Abstract: A scattering spectroscopy nanosensor includes a nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate to produce an optical scattering response signal indicative of a presence of an analyte when interrogated by an optical stimulus. The scattering spectroscopy nanosensor further includes a protective covering to cover and protect the nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate. The protective covering is to be selectably removed by exposure to an optical beam incident on the protective covering. The protective covering is to prevent the analyte from interacting with the nanoscale-patterned sensing substrate prior to being removed.

Abstract: An ionic device includes a layer (220) of an ionic conductor containing first and second species (222, 224) of impurities. The first species (222) of impurity in the layer (220) is mobile in the ionic conductor, and a concentration profile of the first species (222) determines a functional characteristic of the device (200). The second species (224) of impurity in the layer (220) interacts with the first species (222) within the layer (220) to create a structure (226) that limits mobility of the first species (222) in the layer (220).

Abstract: According to an example, an apparatus for performing spectroscopy includes a parabolic reflector and a plurality of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) elements spaced from the parabolic reflector and positioned substantially at a focal point of the parabolic reflector. The parabolic reflector is to reflect Raman scattered light emitted from molecules in a near field generated by the plurality of SERS elements to substantially increase the flux of the Raman scattered light emitted out of the apparatus.
