摘要:
The present invention relates to a logic gate, comprising a metamaterial surface enhanced Raman scattering (MetaSERS) sensor, comprising (a) alphabetical metamaterials in the form of split ring resonators operating in the wavelength range of from 560 to 2200 nm; and (b) a guanine (G) and thymine (T)-rich oligonucleotide that can, upon presence of potassium cations (K + ), fold into a G-quadruplex structure, and in presence of Hg 2+ , form a T-Hg 2+ -T hairpin complex that inhibits or disrupts the G-quadruplex structure formed in presence of K + , as well as methods of operating and using such a logic gate.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of forming a monolayer of nanorods on a substrate, wherein the nanorods are at least substantially vertically aligned, the method including providing a droplet of a solution including said nanorods on a substrate, and controlling the temperature and the evaporation of the solution such that the internal region of the droplet is kept at near equilibrium status to allow formation of the monolayer of nanorods. The present invention also relates to the monolayer of nanorods on the substrate thus obtained. The present invention also further relates to an optical arrangement and use of the optical arrangement.
摘要:
A method of generating a metamaterial operable in the visible-infrared range is provided. The method comprises a) depositing a layer of a conductive material on a substrate; b) forming a layer of electron beam resist on the layer of conductive material; c) patterning the layer of electron beam resist using electron beam lithography to form a patterned substrate; d) depositing a layer of a noble metal on the patterned substrate; and e) removing the resist. A metamaterial operable in the visible-infrared range comprising split-ring resonators having a least line width of about 20 nm to about 40 nm on a substrate is provided. A transparent photonic device or a sensor for chemical or biological sensing comprising the metamaterial is also provided.
