Human beings have witnessed unprecedented developments since the 1760s using precision tools and manufacturing methods that have led to ever-increasing precision, from millimeter to micrometer, to single nanometer, and to atomic levels. The modes of manufacturing have also advanced from craft-based manufacturing in the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages to precisioncontrollable manufacturing using automatic machinery. In the past 30 years, since the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope, humans have become capable of manipulating single atoms, laying the groundwork for the coming era of atomic and close-to-atomic scale manufacturing (ACSM). Close-to-atomic scale manufacturing includes all necessary steps to convert raw materials, components, or parts into products designed to meet the user’s specifications. The processes involved in ACSM are not only atomically precise but also remove, add, or transform work material at the atomic and close-to-atomic scales. This review discusses the history of the development of ACSM and the current state-of-the-art processes to achieve atomically precise and/or atomic-scale manufacturing. Existing and future applications of ACSM in quantum computing, molecular circuitry, and the life and material sciences are also described. To further develop ACSM, it is critical to understand the underlying mechanisms of atomic-scale and atomically precise manufacturing; develop functional devices, materials, and processes for ACSM; and promote high throughput manufacturing.

利用二维相对论电磁粒子模拟程序研究了激光等离子体中电子热流在各向异性等离子体中的发展演化过程,提出了单位时间内等离子体临界表面上输运的能量与电子自由路程之间的函数关系,得到了用经典Spitzer-Harm理论来描述的电子热传导公式,探讨了经典电子热传导模型与被限制的自由热流随时间的变化情形。数值结果表明,强激光照射等离子体薄靶时的初始时刻电子热流迅速增大,但由于周边的自生磁场对电子的运动有限制作用,因此热流随时间缓慢地减少。对这些过程的研究对于电子热流的衰减和热输运等过程有重要意义。
