    Abstract:
    We describe a method to pattern SiO2 surfaces with colloidal gold nanoparticles by e-beam lithography and selective nanoparticle deposition. The simple technique allows us to deposit nanoparticles in continuous straight lines, just one nanoparticle wide and many nanoparticles long. We contact the prepositioned nanoparticles with metal leads to form single electron transistors. The Coulomb blockade pattern surprisingly does not show the parasitic "offset charges" at low temperatures, indicating relatively little surface contamination.

The mission of Duke's Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science educational programs is to provide the knowledge, skills, and credentials needed to be successful in the practice of engineering; the preparation necessary to undertake professional registration; an educational preparation for graduate or professional study; and an education background that is the basis for professional growth and leadership throughout a career that may encompass a broad range of endeavors, both technical and non-technical.
