Electrically-Excited Surface Plasmon Nanosources Based on Carbon Nanotube Light Emission – E²pLAS
Carbon nanotube opto-electronics and plasmonics exploit novel fascinating physical phenomena and are among the most promising research areas for nanotechnology providing functional nano-objects for data transfer and processing at ultimate device densities. We propose interfacing these two technolo
Novel force spectroscopy with nanopores – Nanopore
The aim of this proposal is to use solid-state interfaced with biological nanopores to develop a novel force spectroscopy on the single molecule level. Nanopores offer a unique possibility for analysis of molecules in a volume of ~10^-23 l. Electric fields allow to pull charged macromolecules into
We approach the problem of interfacing nanoscopic molecules with macroscopic electrodes by using nanoscale intermediates. Our multiple-scale architecture, based on two-dimensional arrays of nanoparticles and metallic nanowires, provides reliable and robust access to electrical, optical and mechani
The project focuses on the control of radiative emission of Erbium ions in photonic crystal nanostructures made of crystalline Silicon, with the goal of achieving laser emission around 1.54 micron wavelength. To this purpose, photonic crystal waveguides and nanocavities will be fabricated in Si me
The objective of the project is the growth and manipulation of semiconducting (silicon) and metallic (gold) nanoobjects (nanodots, nanowires) in/on an oxide matrix in order to fabricate devices in which the different fabric elements will be interfaced to create a new generation of nano-transistors
SEmicoNducting SupramOlecular nanoscale wiRes and Field-Effect TransistorS – SENSORS
SENSORS aims to generate new knowledge to underpin the development of new interfacing protocols for nanoscale organic logics. SENSORS relies on supramolecular approach to the design, synthesis and use of solution-processable Supramolecularly Engineered Nanostructured Materials (SENMs) with electr
Orienting functional nano-objects and addressing them in a well-defined geometry has proved to be an extremely difficult task. INOFEO aims at using nanocontainers, zeolites L, as interfacing tool to the external word. The zeolites possessing 1D nanoscale channels, filled with molecules, or chemica
We propose to develop a dynamic nanotool for use in drug discovery. This nanotool is based around a nanoactuator that uses a biological molecular motor to manipulate DNA and attached objects, in this case a magnetic bead. An electronic sensing system, based on MagnetoResistive (MR) devices will dete
We aim to grow specific-sized metal and semiconductor nanoparticles inside water-soluble rigid molecular cages called cucurbiturils, and subsequently assemble them into functional nano-chains. Combining these filled cages with welldefined connector molecules allows us to precisely define particle
