Work-function measurement by high resolution scanning Kelvin nanoprobe (2007)
Journal Article
Cheran, L., Johnstone, S., Sadeghi, S., & Thompson, M. (2007). Work-function measurement by high resolution scanning Kelvin nanoprobe. Measurement Science and Technology, 18(3), 567-578. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/18/3/005

Nanoscience promises to transform today's world in the same way that integrated semiconductor devices transformed the world of electronics and computation. In the post-genomic era, the greatest challenge is to make connections between the structures... Read More about Work-function measurement by high resolution scanning Kelvin nanoprobe.

Nanometer scale patterning using focused ion beam milling (2005)
Journal Article
Petit, D., Faulkner, C., Johnstone, S., Wood, D., & Cowburn, R. (2005). Nanometer scale patterning using focused ion beam milling. Review of Scientific Instruments, 76(2), Article 026105. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1844431

We report on the performance of focused ion beam (FIB) milling in order to produce nanometer scale devices. Resolution issues have been systematically studied as a function of emission current and working distance, by imaging single pixel lines FIB m...

Improving the probability of detection for a 2D ultrasonic array using digital signal processing techniques (2003)
Journal Article
Snowdon, P., Johnstone, S., & Dewey, S. (2003). Improving the probability of detection for a 2D ultrasonic array using digital signal processing techniques. Insight - Non-Destructive Testing & Condition Monitoring, 45(11), 743-745. https://doi.org/10.1784/insi.45.11.743.52956

An experiment was conducted to investigate the potential of using a linear array of probes consisting of a single transmitter (Tx) and multi-passive receivers (Rx) to improve defect detection. The array consisted of three 5 MHz straight-beam probes w... Read More about Improving the probability of detection for a 2D ultrasonic array using digital signal processing techniques.

A 2D static ultrasonic array of passive probes for improved probability of detection (2003)
Journal Article
