	Damping of acoustic vibrations in gold nanoparticles By studying bipyramid-shaped gold nanoparticles with highly uniform sizes and shapes, researchers in CNM’s Nanophotonics Group working with colleagues at the University of Melbourne and the University of Chicago, have isolated the portion of damping due to the surrounding liquid and developed a quantitative parameter-free model.

	STM nanopatterning on pristine Nb-doped SrTiO3 surfaces Collaborative users from the Advanced Photon Source, working with the Electronic & Magnetic Materials & Devices Group, have found a controllable way to modify the surfaces of pristine Nb-doped SrTiO3 (Nb:STO) at the nanoscale. (More >>)
	Nanoscale piezoresponse of ferroelectric domains Researchers in the Electronic & Magnetic Materials & Devices Group and at Politecnico di Milano in Italy explored the limits of antiferromagnetism in a nanostructured material for the first time, measuring the temperature required to support antiferromagnetic order in atomic monolayers of manganese on tungsten as the dimensions of the structures are reduced.
