    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods of forming single-crystal metal-silicide nanowires and resulting nanowire structures. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method of fabricating nanowires is disclosed. In the method, a number of nanowire-precursor members are formed. Each of the nanowire-precursor members includes a substantially single-crystal silicon region and a polycrystalline-metallic region. The substantially single-crystal silicon region and the polycrystalline-metallic region of each of the nanowire-precursor members is reacted to form corresponding substantially single-crystal metal-silicide nanowires. In another embodiment of the present invention, a nanowire structure is disclosed. The nanowire structure includes a substrate having an electrically insulating layer. A number of substantially single-crystal metal-silicide nanowires are positioned on the electrically insulating layer.

    Abstract: An apparatus and related methods for facilitating surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is described. A SERS-active structure near which a plurality of analyte molecules is disposed is periodically deformed at an actuation frequency. A synchronous measuring device synchronized with the actuation frequency receives Raman radiation scattered from the analyte molecules and generates therefrom at least one Raman signal measurement.

    Abstract: NERS-active structures for use in Raman spectroscopy include protrusions extending from a surface of a substrate. A Raman signal-enhancing material is disposed on at least one surface of a first protrusion and at least one surface of a second protrusion. The Raman signal-enhancing material disposed on the first protrusion projects laterally in a direction generally towards the second protrusion, and the Raman signal-enhancing material disposed on the second protrusion projects laterally in a direction generally towards the first protrusion. At least a portion of the Raman signal-enhancing projecting from the first protrusion and at least a portion of the Raman signal-enhancing material projecting from the second protrusion may be separated by a distance of less than about 10 nanometers. Raman spectroscopy systems include such NERS-active structures, and methods for performing Raman spectroscopy include irradiating an analyte proximate such a NERS-active structure and detecting Raman-scattered radiation scattered by the analyte.

    Abstract: An implantable nanosensor includes a stent to be implanted inside a fluid conduit. The stent has a well in a surface of the stent. The implantable nanosensor further includes a nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate disposed in the well. The nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate is to produce an optical scattering response signal indicative of a presence of an analyte in a fluid carried by the fluid conduit when interrogated by an optical stimulus signal.
