The understanding of material self-assembling and self-organization mechanisms, at mesoscale, is crucial for nanotechnologies development. Such structures, hierarchically organized in superlattices or colloïdal crystals, are observed in inorganic or organo ...
Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is composed of 2130 identical coat protein subunits following the right-handed helix of an accompanying RNA strand to produce a 300 nm hollow cylinder with an outer diameter of 18 nm and a 4 nm wide central channel. In this work, ...
This thesis describes some of three years'work carried at the Centre Suisse d'Electronique et de Microtechnique (Neuchâtel, Switzerland) under the supervision of Dr. Martha Liley and in collaboration with Prof. Horst Vogel of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédéra ...
The use of nanomaterials has been shown to be promising in potential applications such as magnetic storage devices, nano-optical devices and sensors, amongst others. Such applications require the disposition of nanoparticles, of a wide variety of materials ...
We report on the properties of electrochemically modified SWCNTs bearing a functional organic layer and a low density of noble metal nanoparticles, respectively. First, a novel approach to nanoscale pH sensors is demonstrated which involves the gentle modi ...
Nanostructures are known to exhibit novel optical, electrical, and magnetic and many other interesting physical properties and a lot of research has been invested on the synthesis and study of such structures in the recent years. The massive drive towards ...
With the possibility of creating and handling nanometer-sized objects, it became popular to dream of future miniaturized tools allowing completely new applications in medicine and technology. Mother nature created during evolution many such self-assembled ...
Energy transfer between nanoscale particles is demonstrated for a Gold/rare-earth oxide nanocomposite. The gold nanoparticle acts as an antenna, absorbing light that can then be transferred to the bound rare-earth oxide (see Figure), enhancing the oxide lu ...
In this paper we describe new ways to realise micro-channels. The used technologies are based on a novel thick-film photoplastic, the SU-8. This photoresist has outstanding properties, allowing the realisation of high aspect ratio microstructures. It is a ...
