Shrinking of Solid-state Nanopores by Direct Thermal Heating
(Asghar et al;SpringerOpen;, 2011-05-04)
Solid-state nanopores have emerged as useful single-molecule sensors for DNA and proteins. A novel and simple technique for solid-state nanopore fabrication is reported here. The process involves direct thermal heating of ...
Viscosity and surface-free energy effects in thermal shrinking of solid-state nanopores
(American Institute of Physics;, 2012-06-05)
Solid-state nanopores are fabricated by either drilling these in thin membranes or by shrinking large pores with electron/ion beam. Simple heating of thin membranes with many large pores has been shown recently to controllably ...
Microheater platform for selective detachment of DNA
(American Institute of Physics;, 2012-08-30)
Despite deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)’s well-known temperature sensitivity, not much work has been reported on leveraging temperature to manipulate the interaction of DNA with surfaces. This paper describes a microheater ...
pH-dependence of conduction type in cuprous oxide synthesized from solution
(AIP;, 2010-06-28)
The formation of native point defects in cuprous oxide, Cu2O, synthesized from solution has been studied by first-principles calculations. Although p-type conduction is obtained in Cu2O synthesized from vacuum regardless ...
Optical Refractive Index Sensing Based on High-Q Bound States in the Continuum in Free-Space Coupled Photonic Crystal Slabs
(MDPI, 2017-08-11)
High sensitivity (S) and high quality factor (Q) are desirable to achieve low detection limit in label-free optical sensors. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate that single-layer and coupled bi-layer photonic crystal ...
Porous Organic Nanolayers for Coating of Solid-state Devices
(BioMed Central ;, 2011-05-14)
Highly hydrophobic surfaces can have very low surface energy and such low surface energy biological interfaces can be obtained using fluorinated coatings on surfaces. Deposition of biocompatible organic films on solid-state ...
