The Fabrication of Arrays of Single Ions in Silicon Via Ion Implantation The fabrication of arrays of single ions in silicon via ion implantation Jessica van Donkelaar Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2014 School of Physics, Faculty of Science The University of Melbourne Abstract Conventional computers are approaching fabrication limits where statistical variation in the placement of single dopants greatly impacts device perfor- mance. Additionally, practical modelling of more than a handful of atoms while accounting for quantum properties can only be performed with a quan- tum computer. Fabricating a solid state Si:P Kane architecture will require deterministic doping; the ability to accurately place dopants within a sub- strate. We have implemented an apparatus for creating arrays of single P donor atoms within Si. We model the fabrication of a three-donor device for demonstrat- ing the coherent transfer by adiabatic passage transfer (CTAP) protocol and show that it can be done with deterministic ion implantation through a 20nm nanostencil stepped 30 nm between implants to produce a yield of 1-in-7 well placed arrays. Single ion implantation is an established method of device fabrication that involves detecting single 14 keV P+ ions entering a substrate via the charge induced as the ion collides with the lattice. We have tested various designs for the single ion detector to evaluate the sources of good performance and achieved 98 4 % counting efficiency with the classic design in high purity sil- ± icon. We have fabricated 200 nm think Si3N4 nanostencils with slot and hole shaped apertures as small as 20 nm using the focusssed ion beam (FIB) technique of 0.0.0 back filling larger apertures with Pt. These adequately mask a 14 keV P+ ion to define the implant site. We have built apparatus that employs a piezo-positioner to move the nanos- tencil above the surface of a single ion detector. This system is LN2 cooled within a high vacuum to implement deterministic doping. The fine alignment of the nanostencil to the implant site is performed using the ion impact signals as feedback over a patterned area of the detector and we have demonstrated this concept to a precision of sub-100 nm. Declaration This is to certify that: 1. The thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD except where indicated. 2. Due acknowledgment has been made in the text to all other material used. 3. The thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, bib- liographies, appendices and footnotes. Jessica van Donkelaar Preface The Si substrate detectors we employ for single ion implantation are fabri- cated at the Semiconductor Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) as a collaboration between nodes of the Centre for Quantum Computer Technology (CQCT). The detectors produced during the course of this work in particular were fabricated primarily by Nai Shyan Lai and Fay Hudson. Post doctoral fellow Andrew Alves collaborated in designing the apparatus and worked with me to get the MeV IBIC data of section 3.0.9 and the shadow mask implants of section 5.2. Acknowledgments I would like to thank the many people who provided both technical assistance and moral support during my PhD project. My sincere thanks go to Roland Szymanski for showing me the inner workings of the pelletron and to Alberto Cimmino similarly laying bare the colutron. I am grateful to Sergey Rubanov for the training of the FIB/SEM system and assistance with the TEM. Thank you Andy Greentree for CTAP advice, to Changyi Yang for all his invaluable help in the lab and to Andrew Alves for working with me. Thank you to my supervisor David Jamieson for his enthusiasm and attentive guidance over the years. And finally, thanks go to my family and friends for their support, especially my parents Meryl & Patrick van Donkelaar and my husband David Perry.

