Fabrication and Characterization of Micro- and Nanojets

 

Nisarga Naik, Mark G. Allen

 

With advancements in microfluidics, the applications of micro/nanojets are expanding to a variety of areas, such as ink jet printing, drug and gene delivery, nanofabrication, and microelectronic cooling. This project involves generation and characterization of liquid and gaseous jets ejected from microfabricated nozzles with dimensions ranging from 500 nm to 20 µm.
