    摘要: A NERS-active structure includes a deformable, active nanoparticle support structure for supporting a first nanoparticle and a second nanoparticle that is disposed proximate the first nanoparticle. The nanoparticles each comprise a NERS-active material. The deformable, active nanoparticle support structure is configured to vary the distance between the first nanoparticle and the second nanoparticle while performing NERS. Various active nanoparticle support structures are disclosed. A NERS system includes such a NERS-active structure, a radiation source for generating radiation scatterable by an analyte located proximate the NERS-active structure, and a radiation detector for detecting Raman scattered radiation scattered by the analyte. A method for performing NERS includes providing such a NERS-active structure, providing an analyte at a location proximate the NERS-active structure, irradiating the NERS-active structure and the analyte with radiation, varying the distance between the nanoparticles, and detecting Raman scattered radiation scattered by the analyte.

    摘要: A switching device includes at least one bottom electrode and at least one top electrode. The top electrode crosses the bottom electrode at a non-zero angle, thereby forming a junction. A metal oxide layer is established on at least one of the bottom electrode or the top electrode. A molecular layer including a monolayer of organic molecules and a source of water molecules is established in the junction. Upon introduction of a forward bias, the molecular layer facilitates a redox reaction between the electrodes, thereby reducing a tunneling gap between the electrodes.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of forming a controlled distribution of nano-particles on a surface. The method includes forming a layer of block copolymer having at least two types of blocks. Each type of block has a respective type of polymer. The block copolymer has an exposed surface and the blocks have exposed surface portions. The blocks are distributed on a substrate. The method also includes attaching nano-particles to the surface portions of at least one and less than all types of the blocks so that the attached particles form a controlled distribution on the surface of the block copolymer.