  • Music, Silence, and the Senses in a Late Fifteenth-Century Book of Hours
    Music, Silence, and the Senses in a Late Fifteenth-Century Book of Hours TIM SHEPHARD, LAURA ȘTEFANESCU, AND SERENELLA SESSINI, University of Sheffield Although it is common in the musicological literature to compare decorated music books with books of hours, studies addressing the musical features of books of hours are rare. This article considers musical features in the decoration of a book of hours made by leading illuminators in Ferrara ca. 1469. Images appearing in books of hours are considered to have had an exemplary and meditative function in relation to devotional practice; therefore, this study asks what the reader was intended to learn from musical images, drawing conclusions about the alignment of the senses and the significance of music in fifteenth-century religious experience. INTRODUCTION IT HAS BECOME something of a commonplace in the musicological literature to draw comparisons between books of hours and manuscripts containing polyphonic music. Bonnie Blackburn, for example, has pointed out that the elite owners and users of the magnificent manuscripts produced in the Habsburg-Burgundian Alamire scriptorium must have registered the close similarity of their Ghent-Bruges style decoration to the illuminations gracing their much smaller books of hours, such that their treasured music books “must have seemed like a musical book of hours.”1 Responding to Blackburn’s comment, Honey Meconi has discussed chansonniers as “secular equivalents of books of hours,” in terms of their size, decoration, intent to guide and instruct, and in some respects in terms of their contents.2 Cultivating the same link in broader terms, Jane Alden has linked the Loire Valley chansonniers and books of hours decorated in the style of Jean Fouquet (1420–81) as complementary products of a “culture of small This research was conducted within the three-year project “Music in the Art of Renaissance Italy, ca.

  • 184-Sant'isidoro a Capo Le Case
    (184/11) Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case Sant'Isidoro a Capo le Case is a 17th century convent church in the modern rione Ludovisi (the historic rione Colonna). The dedication is to St Isidore the Farmer (also known as Isidore the Labourer), who is patron of the city of Madrid in Spain, and to St. Patrick. This is the national churches of Ireland. The church is served by the Irish Reformed Franciscaa Observants. (1) (a) History The church and convent were founded by Spanish "Reformed Observant" Franciscans in 1622, the same year that St Isidore of Madrid was canonized. The founders had a patron in Ottaviano Vestri, a famous jurist from Barbiano who left a legacy (his death had been in 1574). Construction began in 1622, the architect was Antonio Felice Casoni. However, things must have gone badly wrong because the brethren went back to Spain only two years later and left the project abandoned. Money seems to have been a problem. (1) (6) The unfinished complex, and the debts attached to it, devolved to the central curia of the Franciscan order at Santa Maria in Aracoeli. Resident at that time in the convent of San Pietro in Montorio was a famous Irish Franciscan friar and theologian called Luke Wadding, O.F.M., a voluminous writer and a very forceful personality. He had the idea of founding a house of studies for Irisn Franciscans, and the Franciscan order handed over the complex to him.

  • DNA Damage Repair: Historical Perspectives, Mechanistic Pathways and Clinical Translation for Targeted Cancer Therapy
    Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy www.nature.com/sigtrans REVIEW ARTICLE OPEN DNA damage repair: historical perspectives, mechanistic pathways and clinical translation for targeted cancer therapy Ruixue Huang1 and Ping-Kun Zhou 2 Genomic instability is the hallmark of various cancers with the increasing accumulation of DNA damage. The application of radiotherapy and chemotherapy in cancer treatment is typically based on this property of cancers. However, the adverse effects including normal tissues injury are also accompanied by the radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Targeted cancer therapy has the potential to suppress cancer cells’ DNA damage response through tailoring therapy to cancer patients lacking specific DNA damage response functions. Obviously, understanding the broader role of DNA damage repair in cancers has became a basic and attractive strategy for targeted cancer therapy, in particular, raising novel hypothesis or theory in this field on the basis of previous scientists’ findings would be important for future promising druggable emerging targets. In this review, we first illustrate the timeline steps for the understanding the roles of DNA damage repair in the promotion of cancer and cancer therapy developed, then we summarize the mechanisms regarding DNA damage repair associated with targeted cancer therapy, highlighting the specific proteins behind targeting DNA damage repair that initiate functioning abnormally duo to extrinsic harm by environmental DNA damage factors, also, the DNA damage baseline drift leads to the harmful intrinsic targeted cancer therapy. In addition, clinical therapeutic drugs for DNA damage and repair including therapeutic effects, as well as the strategy and scheme of relative clinical trials were intensive discussed. Based on this background, we suggest two hypotheses, namely “environmental gear selection” to describe DNA damage “ ” fi 1234567890();,: repair pathway evolution, and DNA damage baseline drift , which may play a magni ed role in mediating repair during cancer treatment.
