I think it best to contact the author Oomman Varghese at Penn State.

Astronuc's suggestion is a good one: authors of papers are allowed to send copies of their paper on request (in fact, some journals allow their authors to post full journal versions of papers on personal websites).

Alternatively if you don't want to 'bother' the author, since you are at an institution, you should be able to request your library to order you a copy of the paper in question.

If there's no download link then unfortunately it isn't available there.

There are various papers by some of those authors on the Nano Archive http://www.nanoarchive.org/ , but not the specific one you've mentioned. So you'll have to follow the other suggestions eg contact one of the authors, you may get lucky and get a quick email response.

yijing84, it is illegal to ask for someone to circumvent procedure and send you a copy. Do not ask again.
