ELECTRON PHYSICS GROUP With its history of more than 50 years, the Electron Physics Group is well established at NIST, having an impressive track record of accomplishments in electron optics, spin-polarized magnetic imaging (scanning electron microscope with polarization analysis, or SEMPA) , laser manipulation of atoms, and nanoscale characterization.

The effort on nanoplasmonics, which has demonstrated a MEMS structure formed with nano-processing capable of measuring photon pressure in a "left-handed" metamaterial system, is particularly clever. This MEMS structure was an exemplary demonstration of the processing capability of the NIST Nanofab facility.

Activities such as the use of a conductive atomic force microscope (AFM) to measure the spatial distribution of electron emission from a working organic photovoltaic device are interesting, but they do not probe the physical reasons for the observed nonuniform spatial distribution of photocurrent or of surface potential under illumination conditions.

materials using the electrostatic force mode of AFM and the development of functional tips suitable for photoresponse measurement in liquid environments. Future plans include measurement of the timeresolved transient photoresponse of energy materials using ultrafast optical physics by a scientist to be hired.
