Nanomagnet fabrication using nanoimprint lithography and electrodeposition
(2013)We present a novel fabrication process for the growth of metal nanostructures that combines nanoimprint lithography and electrodeposition, both of which are suitable for large-scale industrial fabrication. Gold nanostructures ... -
Rectennas revisited
(2013)In the late 1960s, a new concept was proposed for an infrared absorbing device called a "rectenna" that, combining an antenna and a nanoscale metal-insulator-metal diode rectifier, collects electromagnetic radiation in the ... -
Back-gated spray-deposited carbon nanotube thin film transistors operated in electrolytic solutions: An assessment towards future biosensing applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)We report on back-gated carbon nanotube (CNT) thin-film transistors (CNTFETs) and their performance in electrolytic solutions to assess their suitability for future application as biosensors. Spray-deposited CNT networks ... -
Scalable spray deposition process for high-performance carbon nanotube gas sensors
(2013)A significant step toward commercialization of novel carbon nanotube (CNT) electronics involves the development of large area and high-throughput processes for the fabrication of high-quality CNT films. In this study, we ... -
Flexible carbon nanotube based gas sensors fabricated by large-scale spray deposition
(2013)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are demonstrated as one of the most interesting materials for gas sensing. The possibility to obtain CNT thin-films via solution-processing techniques has paved the way for low-cost applications of ... -
Fabrication of carbon nanotube thin films on flexible substrates by spray deposition and transfer printing
(2013)We present two different processes for the deposition of high quality CNT films on flexible substrates. The first is a simple and low cost transfer printing process that transfers CNT films deposited on glass to a flexible ... -
Low-cost thermo-optic imaging sensors: A detection principle based on tunable one-dimensional photonic crystals
(2013)Infrared (IR) sensors employing optical readout represent a promising class of devices for the development of thermographic imagers. We demonstrate an infrared radiation detection principle based on thermally tunable ... -
Role of microstructure on optical properties in high-uniformity In1-xGaxAs nanowire arrays: Evidence of a wider wurtzite band gap
(AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 2013)Accessing fundamental structure-property correlations in ternary semiconductor nanowires is a challenging endeavor often limited by large compositional inhomogeneities. Here, we investigate strongly periodic In1-xGaxAs ... -
Tunable thermoresponsive TiO2/SiO2 Bragg stacks based on sol-gel fabrication methods
(2013)Thermoresponsive TiO2/SiO2 one-dimensional photonic crystals (Bragg stacks) fabricated via sol-gel processing methods represent a promising class of environmentally responsive nanostructures featuring optically encoded ...
