Professor Placid Ferreira, along with PhD student Kyle Jacobs, recently wrote a research paper that was published in Advanced Functional Materials. The paper, titled “Painting and Direct Writing of Silver Nanostructures on Phosphate Glass with Electron Beam Irradiation,” gives an in-depth look into the study of using an electron beam to write patterns on a specific type of conductive substrate. The outcome of their research will benefit other scientists in furthering the development of writing with electron beam irradiation.
