipulated in an image editing program to add color and lighting effects.


这是一个TiO2小球表面的扫描电镜照片。这个小球是由花粉再经“保形气-固替换反应”而转化成氧化钛的。透明的表面尖角是锐钛矿的纳米晶体。此图经后续图片加工（加了颜色和照明效果）。

Water on a Nanostructured Gold Surface
The image is a photograph of a droplet of water sitting on a nanostructured gold surface prepared by templated electrodeposition.  The colours are produced by the reflection of white light and excitation of surface plasmons on the structured surface.  Surfaces of this type show strong surface enhancement for SERS of molecules adsorbed at their surface.

一滴水在用电铸方法制备的纳米结构的金的表面。这些颜色由白光在表面反射和那些表面等离子体激元产生。这种类型的表面对吸附在它上面的分子显示出很强的SERS表面增强效应。

不错，艺术真是无处不在阿
